The kettle is beginning to bubble as things tighten up heading down the homestretch. Publican stalwart Terry McNatt continues to lead with CSU teammate Lorin Obler 19 points back in second, just 6-points up on Mr. Quarterdeck, Mike Norton with Capemate and this year’s dark horse on gilded wings, Joe Navas chewing up points like OJ grabbing sports memorabilia in Vegas.

With Navas placing second at Trail to Ale, McNatt 6th, Norton 8th and Obler 10th, there was a slight budge among the top four. Navas picked up 4 points on McNatt, 8 points on Obler and 6 points on Norton.

The report from Maine Marathon RD Howard Spear that yours truly was seen in a field of dandelions looking up at the stars (and there were no stars) is only partially true. I felt a photographic duty to capture the pain and suffering on the course’s lone dramatic hill while making myself as comfortable as possible. It’s from this vantage point that NER saw Obler go down hard after coming off the bike path and hitting a curb leading to the uphill. Bloodied but unbowed, Lorin continued on, ceding 2-points to Norton yet retaining his No. 2 position in the Standings.

Bridgewater, MA bullet Frank Nelson e-mailed to say he’d be in Portland and entered the Reebok shoe handicap contest but was inexplicably AWOL, thus dropping from the 5th to 9th position. Master runners Paul “The Legend” Hammond and Jimmy Fallon both had strong showings, moving into the 5th and 10th Open positions, respectively. If the Series ended today, crafty Chris Smith – 7th Overall and 3rd Master – would once again (as in 2006) climb to the top Master rung.

While his Thristy Irish Runner teammates lounged in a field looking at the stars somewhere, top Senior Dave Wessman claimed the top 50-59 slot at ‘Trail’ but 2nd Series Senior Brian Byrne is frozen at 11 points (he’s turned 60) with Kevin Sweeney, Tom Kiely and Jim Shope separated by one point below with John Winters (helluva blues guitarist) also in the hunt. (Anyone know Jim Shope? – does his wife have a sub to NER? Someone ask him or we’ll have to drop him like a rock).

Byrne immediately picked up points in the Veteran division so this could be interesting. Dave Cobb ran a great race at Trail, and with Joe Drugan one point back but not showing, this was the equivalent of a knockout punch.

Marshfield RR’s literary lion, Bob Hillman was poleaxed by Maine Hall of Famer Lloyd Slocum in the 70-79 division, and hammerfisted by NER’s 2005 ME 70-79 Runner of the Year John Howe, not to mention gutstomped by rowdy Bob Randall, yet still managed to add to his Series supremacy. Plus, he stayed in Portland Sunday night, along with fallen Publican Guy Barra and we (Michelle LeBrun included) hit Walter’s for dinner and Dock Fore for the Patriots game.

Most valuable player award at the Trail to Ale goes to Shipyard brewmaster Alan Pugsley who manned the taps until the last Publican sauntered out into the sunlight. Runner-up goes to fallen Publican Chris Spinney, a few lbs. over his prime, yet finishing at a 6:22 pace after opening with a 5:40 mile – good enough to get the “weak link” slot on the NER All Star Relay Team to compete at the Cape Cod Marathon this Oct..

Speaking of weak links, NER will be putting aside the daisies and wildflowers, strapping on the brass knucks, shellacking the elbows and lining up at the next Series race – Dave LaBrode’s awe-inspiring Bobby Bell 5-Miler at the Lasting Room Pub in Haverhill on Oct. 7.

Bill Rodgers:

(on his win in 1976)
“For me, the race was pretty intense because I had run in the Olympics,
and New York was a chance to run my best. It was pure fun. I wasn‰Ûªt
that tired; I was in the hunt to win.”

“Back in ‰Ûª76, I didn‰Ûªt actually know what was going to happen, but that
was part of the fun. If you don‰Ûªt have that feeling for the marathon,
then you‰Ûªre going to quit. To me, the best marathoners aren‰Ûªt the track
runners who jump into the marathon distance or the ones who are out to
make money, but it‰Ûªs the ones who really love it.”

