I started out at the age of fourteen, sprinting for the Howard County Junior Striders in Maryland. I got talked into it because I was not good at too many things, especially in gym class, except for running relays and running about a half-mile one day in gym class. My mom got me into the Howard County Junior Striders through someone she knew whose daughter was in it. Since then I have been around the running scene, even though I felt it took me a while to get in decent shape so that I could finish running two miles without stopping. I started to genuinely enjoy distance running throughout my high school years at Hammond High School in Howard County. I started out with cross country to try and stay in shape for track, but then stuck with the distance events instead of the sprinting and field events because I thought I was a little stronger in those events. At first, I was not that big into running (especially competing), but as high school went on I started to begin to look forward to pushing for improvement and I even ran some local road races to help stay in shape. Running in high school helped me learn time management, discipline, and appreciation for achievements; values that helped me do well academically and manage my time around several other extra-curricular activities. I kept it up through college, spending many semesters running on the cross country and track & field teams at Salisbury University on the Maryland Eastern Shore and improved quite a bit in many different events and distances. I graduated from Salisbury in the May of 2006 with an English-Creative Writing major and a Spanish minor, and in addition to running on the team, I wrote features and sports articles for the school newspaper (the Salisbury Flyer), worked at the on-campus recycling center, played intramural flag football for a semester, and was a member of Campus Crusade for Christ among other things. Right now I am employed by the Howard County School System as a substitute teacher and am working at Safeway as a service clerk. I hope to get a more solid job in the school system sometime soon! I also enjoy writing and I recently finished manuscripts for a fantasy story that I hope will some day become a published novel, God willing. One of the most consistent things I have taken from school has been a strong joy of running competitively, recreationally, and socially. Since graduating from college on the Maryland Eastern Shore, I have run a bunch of races between Carroll County, MD and the MD Eastern Shore. However, within the last few months, I decided to “branch out” a bit and go for a more quixotic yet fun goal: I want to run in at least one running event in every county of Maryland (including one in Baltimore City) before the year 2007 is over. I know there are races/running events in every county of Maryland and of course in Baltimore too, but some of the challenge lies in the logistics and strategically planning of when to run in each county (especially when it comes to counties where it is slim pickings year-around running events). I have been very blessed with solid progress on that in just the past few months and I continue to look forward to more progress, meeting new people, and seeing new places in Maryland. I recently decided to join this club, because I figured that in my endeavors to run events in my twenty-four goal areas, I would probably be able to at least come close to getting fifty races in this year, so I figured I might as well give it a whirl. This project I am working on is for fun and I want to see if I can do it while juggling other things going on in life. Any money I make as a result of this I plan on donating just about all of it to Katrina Relief Efforts, Team in Training, and a few churches/ministries. I recently started a blog of my progress and some of my experiences (with more pictures coming soon hopefully). I hope to have some detailed journal entries up sometime soon about all the events I have done this year and in which goal area I have run them in, and who knows, maybe I will be blessed enough to have them published as well.

He continued to run when he moved to Maryland in 1982. He is married and has a 13-year-old daughter. Ronnie competes in many races and works as a chef at the Inner Harbor six days a week.
Now 62, he did not begin running until he was 34, after he moved from Singapore to Bermuda, where he was working as a chef and hanging out in discos every night until 4:00 a.m. A friend bet him six shots of whiskey that he could not finish a 10K race. He finished, drank the shots and got hooked on running. He ran his first 10K race nine months later and then moved to Baltimore. He even ran a marathon in Bermuda the day after his wedding in 1988 and won, making headline news.
He has run in a total of 113 marathon including Boston, New York, Stockholm, San Francisco, Minnesota, Virginia, New Jersey, and Montreal.
In 1990, he competed as an Ultra Runner, in the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team, at New York's Flushing Meadow Park. In this 1,300-mile race, Ronnie Wong was first, after completing 1,177 miles, approximately 65 miles a day. Ronnie ran for 14 days, 23 hours, 32 minutes, and 31 seconds, placing as the 4th fastest American and 16th fastest in history. The following year 1991 he raced again and ran 1,215 miles placing third, but he cut his time to 14 days, 12 hours, 48 minutes, and 25 seconds. 1. 01/01 Baltimore Resolution 5K 21:47 2. 01/07 Mississippi Marathon 3:41:17 1st AG 3. 01/15 Bermuda Marathon 3:47:21 4. 02/05 Penguin Pace 5K 22:13 5. 02/12 HCS Longfellow 2M 14:53 1st AG 6. 02/19 GW Marathon 4:09:51 7. 02/26 RRCA Challenge 10M 1:16:15 1st AG 8. 03/04 Little Rock Marathon 3:42:20 1st AG 9. 03/11 Kelly's Shamrock 5K 21:44 1st AG 10. 03/18 HCS Northfield 5K 22:07 11. 03/24 HCS Northfield 5K 22:17 1st AG 12. 03/25 White Hall 15K 1:13:02 13. 04/01 Cherry Blossom 10M 1:12:00 14. 04/01 HCS Burleigh Manor 2 mile 15:17 15. 04/04 McDaniel Twilight Invitational 5K 23:10 16. 04/16 Boston Marathon 4:13:51 17. 04/29 Gettysburg Marathon 3:41:49 1st AG 18. 05/12 Musical Madness 5K 21:31 1st AG ***************************************************************** Robert Wolhar ***************************************************************** 1. 01/01 Hair of the Dog 10K 1:06:46 2. 02/04 Run To the Plunge 5K 32:47 ***************************************************************** John Winkert ***************************************************************** 1. 01/08 Disney Marathon 7:16:50 2. 02/29 Tidal Basin 3000M 21:15 3. 03/21 Tidal Basin 5K 35:15 4. 04/18 Tidal Basin 3K 21:29 ***************************************************************** Jay Wind ***************************************************************** 1. 01/01 DCRRC Predictions & Resolutions 5K 22:15 2. 01/02 John Tyler 10K 49:30 1st AG 3. 01/07 DCRRC Al Lewis 10M 1:14:41 1st AG 4. 01/08 PVTC Indoor Track 5K 22:13 1st AG 5. 01/08 PVTC Indoor Track 1M 6:59 6. 01/15 Houston Marathon 3:18:40 7. 01/18 Tidal Basin 5K 23:50 8. 01/21 DCRRC JFK 20K 1:38:53 1st AG 9. 01/22 PVTC Indoor Track 5K 23:21 1st AG 10. 01/22 PVTC Indoor Track 3K 14:44.9 11. 01/22 PVTC Indoor Track 1M 7:06.2 12. 02/04 PG Sportsfest 1M 6:25:28 13. 02/04 PG Sportsfest 3K 12:41.19 1st AG 14. 02/04 PG Sportsfest 5K 22:05.4 15. 02/05 PVTC TJ Meet 1M 6:48 16. 02/05 PVTC TJ Meet 3K 13:56.2 17. 02/12 DCRRC Langley 8K 40:54 1st AG 18. 02/15 Tidal Basin 5K 21:27 1st AG 19. 02/18 By George 5K 21:27 3rd AG 20. 02/19 GW Marathon 4:06:55 21. 02/26 RRCA Challenge 10M 1:14:15 22. 02/29 Tidal Basin 3000M 14:29 1st AG 23. 03/04 Burke Lake Park 12K 54:09 1st AG 24. 03/10 USATF PVA Champ 1500m 6:07.42 25. 03/11 Lower Potomac Marathon 3:49:04 26. 03/17 Rock 'n' Roll Marathon 4:50:21 27. 03/21 Tidal Basin 22:50 1st AG 28. 04/07 PVTC Easter Classic 10K 55:57 29. 04/16 Boston Marathon 4:17:20 30. 04/29 Pike's Peek 10K 46:28 31. 05/16 Tidal Basin 5K 23:16 32. 05/19 Run for a Dream 8K 37:04 33. 05/20 Capitol Hill 10K 46:45 2nd AG ***************************************************************** Jon Williams ***************************************************************** I started running again in 2001 after a 13 year break.

