I have been running for about ten years now. 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. Just taking’ one day at a time! |

Ronnie Wong(R)accepting RRCA Award from Irv Newman |
Now 55, 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 New Year Resolution 5K 22:03 2. 01/13 Loch Raven 8 Mile 57:34 1st AG 3. 01/13 HCS Longfellow 2 Mile 15:07 4. 01/20 Bermuda Marathon 3:44:31 2nd AG 5. 02/03 Super Bowl 5K 20:18 1st AG 6. 02/03 Penguin Pace 5K 21:40 1st AG 7. 02/09 AS Valentine's Day 5K 20:42 2nd AG 8. 02/10 HCS Jeffers Hill 10K 45:10 9. 02/17 GW Marathon 3:42:53 2nd AG 10. 02/24 RRCA Challange 10 Mile 70:33 11. 03/02 B & A Marathon 3:28:22 12. 03/02 HCS Longfellow 2M 15:22 13. 03/16 Kelly's St. Patrick 5K 19:56 1st AG 14. 03/30 BRRC 15K 66:32 1st AG 15. 03/30 HCS Elkhorn 10K 48:50 1st AG 16. 04/06 Cherry Blossom 10 Mile 1:13:33 17. 04/13 Orioles Advocates 5K 20:38 18. 04/13 HCS Burleigh Manor 2M 13:11 19. 04/19 Charlottesville Marathon 3:32:44 1st AG 20. 04/27 Oklahoma Marathon 3:31:27 2nd AG 21. 05/03 Frederick 5K 21:03 1st AG 22. 05/04 Frederick Marathon 3:20:19 1st AG 23. 05/04 HCS Swainsfield 5K 26:21 ***************************************************************** Robert Wolhar *****************************************************************

Jay at the 2000 PVTC track meet in Alexandria. |

I started my running career at Peary High School in Rockville in 1980. 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. |

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 trophie, 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 run in Austria, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, and Switzerland. I have run in 1079 races. |

I am the guy who has fifteen (15) different last names (for now). 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. 3 |

Bill Stahr was so glad to join the club. Here he is at a wedding reception from 1996. |

Born in Washington, DC many years ago, life was different growing up. 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.
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. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. ***************************************************************** Beverly Smeby *****************************************************************

My second running career began in 1996 when I woke up in the cardiac unit of Sewickley Hospital. 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. |

I am originally from the Hoosier State of Indiana, but I
do not play much basketball anymore. 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.
Here is a list of my college PR's Now that I am in DC, I enjoy running for the DC Road Runners. While I am not running quite as fast as I did in school, I enjoy meeting other runners, and competition in the area. I recently ran my 1st 1/2 marathon and marathon this fall. I ran 1:12:04 for the Quantico 1/2 marathon, and 2:48:12 for Marine Corp. 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. |

Although I tried my hand at Jr High and HS track
and cross-country, I started serious racing at the age of 29 when I joined the DCRRC.
Currently, my training is aimed more for marathons than for shorter
distances. I enjoy meeting runners and serving the running community,
through local clubs and through racePacket.

I started running races in 1998, although I had been running
for many years before that for fun and exercise. I enjoy
competing in every distance, from 100 meters to marathons
and I am an RRCA certified coach. I have run the Marine
Corps Marathon three times - in 2000, 2002, and 2004.
In 2004, I ran in memory of Sgt. Michael Esposito, 10th MTN,
who had been killed in action in Afghanistan that spring.
In 2005, I became a master. Also in 2005, I took up throwing
for the first time (javelin, shot put, and discus) and started
to learn race walking by attending the PVTC clinics. I entered
my first judged 10,000 meter racewalk at the 2005 PV Games and,
through a total and absolute lack of competitors in my AG in
that (rather grueling, I admit) event, logged a meet record
with a time I am not proud to repeat. In 2006, I added a couple
more of the throwing arts to my repertoire. I did a couple weight
pentathlons in 2006 and 2007, none of them with grand results.
I am interested in duathlon and use run/bike bricks to train in
nice weather, but I haven't actually entered a sanctioned multisport
race yet and I have no immediate plans to do so... yet. In 2008,
I want to focus on running and plan on running some half marathons
and probably a marathon in the fall - but, really, I think I'll
probably be doing mostly 5K races in 2008. I actually have a blog
where I post about running and other random stuff at runfairfax.blogspot.com.
I have yet to make it to 50 races per year, but I do keep trying,
and I really enjoy running with Peter, Christina, Jeanne, Jay,
and the rest of y'all. Since I plan to primarily focus on running at the
expense of other sports in 2008, this may be the year I hit the total.