“First Avenue is a danger zone because runners can get emotional there.
You can smell the finish line, but it‰Ûªs still too early to really go.
You can drop some of the competition on First Avenue though. New York
is a very strategic marathon, but it‰Ûªs also really hard because there
are so many good runners. But you can‰Ûªt get too excited or emotional
because then you won‰Ûªt win the race.”

Mary Wittenberg:

“The ING New York City Marathon lifts the psyche of the city, and this
is particularly important in the current economic climate. The marathon
inspires, it brings income to the city, and serves as a postcard of
optimism.”

“We expect the economic impact to exceed $220 million this year. We
expect to raise more than $20 million through our official charities,
and approximately $3.9 million just through Team for Kids alone.
Through our Team for Kids running programs, we already have 50,000 kids
running worldwide, and 30,000 in New York City. This year, we plan to
roll out programming in all 50 states.”

“The course really defines the race. We‰Ûªre working on building out the
Harlem miles; we‰Ûªre calling where runners run through Marcus Garvey
Park our Harlem Stadium. Bill Perkins and Robert Jackson are two Harlem
city officials who will run the race this year.”

Maine Track Club stalwart and NER loyalist Mike Brooks is once again pounding the pavement for a worthy cause. Starting at noon on April 22 in Flushing Meadow, NY, Mike will attempt to run 50 miles a day for 10 days on a one-mile loop featuring a scoreboard and lights during the Sri Chinmoy 10-Day Transcendance Run. The event site is at: http://www.srichinmoyraces.org/us/ultras/6-10-day-race/6-10-day-race-2009

From Mike Brooks:

Ten Day Run, 500 mile goal, for Camp Sunshine
 
 On April
22nd I will start a ten day race to raise money for Camp Sunshine. My
goal is to run/walk 500 miles and raise $10,000 so that very sick
children and children with life threatening illnesses and their
families can go to Camp Sunshine.

 I am a 63 year old retired
Auburn firefighter who has raised money in the past for C.S. by running
a 135 mile race across Death Valley in July and doing a 6 day race
completing 320 miles. I have also done several shorter races for Camp
Sunshine. There is no way I could come close to accomplishing my goals
if I was not helping seriously ill children attend Camp Sunshine.
   

Your donations will not only help these children and their families but
will also motivate  me towards my 500 mile goal.  Please donate by
visiting  www.tendaysforsunshine.org or mailing a donation to Camp Sunshine ,35 Acadia Road , Casco, ME 04015 . You can also learn more about Camp Sunshine at WWW.campsunshine.org .

Check out the donation website for more information about the race and how to follow my progress toward my goal.
 I
know these are tough economic times so please be assured that any
amount of your donation will be greatly appreciated and will be very
motivating to me.
    
Thank You, Mike Brooks

real,- BERLIN-MARATHON: Gebrselassie and
Habtamu 

triumph in World Marathon Majors race

The Ethiopian duo of Haile Gebrselassie and
Atsede Habtamu  earned maximum points in the World Marathon Majors (WMM)
rankings with their double success in the real,- BERLIN MARATHON. While
Gebrselassie achieved his fourth victory in a WMM race, Habtamu completed a
dream debut: on her very first appearance in a WMM event she collected 25
points.

The points earned by Gebrselassie and
Habtamu will not have a significant impact on who will be the overall champions
for the current 2008-09 season. Sammy Wanjiru (Kenya) and Irina Mikitenko
(Germany) have built up too big a lead in the rankings. But it’s a
different matter as far as the standings for 2009 ‰ÛÓ 2010 are concerned.

