Runners Come From All Over For Local Marathon

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Runners from all over Maryland and the U.S. came together on a beautiful Sunday morning last weekend in Piney Point to run the fourth annual Lower Potomac River Marathon. The race was open to 300 runners, about a third of which came from Maryland and 70 from Virginia. In total, there were 37 states represented and seven foreign countries, including Canada, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Kenya and Puerto Rico. I conceived this race in 2005 and have been running it since then, said race director Liza Recto. We have several people who will be running for their third year, some of them local, some not. One of those returning runners was defending champion John Piggot, 41, from Williamsburg, Va. Piggot extended his title of defending champion by winning the race for the third consecutive time and breaking his previous course record (2:37:22) in a time of 2:33:05. Piggot beat second place runner, Johnathan Krupa, 31, of Fitchburg, Wis. by seven minutes. I mainly just stayed focused the whole entire race, Piggot said. I mean there was nobody right there with me. Around mile 20, I said I was going to pick it up, and I did. I probably went down to five [minute mile] pace. Krupa was running his first marathon in three years after returning from a serious back surgery, which doctors said would end his running career. For the first 14 miles of the race, Piggot was paced by relay-runner, Andrew Gallo, but once Gallo moved aside, it was up to Piggot to do all the work. After [Gallo] dropped off. I started going, probably clicking off somewhere around 5:50 [miles] and just kept pushing it from there. Once I got to [mile] 20, really at 19, when we made the turnaround, I mean I knew the race mostly was mine. It was just the point of staying focused. Once I got to [mile] 20, I just started picking it up. Piggot first came to compete in the Lower Potomac Marathon when Recto extended an invitation. He has won it every year and says he will return until somebody can take it away from me. He has been running for about twenty years and competing in marathons for the last 10, racing approximately 10 per year. Im 41. Im the old guy, he joked. Still, he has been able to win most of the masters categories and hopes to break his personal record of 2:30 this year. Right now, its going pretty good, he said. It looks like I might get it, but you never know. I just want to do good this year, thats all. Like many other runners who took part in the Lower Potomac River Marathon - which goes down Route 249 in Piney Point, across the short arched bridge to St. George Island, down Lighthouse Road and Batmans Head before looping around for the finish Piggot comes back for the beautiful scenery that the course provides. When you go around the little neighborhood thats by the water, aw man, thats beautiful. I love that. I love that, he said. Victor Papagano, the first Chesapeake Bay Runners Club finisher, said the course was top-notch. There couldnt be a better one to run, he said just minutes after finishing 18th overall in a See Marathon page B-4

In their most recent game, they lost another close one against Villa Julie College, 10-8. Junior Pat Oliphant has tallied 11 goals and three assists in just four games, while junior Cyrus Albertson has 10 goals and six assists.

When it Comes to Nordic Walking, Four Legs Are Better Than Two
For years, professional athletes and non-athletes alike have relied upon cross-country skiing to build stamina, muscle strength, cardiovascular health, and improve the overall tone of the body. In the 20th century, cross-country skiing athletes in Finland developed an idea that could replicate the motions and benefits of cross-country skiing . without the snow. They used this form of exercise to train in the summer. Eventually an enterprising Scandinavian company marketed the idea to a broad spectrum of athletes -calling the exercise Nordic Walking - and a new training routine was born. Nordic Walking, which involves the use of speciallydesigned poles held in each hand, quickly caught on in the fitness world, but also appealed to regular folks looking for a low-impact, but effective workout. Today, LEKI, the worlds leading maker of skiing, hiking and Nordic Walking poles has teamed up with the Wacoal Sports Science Corporation, makers of CW-X Conditioning Wear, to bring Nordic Walking to people looking to enhance their walking regimen or kick-start a fitness program. enhancing benefits of Nordic Walking. Health-care professionals say Nordic Walking is a viable low-impact solution for those who can no longer take the steady pounding of running or jogging, but desire similar benefits. Even runners use Nordic Walking as a cross-training tool to develop their upper body, and also during rehab from an injury.

GETTING STARTED
Nordic Walking is quickly becoming the hottest exercise around. But to reap the benefits, its important to follow some key techniques: Start with the right equipment. Companies like LEKI USA make poles that feature adjustable and fixed length models, quick-release Trigger straps, four different types of removable rubber tips (including studded rubber), carbide tips, and aluminum and carbon construction. Nordic Walking is a simple enhancement of normal arm swing when walking. The pole tips remain behind, pointing diagonally backwards at all times. Holding the grip lightly, the hand swings forward from the shoulder to allow the rubber tip to meet the ground or pavement. The hands are opened slightly to allow the poles to swing forward - the poles are not gripped, but swing from the wrist straps. This exercise is best engaged wearing workout apparel that supports the joints, ligaments and tendons, like CW-X Conditioning Wear, which also wicks moisture from the skin, keeping the body dry and comfortable. To start experiencing the health and fitness benefits of Nordic Walking, and to learn more about purchasing the right clothing and equipment, visit www.leki.com and www. cw-x.com. The American Nordic Walking Association also has handy information at www.anwa.us.

