Reflect on Your Running
From Last Week: by Sheila Yaw-MacLean
Since the new year is approaching I thought
the article below would help
"Rocks" reflect on the year past and help us search
for the answer to the
one question that must be on most minds. Why did so many "Rocks"
end up on
the injury list this year???? Are we a product of our own addiction???
Read on. The article is a little lengthily but it's good. Also
take the
test at the end "Have you gone over the edge?". According
to that test I
have. Quel surprise. Happy New Year to All. May we all stay
healthy and
strong.

Excellent article on running addiction.
Am I addicted to exercise? Yes. Am I over the edge? I am close
to the edge at times by your test. I answered yes to two questions.
Missing a work out is depressing, but I try to remember that
the next day's workout will (and so far has been) twice as good.
You will always benefit from undertraining, and will never benefit
from over training.
I have worked out when I have had a cold.
We should try to remember that any movement can be regarded
as cross training in an exercise program. For example, if I
am scheduled to do an easy run, but because of the weather forecast,
I really should cut the grass, I will look at cutting cutting
the grass as my workout. That way I will not be over training,
and will still be achieving the real life stuff. Go to the beach
with your family and do some laps. Go on a bike ride with your
family. It is still cross training, just that it includes the
rest of your life.
We also need to do a reality check. Yes we need to do a lot
of training for a marathon. Yes we are athletes. Yes we have
a goal for our time. Yes we will be depressed if we do not reach
our goal. But in reality, we are not professional ( that being
paid ) athletes. If we miss our goal or a training run, it will
not affect our jobs, pay cheques, or the rest of our career.
The day, and even the minute, after the run, our lives go on.
If a professional athlete misses the goal that is a separate
story.
Congratulations, your article was bang-right-on.

Run in Memory of Kurt
On Saturday, January 31 the Sudbury Rocks!! Running Club
will hosting our second annual Run in Memory
Of Kurt Gelbhaar.
Kurt died suddenly on Tuesday, January 29, 2002. He was
in his 79th year and still running competitively. He was
a mentor and inspiration to most local runners and it
is fitting his actions be remembered.
The Run will be very informal. There will be no set distances
and it is not a race. We will meet in the lobby of the
Cambrian Fitness Centre off Lorne St. at 9:00 am on Saturday,
January 11. The run will start at approximately 9:15 am
and will proceed at a leisurely pace towards Bell Park
and Science North. Runners are free to go whatever distance
appeals to them or fits their schedule but ALL runners
will be encouraged to stick together for the first 1/2
hour
We hope to see you there.
