Before The Race

Boston Marathon

By Phillip Dow
 

This year the Boston Marathon was one of the hottest on record; and the results from the race showed. I know mine did! When planning my build up to the race I was looking for a 3:15-3:20 overall time thanks to Ed Crum who told me I should really try and set a Boston PR this year. Maybe if better conditions allowed; but it was not to be. With a time of 3:39 and my Finisher Medal in hand I was one happy marathoner.

This is a free spring training program/classes and is open to the public. It is organized by the Running Club to ready walkers to become runners and help returning runners get back on their feet.

 

This transition happens over an 8 week program where we take walkers and returning runners and bring them slowly up to the 5K or 3-mile distance. At the end of the program we will attend one of the area 5K races.

Clearing Up the Ice Versus Heat Mystery

By Marybeth Crane, MS, DPM, FACFAS, CWS
 

 

 

Ice versus heat? This is a common question a lot of athletes, coming into my Grapevine, Texas office, ask. Most understand that ice immediately after injury is very important. The questions usually revolve around when to use heat. There are some basic guidelines that every athlete can use to reduce confusion.

Knee Woes From Running: Ilotibial Band Syndrome

Knee Woes From Running: Iliotibial Band Syndrome

By Marybeth Crane, MS, DPM, FACFAS, CWS
 

 

 

 

I had a great question this weekend at a running forum in Grapevine. One of the runners had lateral knee pain that came and went with no obvious cause. She thought she had ITB (iliotibial band) syndrome (sounded like symptoms her friend told her about) but she had been doing stretching and icing with no avail. What else could she do? Is it possibly from her shoes? Is rest enough? Let's talk about ITB syndrome.

I consider myself as a beginner when it comes to running.  I have never ran a race;  well not completely anyway.  Once I am able to run a half-marathon without stopping, I will stop calling myself a 'beginner'.

Perseverance
By Doug Mayfield

My first run with the Striders had me grouped with some guys... little did I know they were doing 6 miles of hills! Needless to say, I had to walk some of it and was cooked by the end of the run... did I mention this was also in late June! Well, that little running bug that everyone else possessed jumped on me and I went back for more...

Kelly's First Marathon

2011 White Rock Marathon

 

By Kelly Trammell Rouse

Published on Jan 1, 2012.

 

 

My running career started out in March of 2010. The goal was to lose weight I had put on during my pregnancy and kept for nearly 2 years afterwards. I didn't join the group right away. I was barely able to run a mile without having to stop and walk. So I worked my way up to a 5k and in May started running with The Arlington Striders. I really did not have a distance goal in mind. The one thing I did have in mind was finding other runners to motivate and keep me running on a regular basis.

Published on Jan 1, 2012.

 

December 4, 2011 was my third time to run the White Rock Marathon. I can honestly say I trained hard for it and although the conditions were not ideal, I enjoyed the run immensely. Coach Troy gave me a training plan to follow. His plan focused on running in a different way than previously with track, hills, long runs, easy and rest days.

I ran the Jog'r Egg Nog'r 5K in Dallas on December 17th and finally ran under 20 minutes. OMG It was about time. My 1st mile was under 6 minutes so I thought the mile markers were off until I approached mile 2. I thought "wow this is going to be a great day". Anyway my pace ended up being 6:18 per mile. That's a PR since my college track days. I wish I could run what I was running in college. Oh well, I'm too old.

I just began running this year. I have been doing it in baby steps. In January I ran a 5K. It took me 41 minutes. My next run was in October and I ran a 5K in 35 minutes. I was so very excited and proud of myself! I still didn't consider myself a "runner" so I still haven't been to any of The Arlington Striders group runs. Even so, I follow all the messages from club members. I wish I could run with the REAL runners.

Arlington Striders - Interlochen Christmas Fun Run

Interlochen Christmas Lights Run

Published on Jan 1, 2012

 

 

Usually a quiet part of town which draws very little attention, Arlington's Interlochen neighborhood draws a huge crowd every year in December. It is estimated, by news stories, that nearly 40,000 people drive through this unique residential area in order to view Christmas lights. The houses were decked to the halls with so many bright lights and displays that they lit up the night.