I rode the coattails of my teammates to a team state championship in cross-country in 1982. What I gained from cross-country and track in high school I will always carry with me. I have run nine marathons, but a tenth is not necessarily forthcoming. However, I run a lot of races (obviously) to motivate myself to train. Running provides a great release from the stresses of teaching. After all these years, I'm still running and still in high school. 1. 01/01 MCRRC New Year's Day 5K 19:54 2. 01/01 WRRC Winfield Mile 5:48.9 1st AG 3. 01/01 HCS Prediction 8K 4. 01/02 Thomas Jefferson 3K 12:12 winner 5. 01/08 Mighty Medford Freeway 5K 20:23 1st AG 6. 01/14 MCRRC Shooting Starr 6K 24:06 7. 01/15 HCS Atholton 5K 19:39 8. 01/16 James Monroe 5K 20:39 winner 9. 01/22 PVTC Indoor Track 3K 11:52.6 10. 01/22 PVTC Indoor Track 1M 5:43.2 11. 02/04 Lews Memorial 10M 1:11:50 1st AG 12. 02/05 Bear Run 4M 27:04 13. 02/12 Country Run 5M 34:49 14. 02/12 HCS Longfellow 10K 44:26 1st AG 15. 02/19 HCS Swansfield 5K 19:50 1st AG 16. 02/20 John Tyler 10K 42:31 17. 02/26 RRCA Challenge 10M 1:10:18 18. 03/04 WRC Prediction 4M 26:56 19. 03/10 McDaniel Track 5K 20:04 1st AG 20. 03/11 HCS Jeffers Hill 15K 1:05:55 21. 03/17 Forest of Needwood 5M 34:27 22. 03/18 HCS Northfield 5K 19:33 23. 03/25 Piece of Cake 10K 42:02 24. 03/31 5K4CFF 20:11 25. 04/07 WRRC Kowomu Trail 4M 29:01 26. 04/14 MCRRC Spin in the Woods XC 8K 37:43 27. 04/15 Clyde's 10K 42:35 28. 04/18 Main Street Mile 5:20 29. 04/21 MCRRC Brookeville 5K 20:09 30. 04/22 HCS Longfellow 2M 13:08 1st AG 31. 04/26 Firebirds Mile 5:37 32. 04/28 Tiger Trot 5K 19:43 1st AG 33. 04/29 Pike's Peek 10K 42:49 34. 05/05 Sandmount 4M 26:54 2nd overall 35. 05/06 Frederick Half Marathon 1:34:46 36. 05/13 Run Aware 5K 21:03 37. 05/13 HCS Swansfield 1M 5:44 1st AG 38. 05/19 Germantown 5M 34:27 39. 05/20 Scoot for Scooter 5K 20:31 winner ***************************************************************** Walt Washburn ***************************************************************** Walt Washburn of Vienna, VA after running the Northern Central Trail Marathon in 4:17:26 on 11/27/99. This was the only marathon that I did not race. I only ran a training pace because I had run the hilly Richmond Marathon two weeks before in 4:16:45. I am now 77 years old. I ran high school cross-country during the years 1937-39. I placed third in the State Meet at Bates College in Lewiston, ME in 1939. I started road running in the Fall of 1972 at 50 years of age during th:e Frank Shorter inspired running boom. Since then I have won 32 plaques, 39 trophies, 40 ribbons, 86 medals, 46 patches, 51 certificates, 29 miscellaneous items, and dozens of mugs/glasses. I have nine drawers of shirts. I have run the Boston Marathon four times. I have completed 51 marathons and dropped out of nine more.