The real,-BERLIN-MARATHON once again lived
up to its reputation for top-class results. Haile Gebrselassie won in 2:06:08
to move up to second in 2008 ‰ÛÓ 2009 rankings. The Kenyan Francis Kiprop
collected 15 points for second place after a world-class run of 2:07:04. Here
in detail is what the leading results from the real,-BERLIN-MARATHON mean in
terms of WMM points:

The Olympic champion Sammy Wanjiru (Kenya)

the maximum total of 75 points from three races and has a clear lead over Dire
Tune (Ethiopia/40) in the women’s competition. Mikitenko is on course to
become the first woman athlete to win a WMM Series twice in succession, having
already won the 2007 ‰ÛÓ 2008 edition.

The damp conditions cancelled the kids hayrides on the
Norwell High School grounds and halfway through the 10K and in the final mile
of the 5K, the heavens opened and torrents of rain pelted the macadam‰ÛÓto the
point where you moved from the crest to the middle of the road and back again
trying to avoid the lake effect. The worst was over quickly, but not for
frontrunning Benjamin Ndaya of Chelmsford. Ndaya had the 10K race (and top
prize $) in the bag before a side stitch started unraveling his stride in the
final mile. Give credit to 23 year-old Ryan Gattoni of East Sandwich, who hung
tough on the scant hope of a misfortune on Ndaya’s part.

As a band played on, the post race crowd gathered under the
Big Top, intent on feasting upon burgers, dogs, chili, fruit, beverages and
various desserts. As usual the awards ceremony went off like a shot (not as
rapid fire as 2008 but still rapid), facilitating the post race party at
McGreals’s Tavern just a mile down the road.

One
high school track & field championship meet created by
trio of partners New Balance, National Scholastic Sports
Foundation and the New Balance Track & Field Center at the Armory

BOSTON – (December 8, 2010) – Global athletic leader New Balance has announced an official multi-year partnership with the National Scholastic Sports Foundation (NSSF) and the New Balance Track & Field Center at the Armory in New York City for the New Balance Indoor Nationals.
The event will bring together the best indoor track and field
high school athletes from across the country for a weekend of
intense competition.

“New Balance is thrilled to partner with the NSSF and the Armory for the New Balance Indoor Nationals,” said Josh Rowe,
marketing manager, running at New Balance. “Serving as an
official sponsor of this event is an effective way for us to
support the high school track and field running community. It
is also very exciting for us to have both the indoor and
outdoor high school track and field national meets under one
New Balance umbrella.”

For
the past decade there have been two indoor national
championship meets, with the National Scholastic Sports Foundation
operating one of the meets, the Indoor Nationals (previously
called the Indoor Classic) since 1999, most recently hosting
it at the Reggie Lewis Sports Complex in Boston. The new three
way partnership of New Balance, the NSSF and the New Balance
Track & Field Center at the Armory combines the two
distinct events into one high school track & field championship
meet at the world’s greatest indoor track and field facility.

“We
are excited to partner with both New Balance and the New
Balance Track & Field Center at the Armory for this meet,”
said meet director Jim Spier. “We recognize the
passion and commitment both entities bring to high school
running and are eager to work together. Now having one indoor
high school championship means that the most talented
student-athletes in the country will be competing head-to-head in one
unified meet, which will bring this event to new unprecedented
levels.”

“We
are delighted that New Balance and the National Scholastic
Sports Foundation have joined to bring a true unified National
High School Championship here to the Armory,” said Armory President
Norb Sander. “It will be a great meet with a wonderful setting for our student-athletes from across the country.”

Similar
to the New Balance Outdoor Nationals, the New Balance Indoor
Nationals event will feature a team scoring element in addition
to the individual championships. Specifically, scoring will award
points to the top 8 places (10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1) in each event.
New Balance will award trophies to the top three boys and
girls teams, for a total of six trophies. New Balance will
also award the top program for each gender with uniforms for
the upcoming 2010-2011 season.

In 2011, the New Balance Indoor Nationals will be held on March 11-13th. For more information, go to: www.nationalscholastic.org