Lori and Robert mcGill at 2006 Banquet. I have been running races for several years, mostly in New Jersey. I do some races in Pennsylvania and New York State. One race to recommend is the Tri-State Classic 10K in October. You start in the Shop Rite parking lot in Montague, NJ. Very quickly, you enter New York State. Mile markers 1, 2 and 3 are in New York State. You finish in Pennsylvania. Mile markers 4, 5 and 6 are in Pennsylvania. Mile marker 4 is along a road next to the Delaware River in Pennsylvania. |

Have been running consistently since my first completed 5K on 8/3/99 in 41:37 and that was a Herculean effort. The 12/16/06 5K race was my first time ever breaking 30 minutes, 29:45! So I am slow, but I used to be really slow LOL! My projection for 2006 is 42 races, up from 19 races in 2005 and 10-12 races in previous years. I love being married to Robert (since October 2005). He is a real jock and I call myself a jockette in training! |

Born in Lloyd Harbor NY, but educated in the south (University of Virginia) I have lived in Virginia for the last 12 years. 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. |

I am new to the sport and have not been running all that long - a little over two years now. My first race was in Sept 2004 - a 5K as a speed walker. I am 61 years old (DOB: 9/2/45) and enjoy being at my healthiest state. Plus I have met many extraordinary people along the way like Robert Gurtler. I keep looking for new challenges and want to keep diversity in my running program: distance, road and trail. |

I started running back in 1979 as a way to control my
rapidly expanding waistline. I remember starting with a one mile run and gradually
working up to four miles. Running seemed to come naturally and it was fun from the start.
One day while jogging around Crystal city, where I worked at the time, I came upon a race.
I fell into the crowd and asked, "How far are you going?" to which a back-of-the-pack runner
replied, "All the way, I hope". I had to laugh. I found out that the race was the Tidal Basin
3K. Back then, they had both the 3K and a 6K. I ran some of each for several years.
I joined the Westminster Road runners in 1981 and started running with Jim Shank, Frank Schaeffer, Jim Bullock, Art Webster, Dave Lowe, Dave Pabst, and Dave Griffin every Sunday morning. That was good training for me. We always started slowly and ended at race pace after 10 to 20 miles of hills. I ran my first marathon in the autumn of 1981 - the Marine Corps. I went out too fast and walked some, but hung on to finish in 3:13. A month later, I ran the Baltimore Marathon (yes, in Baltimore city) in 3:09. With the rapid improvement, I started thinking about trying to qualify for Boston. A time of 2:50 or better was required to qualify for Boston then. I ran the Gettysburg Marathon in 1982, and really blew it. I think I did the first three miles under a six-minute pace. It's a story often told, how it felt so easy, but then... I think I managed to salvage my respect with a 3:08. That fall I ran the Marine Corps Marathon in 2:53. So close, but oh so far. By 1983, I had a new solution. I turned 40, which allowed me to qualify with another 2:53. I was amazed that I finished within seconds of the previous year. I joined TAC and paid my entry fee for Boston and started my training routine to stay sharp through winter. I think it was February, when I was doing my second ten-miler of the day, that I felt a twinge in my back. I slowed down to a jog but it still hurt, so I ended up walking home. By the time I hobbled into the house, I knew I was not running Boston in 1984. By the way, I did qualify and run Boston much later in 2000 and again in 2002. After being a WRRC member for a few years, I let myself be elected president, then served for the next thirteen years. I did manage to get the club to accept a team of directors so I could share the load. Dave Herlocker, Liuda Galinitis, Chris Reese, and Bob McCubbin all pitched in. There were others too, race directors that adopted races and took care of almost everything. Without them, I would never have survived. I race more now than ever before. I enjoy the 5K distance most, but an occasional ten-mile or half marathon is okay. I used to run about twenty races a year, but last year I joined the 50 plus club. To my surprise, I am running injury free despite the increased number of races. My times are getting better too. Now if I can just lose ten pounds. |

I run actively in many of the races in Howard County. 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). I have not actually tabulated the total number of races I have taken part in until this moment |

I started running seriously at age 24, when my supervisor convinced a bunch of us to sign up for a race. I've been hooked ever since. I like the longer ones now...especially the Columbia Metric Marathon (I was not happy during it, mind you) and the Stonewall Jackson 20-miler. Attached is a non-running picture. I never photograph well, and look angry or sad when I run--even if I am not. (I am the one on the left, not Joan Jett) |