I have a fiendish smile, but do not worry; it is only the smile that's fiendish. My life is a little complicated. My parents moved from China to Philippines. I grew up in Manila, and have only stayed in the states for seven years. I am a tax accountant, but I don't have an accounting degree. I'm a CNA, but I'm not a consultant nor administrator for now. I used to smoke two packs a day and drank (I plead the fifth on how much), but kept a busy, physical routine. I played competitive basketball, tennis, swam, worked out, etc. I've been joining races since I was in high school, but I didn't consider them as racing. I just started racing a year and a half ago. I hope to get more PR's in the near future. A couple of folks mentioned to me the 50 plus club, and I thought it's something that I can do. I get bored easily, as much as possible I try to do as much as I can. This is not even the tip of the iceberg. Maybe I should write a book in 20 years, but nobody's going to buy it. I think running with members from 50 Plus Club, several running clubs in the area and the company running club has made my life more colorful and interesting. I think of it as "sharpening the saw". Running keeps me going. I can't say enough how much I appreciate the help that we get from the race directors and volunteers. The running community also has impressive people in terms of running skills, personalities, careers, etc. I look up to a bunch of them.

**************************************************************** Steve Speirs ***************************************************************** DOB: 18th August 1966 City of Birth: Cardiff, Wales City of Residence: Virginia Beach, VA I started running as a teenager in the early 80s, initially as a way of keeping fit for High School football (soccer) and rugby. In 1982 my rugby coach persuaded me to enter my first road race – the Barry Half Marathon in Wales. I finished in the top 30% and from that point on was hooked. I enjoy racing everything from the mile to a 50K and have also been known to participate in triathlons ranging from Sprint to Ironman distance events - the 2004 Ironman in Lake Placid is easily my biggest multi-sport accomplishment. My favorite running event is the marathon and this year's Frederick Marathon was my 25th successful race over the classic 26.2 mile distance, and the 21st since I moved to Virginia in 2001. My current best marathon time is 2:45:22, set at the 2011 Marine Corps Marathon I still believe I can run faster and am keen to break 5 minutes for the mile and 16:50 minutes in the 5K. I'd also like to dabble with Ultras at some stage in my running career. I write about my training, racing and other running-related topics at Run Bulldog Run, log my workouts at the dailymile web site and I'm also quite active on the Twitter scene.

Came down with Polio in 1952 that made me weak and scrawny. Moved to the suburbs and completed secondary school at Bethesda-Chevy Chase H.S. Attempted to perform adequately at the University of Maryland but came up short (very) after the first year. Went on active duty in the U.S. Navy Seabees and did construction work on two tours of duty in Vietnam. During the second tour was wounded, the most significant time with an 82MM mortar round that left me partially disabled. Having learned the hard way about life, went back to the University of Maryland for a B.S. degree then George Washington University for a M.S.A. Didn’t want to dig ditches the rest of my life and get my butt shot up again---. Got into exercise jogging and running in the mid-1980’s, but never took it seriously until my older brother started doing marathons. I went to see him run the Cape Cod Marathon and a skinny, older gentleman was the honorary speaker and race starter, Bill Rodgers. Then I saw him run the Marine Corps Marathon and set as a goal the same accomplishment. Ran my first race in 1995 and have been hooked on doing races ever since. Completed five marathons and six half marathons in 1999. Recently relocated from the northern Virginia suburbs to Arlington, Texas (between Fort Worth and Dallas). It took me no time to find out the area is rich in running clubs and races, to include several highly recognized marathons. The relocation has set me back in the race count category but plan to get back into the groove and do the Country Music Marathon April 29th, even if I have to run/walk the course. Want to say a special thanks to all of the running friends in the Washington, D.C. area and the support provided. No matter where you place, the running infrastructure is positive, supportive and very friendly.John has big plans for 2001 Born in Washington, DC many years ago, grew up in the Bethesda-Chevy Chase area of Montgomery County, Maryland. Got into exercise jogging and running in the mid-1980’s, but never took it seriously until my older brother started doing marathons. I went to see him run the Cape Cod Marathon and a skinny, older gentleman was the honorary speaker and race starter, Bill Rodgers. Then I saw my brother run the Marine Corps Marathon and set as a goal the same accomplishment. Ran my first race in 1995 and have been hooked on doing races ever since. Completed five marathons in 2000, and three so far in 2001. Joined the Fifty States Marathon Club in 2001 and have set as a goal to run a marathon in each of the fifty states and DC. So far, I have completed twelve states, so I have a LONG way to go. In 2000, I relocated from the northern Virginia suburbs to Mansfield, Texas (south of the airport between Fort Worth and Dallas). It took me no time to find out the area is rich in running clubs and races, to include several highly recognized marathons. The relocation set me back on maintenance running, but finished 2000 with 149 races. Plan for 2001 is to back off on the race count, increase maintenance runs, and increase the number of marathons, with a goal of one a month.
Running difference between Washington, DC/Baltimore and the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex Areas
DFW has fewer rolling/hilly courses. DFW has more courses run on concrete vs. asphalt. DFW is big into Clydesdale Division race categories (opens up the race to greater participants). DFW has far greater races that have 5-year age groups AND go five deep in awards (definitely increases runner participation, even if the award is a ribbon/medal). DFW has more two or more race activities per event, such as a one miler at 8 A.M. and a 5K at 8:30 A.M. Opens up participation to more people and the number of races. DFW has two 5K-race series all summer long (12/13 weeks) held on weeknights. This is in addition to weeknight track meet summer series. DFW has warmer/hotter temperatures BUT the humidity is much less than the DC area. It seems easier to run in the heat/less humidity than less heat/more humidity. Running clubs have races scheduled once a month at “off traditional race times”, such as a Prediction 5K race first Tuesday of the month at 7 P.M., or a Back to Basics 5K Sunday at 4 or 6 P.M. DFW is big on Duathlon races run in parallel with a 5K race. Duathlon races are very well attended race activities in the area. (2- mile run, 9.6-mile bike and 2-mile run as an example). DFW running/athletic stores are much more active supporting races than in the DC area (Swiatocha, Run On!, Luke’s). They also are very active in sponsoring beginner, intermediate,advanced and marathon running training programs. DFW is comparable to the DC area in number of running clubs and their sponsorship of running activities and races. 1. 01/14 Healthy Strides 5K 2. 04/07 Rabbit Run 5K 3. 05/13 Ocala, FL M.O.M.S. 5K ***************************************************************** Beverly Smeby ***************************************************************** 1. 01/14 Healthy Strides 5K 2. 04/07 Rabbit Run 5K 3. 05/13 Ocala, FL M.O.M.S. 5K 1st AG ***************************************************************** Steve Scudder ***************************************************************** 1. 01/01 Hair of the Dog 5K 34:12 2. 01/07 TS Distance Series 20K 2:32:35 3. 01/14 Mud in your Eye 5K 36:46 4. 01/21 Mud in Your Eye X-C #2 - Mt.

My heart rate had been about 350 beats per minute for more than 24 hours. I had been a fairly gifted runner in high school but 20 years of inactivity and many beers had taken their toll. My heart got back into rhythm before being shocked and I vowed to get myself back into shape. Initially I had trouble just walking a mile. After several years, I worked my way up to a marathon. Since then, I have completed two marathons, including New York City in 2005. Because of my ongoing heart condition (much better thanks to running and medication), I will always be a back of the packer. However, I believe that my joy of running rivals that of the age group winners. My non running inspirations are my wife, Dori, who married me even though I was fat and out of shape and still encourages me and supports my racing, and my dog, Bailey, who is still going strong at 15 years and after losing her jaw to cancer 4 years ago. My running inspirations are my frequent racing buddies Kathy Goin, Andrea Sparks, and Yuri Kim; Lauren Burawski DiGennaro, the finest runner I know who has encouraged me to become a better runner; and people like John Shultz, Walt Washburn, and Christina Caravoulias, who inspire me with their ongoing joy for running. 1. 01/01 DCRRC Predictions & Resolutions 5K 41:11 2. 01/02 George Washington Mile 11:17 3. 01/15 HCS Atholton 5K 37:10 4. 04/06 Crystal City Fridays 5K 40:01 5. 04/13 Crystal City Fridays 5K 38:35 6. 04/27 Crystal City Fridays 5K 38:15 ***************************************************************** Chuck Raper Jr ***************************************************************** Retired from the club ***************************************************************** Mitch Radella ***************************************************************** Although I live in Pittsburgh, I was born in Silver Spring and I have lived in Hyattsville & Frederick.

My early training consisted of chasing squirrels and another varmint off the front yard. My dad just had this serious hatred of squirrels. Now, that I live in the DC area, my dad just sits on the porch yelling at them. Back to me, After running cross country and track at my high school, I moved on to Yale University where I ran all 4 years for the Bulldogs, and ultimately, earned a degree in Chemical Engineering.

Give a certain level financial freedom, I long to run back and forth across the country - much like Forrest Gump did in that movie. However, I would like adding a certain sense of adventure - I would like to fall in and out of adventures sort of like Bruce Banner in the Incredible Hulk. Instead of turning into a green monster, I would use my running ability to help ordinary folk out extraordinary circumstances. Everyone has to have a dream.

Running History
1990-2009
In 2006, Glenn had 15 Personal Records and in 2007 he ran 5 more PRs In 2006, his weight was 190 lbs and by the end of 2007 his weight was 178 lbs. Glenn ran 4 marathons before he turned 65 years of age and on December 2, 2007 ran the HCS Metric Marathon in Columbia, MD for another PR. Now in 2008, Glenn will be in a new age group-65-69. He hopes this will be a good year. He was injured in 2004 and had to take 4 months off from fast running, though he still ran races albeit with slower times. Through 2007 and so far in 2008 he has been injury free. Four years ago in 2004 he ran fifty races. He has run 547 races through this October in 20 years of racing.

I am married to a beautiful woman and have two great kids.... my oldest likes to run around the house as much as I do. Like to play in all types of sports and have always enjoyed good competition - regardless of the sport I am playing. Played football, baseball, wrestling, basketball, and lacrosse growing up. In college: Coming out of high school, I was recruited to play Football, Wrestling and Lacrosse at several Div. 1 schools. I chose (so I would have a personal life too) to just play men's lacrosse (4 varsity letters) for a team that was ranked #1 in the country many times). I never ran any type of track and field in college. Hey, my high school did not even have a track and field program.... did not pick up running races until about 1996. Back in 1998, I started the AMS (the company I work for) Running Club with another AMS and now it is 300+ people.... we always have a good time entering events as a Corporate Team. As an individual, I am a novice runner (the Lord has blessed me in many ways) who has learned how to train, and compete by watching others. I have been fortunate to train and learn running theory and techniques from Kyle Caudle. The DC area I believe is a great place to run. There is always a race to run and there are all different types of runners to compete against. I admire and have great respect for runners like Christina Caravoulias, Peter Blank, John Winkert, Karsten Brown John Palks, Ray Blue, Susan Rizzieri and so many other 50 Plus runners who have a great attitude about running and are always there at the races with a smile regardless of where they finish. Life is a journey.... enjoy each mile.Warren Kohm's PRs

In past years, I have done a few races with the Baltimore County road running club, the BRRC. But in 2007 I have only done races in Howard County. I heard about this unique club after reading the most interesting blog of my friend Noah Wood who is a member of this club. I am currently 23 years old. I went to Centennial High and currently attended Towson University after transferring from Howard Community College and the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). While at UMBC, I wrote for the student newspaper the Retriever for a period of three semesters. During my stay at HCC, I wrote for the student newspaper The HCC Times for two semesters. I ran the Turkey Trots and Easter Fun Runs three times as a member of the UMBC Rec Sports community. From that experience, I truly learned that running recreationally can truly be an enjoyable experience. During both stints, I wrote for the sports section and was involved in the coverage of the cross country team from which I gained valuable insights that I was able to share with the campus community and personally learn from and enhance my own running. I am a History Major even though I started college as a Pre-Pharmacy major. I have been running road races of the type that the club members here participate in since I was a freshman in high school (9th grade).

He stopped shortly after, I never did. I started doing the Weekly Races with the Howard County Striders with the two milers being my 'long' run. It didn't take too long to make a 5K the long run and so on and so on. Two years ago, I started to get real serious about my running and while I will never be very fast, I am more fit than most people my age. I set my PR's in 5K at 22:06 last year and 10K in 48:50 both on a Howard County Striders Weekly race course. I set a 10-mile PR this year in the RRCA Challenge in 1:23:07. I have run the Metric Marathon twice and the B&A Half Marathon. I will run my first (and only?) marathon this October in the Marine Corps Marathon. I am currently on the Board of Directors of the Howard County Striders as the Weekly Race Director. The 50 plus club gives me incentive to keep running and it is pretty neat to meet some of the fellow members at various races. 1. 03/11 HCS Jeffers Hill 2M 19:08 ***************************************************************** Tami Graf ***************************************************************** 1. 01/07 DCRRC Al Lewis 10M 2:12:38 1st AG 2. 01/14 Iam 10K 1:32:01 3. 01/21 DCRRC MLK 5K 52:50 1st AG 4. 02/05 PVTC RW 3K 27:37.5 1st AG 5. 02/05 PVTC Mile 11:57.1 1st AG 6. 02/12 Sweethearts 4ever 4M 57:50 1st AG 7. 02/20 George Washington Mile 10:21 1st AG 8. 02/26 RRCA Challenge 10M 1:59:14 1st AG 9. 03/03 Fort Eustis 10K 66:24 1st AG 10. 03/10 USATF PVA Champ 1500M 8:54.25 11. 03/21 Tidal Basin 3K 18:11 1st AG 12. 03/26 Spring 5K 31:47 13. 03/31 Ukrop's Monument 10 K 1:42:31 1:03.27 1st AG 14. 04/19 race-Earth Day 5K, PAX NAS, 31:17 15. 04/21 Springburst 8K 57:23 1st AG 16. 05/06 BRRC WDF 5K 32:53 17. 05/12 Young Life 5K 31:14 1st AG 18. 05/14 One Hour Run 8,683M 19. 05/19 Run for a Dream 8K 51:51 1st AG 20. 05/20 Capitol Hill 10K 1:08:15 1st AG ***************************************************************** Sharyn Gordon ***************************************************************** 1. 01/01 MCRRC New Year's Day 5K 39:13 2. 01/01 Great Lengths 1.91M 27:37 3. 01/07 DCRRC Al Lewis 10M 2:43:01 4. 01/14 MCRRC Shooting Starr 6K 48:48 5. 05/06 BRRC WDF 5K 38:13 ***************************************************************** Kirk Gordon ***************************************************************** 1. 01/01 MCRRC New Year's Day 5K 22:32 2. 01/01 Great Lengths 6.28M 50:26 3. 01/07 DCRRC Al Lewis 10M 1:20:01 4. 01/14 MCRRC Shooting Starr 6K 28:50 5. 01/16 John Tyler 10K 48:11 6. 01/21 DCRRC MLK 5K 26:02 7. 01/21 DCRRC JFK 20K 1:44:26 8. 02/12 DCRRC Langley 8K 41:24 9. 02/15 Tidal Basin 5K 22:29 10. 02/19 GW Marathon 4:06:26 11. 02/20 John Tyler 10K 56:39 12. 02/26 RRCA Challenge 10M 1:19:28 13. 03/04 B & A Marathon 3:59:07 14. 03/11 HCS Jeffers Hill 15K 1:12:17 15. 03/17 Irish Sprint 10K 57:15 16. 03/21 Tidal Basin 5K 22:29 17. 03/25 Piece of Cake 10K 47:33 18. 04/01 Cherry Pit 10M 1:17:08 19. 04/01 HCS Burleigh Manor 2 mile 15:07 20. 04/18 Tidal Basin 5K 22:22 1st AG 21. 04/21 Springburst 8K 38:39 22. 04/22 HCS Longfellow 10K 52:16 23. 04/29 Thunder Hill 10K 47:46 24. 05/06 Potomac River Marathon 4:08:11 25. 05/13 HCS Swansfield 5K 23:14 26. 05/16 Tidal Basin 5K 22:27 ***************************************************************** Andrea Glasgow ***************************************************************** 1. ***************************************************************** Frances Gipson ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** Chuck Gentry ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** Ric Francke ***************************************************************** 1. 04/18 Tidal Basin 3K 25:29 2. 05/16 Tidal Basin 3K 24:52 ***************************************************************** Lee Fitzpatrick ***************************************************************** I do not know if most would consider me a runner, maybe a jogger who likes to run marathons. However, at 56 and over 200 pounds I am happy to plod along at a 5 hour pace. I ran my first marathon in 2000 at Disney World. My youngest sister had done it a couple of times and wanted me to join her since her husband usually ran the 1/2 marathon. I first wanted to do a marathon about 25 years ago while living in Los Angeles, but over trained, injured myself and gave up. Before Disney, I had done very little running, mostly hiking and walking. I had just come back from trekking in the Himalayas, so was in good shape. I felt I could finish, just did not know how long it would take. I crossed the finish in just over 5 1/2 hours. I was hooked. Maybe it was that great Mickey Mouse finisher medal. This year I finished Disney in just under 5 hours. Anyway, I ran four marathons last year plus a 50K-trail run. This year I plan to run a marathon a month and enough other races to reach 50. I must give some credit to Jeff Galloway for his run/walk method and marathon tips, they really work for me. I love to combine traveling with running marathons. Besides, touring the US, I ran (mostly walked) the Bangkok marathon last November. Even though it started at 4:00 am, it was very difficult due to the heat and humidity. This year I plan to run at least two more international marathons - probably Mexico City and one in Canada. ***************************************************************** Chris Farmer ***************************************************************** 1. 01/01 RASAC New Year's 10K 55:31 2. 01/01 Father Time 5M 40:32 3. 01/01 Baltimore Resolution 5K 24:50 4. 01/02 James Monroe 5K 26:16 1st AG 5. 01/07 DCRRC Al Lewis 10M 1:35:51 6. 01/08 Mighty Medford Freeway 5K 23:40 1st AG 7. 01/14 MCRRC Shooting Starr 6K 27:26 8. 01/15 GPS 8M 60:39 9. 01/16 John Tyler 10K 46:39 10. 01/21 DCRRC MLK 5K 24:29 11. 01/21 DCRRC JFK 20K 1:59:32 12. 01/29 RASAC Fox 5K 22:40 13. 02/04 Lews Memorial 10M 1:20:46 14. 02/05 Penguin Pace 5K 22:24 15. 02/05 Bear Run 4M 29:05 16. 02/11 BRRC Valentine's Day 10K 47:36 17. 02/12 Squirrelly Tail Twial Wun HM 2:30:29 18. 02/18 By George 10K 45:25 19. 02/19 GW Birthday Marathon Relay (9.7M leg) 20. 02/19 HCS Swansfield 5K 23:22 21. 02/20 James Monroe 5K 22:42 1st AG 22. 02/25 Patuxent Trail 10K 53:48 23. 02/26 RRCA Challenge 10M 1:13:39 24. 03/03 St. Mark Lion Prowl 5K 22:14 25. 03/04 B & A Half Marathon 1:37:43 26. 03/04 HCS Thunder Hill 2M 14:25 27. 03/10 Chambersburg HM 1:41:20 28. 03/11 DCRRC Fort Hunt 10K 46:05 29. 03/11 HCS Jeffers Hill 15K 1:18:12 30. 03/17 Mind Body & Soul 5K 21:11 1st AG 31. 03/17 Baybrook XC 5K 23:47 32. 03/17 Forest of Needwood 5M 38:23 33. 03/18 BRRC Prettyboy Trail 10K 51:18 34. 03/18 HCS Northfield 5K 22:01 35. 03/24 Bear Crawl 5K 21:43 1st AG 36. 03/24 HCS Northfield 5K 21:55 37. 03/25 W & OD Trail 5K 22:04 38. 03/25 White Hall 15K 1:12:49 39. 03/31 Nikia's Nippy Nor'easter HM 1:45:06 (course approx 1/4-mile long) 40. 04/01 Cherry Pit 10M 1:18:18 41. 04/01 HCS Burleigh Manor 5M 38:58 42. 04/06 Crystal City Fridays 5K 20:58 43. 04/07 Brave the Race 10K 46:18 2nd AG 44. 04/07 Brave the Race 5K 22:19 2nd AG 45. 04/13 Crystal City Fridays 5K 21:11 46. 04/14 Chuck Pacholkiw Memorial 5K 20:32 47. 04/15 Clyde's 10K 44:37 48. 04/18 Tidal Basin 5K 21:45 49. 04/18 Main Street Mile 5:26 50. 04/20 Crystal City Fridays 5K 21:23 51. 04/21 Springburst 8K 38:21 52. 04/22 BRRC Gunpowder Trail 5M 42:19 53. 04/22 HCS Longfellow 10K 50:24 54. 04/27 Crystal City Fridays 5K 21:41 55. 04/28 Trail Triple Crown HM 2:20:35 56. 04/28 Trail Triple Crown 10K 1:20:55 57. 04/28 Trail Triple Crown 5K 53:54 58. 04/29 Iron Girl 5K 25:25 59. 04/29 Thunder Hill 2M 17:42 60. 05/05 Hope for the Homeless 5K 23:35 2nd AG 61. 05/05 Frederick 5K 22:09 62. 05/06 LEAD Strong HM 1:42:01 (short course) 63. 05/12 Musical Madness 5K 21:44 64. 05/13 HCS Swansfield 5K 23:46 65. 05/19 Head of the Bay 5K ***************************************************************** John Duffy ***************************************************************** 1. 01/01 PRR Reston News Year's 5K 28:31 2. 01/08 BRATS Frozen 5K 26:48 3. 01/16 James Monroe 5K 27:07 4. 01/22 PVTC Indoor Track 1M 7:50.5 5. 02/11 Have a Heart 5K 29:10 6. 02/12 Love the Run you're with 5K 28:10 7. 02/20 GW Birthday Classic Parade Mile, Alexandria, VA 7:52 8. 03/03 Michael Pennefather 5K, Gainesville, VA 26:53 9. 03/04 FASA 5K, Spotsylvania, VA 28:00 10. 03/10 Four Court 4M 37:08 11. 03/11 St. Patrick’s Day 8K, Washington, DC 46:17 12. 03/18 Run for Haiti 5K, Reston, VA 27:58 13. 03/24 GC Round Shamrock Run 5K, Manassas, VA 28:32 14. 04/06 Crystal City Fridays 5K, Crystal City, VA 27:40 15. 04/07 PVTC Easter Classic 5K, Alexandria, VA 26:25 1st AG 16. 04/14 MAD 5K, Vienna, VA 27:40 17. 04/14 Woodson Autism Speaks 5K, Fairfax, VA 27:45 18. 04/20 Crystal City Fridays 5K 28:41 19. 04/22 GW Parkway Classic 5K, Alexandria, VA 28:07 20. 04/27 Crystal City Fridays 5K 28:35 21. 04/29 Earth Day 5K, Silver Spring, MD 28:59 22. 05/05 Manassas City Police Association 5K, Manassas, VA 27:41 23. 05/06 Lake Ridge May Day 5K, Lake Ridge, VA 29:51 24. 05/12 Manassas Runway 5K, Manassas, VA 24:13 25. 05/13 Angel Kisses 5K, Chantilly, VA 28:58 ***************************************************************** Sharlene Deskins ***************************************************************** 1. 01/01 HCS Prediction 8K 2. 01/14 MCRRC Shooting Starr 6K 35:49 3. 01/15 HCS Atholton 5K 30:30 4. 02/05 Penguin Pace 5K 30:02 5. 02/12 Country Run 5M 49:55 6. 02/19 HCS Swansfield 5K 29:05 7. 03/11 HCS Jeffers Hill 10K 63:34 8. 03/18 HCS Northfield 5K 29:19 9. 03/25 Piece of Cake 10K 1:04:31 10. 04/01 Cherry Pit 10M 1:43:54 11. 04/01 HCS Burleigh Manor 2 mile 18:36 12. 04/15 Clyde's 10K 1:06:44 13. 04/21 MCRRC Brookeville 5K 31:12 14. 04/22 HCS Longfellow 2M 18:41 15. 04/29 Thunder Hill 10K 1:05:25 ***************************************************************** Mike Daniels *****************************************************************

I'm fortunate to have done the following: 1994 TransAmerica Footrace (3,000 miles, Los Angeles to New York City) - 2nd overall (top American)

We settled in D.C. and I went through the schools there. At Wilson HS I pole-vaulted and ran XC in my senior year, 1963. After two years of studing hard, at Maryland U., I needed a break and volunteered for the 'Draft'. Did two years in the army, with one spent in Viet Nam. Next came marriage, family and starting my own business.....concentrating on doing the life things; money, house, cars, kids etc. I managed to skydive, ski, skate, bike, swim, motorcycle, et al., over the years and they kept me thrilled, excited and pumped with adrenaline. By my mid 40's I was quite chunky and hated the confinement. I tried everything but running was the only activity that helped get the weight off. Six + years and I'm still lovin it immensely and enjoy the competition of racing as well. ***************************************************************** Xavier Castillo ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** Rosanna Castillo ***************************************************************** 1. 01/01 Hair of the Dog 10K 1:02:40 2. 02/04 Run To the Plunge 5K 30:15 3. 03/10 Shadow Trail Series 10K Run 72:03 4. 04/15 Seashore Classic 1/2 Marathon 2:19:00 ***************************************************************** Rafael Castillo ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** Milena Castillo ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** Alejandro Castillo ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** Alberto Castillo ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** Adrian Castillo ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** Adan Castillo ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** Nick Caretti ***************************************************************** I grew up in Western Pennsylvania (just like everybody else who lives in the Washington area). Running was not a popular sport there, so I was amazed when I moved here six years ago that hundreds of people would show up on a Saturday morning for a race. My goals for this year are to set PR's at every distance and every course. So far, so good. I am a teacher, cross country, and baseball coach at Gaithersburg High School. I graduated from Penn State in 1993 and am an avid Penn State and Pittsburgh Steeler fan. I have been married to Amy (a future runner!) for 5 years and we have no kids (except for the 200 that we teach). You can find me at most local races. I am the one standing beside the dessert table wearing the Penn State hat. ***************************************************************** Christina Caravoulias ***************************************************************** After weight training and doing aerobics for several years, I started running indoors on a gym track in October 1997. With encouragement from my marathoner friend, Denise, I did my first 5K and 8K races that year. After I crossed the finish line that first time, I knew was hooked, and followed up with 32 total races in 1998. Last year I ran in 65 races (including 2 half marathons and seven 10-milers) and ran my longest distance in a 17 mile training run. My greatest running achievements thus far were a second place finish in the 1999 RRCA Championship Series and placing several times in my age group, including a 3rd place at the National Press Club 5K (see photo). My goal for this year is to be able to run a 24 minute 5K race and 6 minute mile sometime in the future. I love being part of the 50 Plus Club because everyone I've met has been very friendly, caring, and supportive and that means so much to me as a beginning runner. 1. 01/01 MCRRC New Year's Day 5K 39:19 2. 01/07 DCRRC Al Lewis 10M 2:32:39 3. 01/14 MCRRC Shooting Starr 6K 47:45 4. 01/15 HCS Atholton 5K 36:23 5. 02/05 Penguin Pace 5K 40:44 6. 02/11 AS Valentine's Day 5K 40:54 7. 02/26 RRCA Challenge 10M 2:31:18 8. 03/11 St. Patrick’s Day 8K 1:14:11 9. 03/25 Piece of Cake 10K 1:26:58 10. 04/01 Cherry Blossom 10M 2:43:12 11. 04/18 Main Street Mile 11:07 12. 04/21 Springburst 8K 1:10:15 13. 04/26 Firebirds Mile 11:20 14. 04/29 Pike's Peek 10K 1:31:29 15. 05/06 BRRC WDF 5K 40:38 16. 05/13 Run Aware 5K 46:56 17. 05/19 Germantown 5M 1:08:36 ***************************************************************** Michael Cannon ***************************************************************** Mike was happy to enter the Grandmaster ranks.

The last time I did any racing was in high school with my track team. When I moved to Maryland, from Florida, I began weight training and was always looking to incorporate more activity. I started running at a nearby track. I was running and pace walking but preferred the running. I met James Moreland about 15 years ago at Bally’s Gym. We started a walking regimen. I knew he was an avid runner. He ALWAYS filled me in on the races he did, his times and talked to me about coming out to try a race.FINALLY, in May of 2001 I tried my very first Tidal Basin race, finishing in 15:57. I was a bit discouraged with my time but I did manage to improve with time, my best being 14:01. To date, I have run 37 races. James has taken it upon himself to enlist me as a member of his 50 Plus club in hopes that I will accomplish running at least 37 races in ONE YEAR as opposed to spreading them out over a three year period. I have to thank him for pacing me through some tough races in the past and encouraging me to try new ones.
I am amazed, yet grateful, that these 51-year-old legs are allowing me to put in the miles for these races. One race in particular (my longest yet)…the Bell Haven 25K. I DID IT! Yeah, even though I felt like crawling back to my car afterwards. The races are fun & grueling at the same time. The social aspect is always wonderful as well. I have met some interesting people. I want to be running as fast as Walt Washburn when I am 86. 1. ***************************************************************** Monika Bachmann ***************************************************************** Monika has been running for many years.

Started just as a method of losing weight. Found I sort of like it. Or like the community of runners. Or liked the fruit. Or the shirts. Something. Still haven't figured out what. Had a knee rebuilt in 1994, (non-running related) and that limited my exercise options for a while. But, I found I could get back at it. I'm usually the person trying for sympathy before any event. "Oh, if my knee was just a bit stronger, I'd be doing sub- 5's." Sure, I would. On a bike. 1. **************************************************************** Amanda An ***************************************************************** 1. 01/02 John Tyler 10K 51:56 winner 2. 01/07 Al Lewis 10M 1:18:54 3. 01/08 Mighty Medford Freeway 5K 23:09 1st AG 4. 01/15 GPS 8M 66:13 5. 01/16 John Tyler 10K 49:13 6. 02/04 Lewis Memorial 10M 1:23:45 7. 02/05 Penguin Pace 5K 21:34 3rd AG 8. 02/05 Bear Run 4M 29:30 3rd overall 9. 02/11 Mid-Maryland 50K 5:33:25 1st AG 10. 02/12 Squirrelly Tail Twail Wun HM 2:19:50 11. 02/19 HCS Swansfield 5K 22:23 12. 02/20 John Tyler 10K 45:15 winner 13. 02/25 Patuxent Trail 10K 56:11 14. 02/26 RRCA Challenge 10M 1:12:40 15. 03/04 B & A Marathon 3:20:11 16. 03/04 HCS Thunder Hill 2M 18:01 17. 03/10 Chambersburg HM 1:40:44 18. 03/11 Fort Hunt 10K 0:46:59 19. 03/11 HCS Jeffers Hill 15K 1:15:49 1st AG 20. 03/18 Pretty Boy 10K 57:56 21. 03/18 HCS Northfield 5K 23:35 22. 03/24 Northfield 5K 20:47 1st AG 23. 03/24 Bear Crawl 5K 21:13 winner 24. 03/25 White Hall 15K 1:15:02 25. 03/25 W&OD Trail 5K 21:11 winner 26. 03/31 Nikia's Nippy Nor'easter HM 1:44:22 1st AG 27. 04/01 Cherry Pit 10M 1:13:56 3rd AG 28. 04/01 HCS Burleigh Manor 5 mile 38:47 29. 04/07 Brave the Race 10K 44:22 1st AG 30. 04/07 Brave the Race 5K 21:13 winner 31. 04/14 Chuck Pacholkiw Memorial 5K 20:47 1st AG 32. 04/15 Clyde's 10K 43:12 2nd AG 33. 04/18 Main Street Mile 5:50 34. 04/21 Springburst 8K 35:29 winner 35. 04/22 BRRC Gunpowder 5M 46:24 36. 04/22 HCS Longfellow 10K 55:12 37. 04/28 Trail Triple Crown HM 2:05:03 38. 04/28 Trail Triple Crown 10K 56:59 39. 04/28 Trail Triple Crown 5K 27:18 1st AG 40. 04/29 Iron Girl HM 1:44:09 41. 04/29 Thunder Hill 10K 59:50 42. 05/05 Hope for the Homeless 5K 23:26 winner 43. 05/05 Frederick 5K 21:35 1st AG 44. 05/06 LEAD Strong HM 1:40:29 (short course) 45. 05/12 Musical Madness 5K 20:54 1st AG