BENEFITS TO GOING NORDIC

Nordic Walking takes fitness walking to the next level by building postural endurance, upper and lower body strength, and aerobic capacity. Walkers use poles to engage the upper body and redistribute weight bearing to the lower extremity, which increases the cardiovascular benefits and caloric demands of walking. A study by the Cooper Institute in Dallas, showed that walking with poles burned more calories, increased oxygen consumption, and can be up to 46 percent more efficient than normal walking. Whats more, walking with poles as little as 30 minutes a day, three times a week, can help lower blood pressure, increase oxygen consumption by 25 percent, reduce cholesterol, and help to relieve back, shoulder and neck pain. Any person of any age can benefit from the health

Let The Madness Begin

why its madness, and thats why we love it. Every team becomes your team, whether its for one game or the entire tournament. You can watch the most insignificant game as if youd been waiting your entire life for it. Well, maybe its just me. Ive certainly done my fair share of worthless research. I picked Ohio State to win, dont ask me why. I have Oregon beating Florida to go to the Final Four, dont ask me why. I have Louisville, a sixseed, going to the Elite Eight, dont ask me why. The bottom line is, I have no idea. I can only guess. I did my research and compared as many teams as I could and made a somewhat educated guess. But when it all boils down, and when the ref throws the ball in the air for opening tip-off, you can throw all the analysis out the window. Ive heard of people picking their bracket based on team colors or mascots and they end up winning their pool. Maybe thats what I should have done. I asked a friend yesterday (who doesnt even know what teams are in the tourna-

ment) who would win it all, and her answer was North Carolina? Come April 2, Ill probably be kicking myself for not picking the Tar Heels. Actually, Ill be kicking myself a lot sooner than that; when Oregon gets booted in the first round or when Ohio State gets upset early. Oh well. I had fun filling out the bracket and Ill have even more fun tearing it to pieces when all my teams lose. I dont have the answer key, I only have guesses, so laugh it up if you want yours aint any better.

Acceleration is superb as the Murano is capable of running a 15.6 sec. mile thats not too shabby when you take into account its 4,000 pound curb weight. This acceleration is paired with Nissans incredibly smooth Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) to make for a very enjoyable ride. Though it is offered in AWD, this is by no means a vehicle I would want to take off-roading. It handles itself well in a few inches of mud or

snow but as with most SUVs would be limited by its ground clearance over even moderately rough terrain. So if youre looking for something to beat around then I suggest either getting a pick-up truck or forking out the extra dough for a Land Rover.

Marathon
Continued from page B-1 time of 3:21:19. When you go out and run 20-mile runs to prepare for something like this, you just want to find a beautiful place to run and get out there and enjoy it. For some, strong gusts of wind made the race more difficult mentally and physically. It was not easy, said 31-year old Jennifer Lash, of New York City. Still, she managed to place first among all female runners with a time of 3:24:05. From anytime we were going north, it was just so windy it was making it much more difficult to do good timing. Lash said. But the moment we turned around, it was a totally different story. Im very pleased that I was able to finish. Lash said she had the advantage of drafting behind several male runners throughout the race. It was wonderful to be behind a few guys that were helping me with the wind for the first 10 miles, nine miles. The Lower Potomac Marathon was Lashs 17th total, and when asked what made her come to St. Marys County from New York City, she joked: Well, I heard there was a great buffet. In reality, Lash has a goal of running a marathon in all 50 states, and this was one of them on my list, she said. While winds were strong, it didnt seem to bother some runners. Papagano said the wind only hit during early parts of the race, and the beautiful scenery helped take his mind off the weather conditions. It couldnt be a more perfectly laid out course because you have nothing but good scenery, you glide through the first half, you go over and back over the bridge and then you get to the lighthouse, theres not a lot of wind over there, Papagano said. The weather couldnt have been more perfect, too nice and cool. Coming back, theres a wind at your back, so that actually helps you on the hills. The beautiful scenery (and delicious buffet) attracted so many runners this year that Recto was forced to close registration at 300. But some runners, such as Hajime Nishi, made sure to sign up early so they did not miss the race. Nishi is an ecomarathoner from Japan, who ran the inaugural race and joined the crowds again this year, according to Recto. Hes not about speed, but hes finished 500 plus marathons around the world. He rates each marathon on its environmental friendliness. Papagano, on the other hand, rates his marathon experiences on overall friendliness, and in that category, the Lower Potomac River Marathon takes the prize, he said. I couldnt think of a friendlier place to run. Richmond says it has the friendliest marathon in the country. I think this one is definitely nicer than that.

Be Kind to All Animals: Report Abuse

Cruelty to animals is something most people simply cannot tolerate. Whether its an animal you know or just one you see often and feel might be the victim, witnessing animal abuse puts a person in a precarious position, as many might feel theres little, if anything, they can do. Fortunately, thats not the case. Since a lot of folks feel as though cruelty to animals is on a par with cruelty to children, there are laws that prohibit abusing animals. For those who think they might have been witness to animal abuse, the following steps should be taken when having thoughts of turning someone in to the authorities. Know the laws. What you might define as abuse might not necessarily coincide with what legislators defined as abuse when they wrote animal cruelty laws. Reporting someone for something thats not against the law could only make things worse for the animal, as a potentially abusive owner could grow even more so if he feels someone is intruding on his privacy. Besides speaking up, the most important thing to do is know the law. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) Web site (www.hsus. org) provides information on each states animal cruelty laws as well as any pending legislation. In addition to that, HSUS provides information as to whom you can contact should your research confirm that what you saw can be legally defined as animal cruelty. Document incidents. Providing proof of child abuse can often be difficult, and doing the same for animal abuse is often more so. Since animals cant speak for themselves, they need someone to speak for them. If youre considering reporting animal abuse, then that spokesperson is now you. Whenever you witness animal cruelty, be sure to write down what exactly happened and when. If possible, photograph anything you see. Do so carefully, however, as you never know how volatile someone who abuses animals can be if they see you snapping photos of them. Something that could help substantially is to involve others who might be witnesses as well. A he said, she said situation where its you against the animal owner might not situation. Be careful. Studies have shown that children who are abusive to animals often grow up to be abusive to people. In addition, adults who abuse animals may have little problem getting violent with other adults. This makes the process of reporting animal cruelty a bit more delicate, as youll want to ensure your own safety as well as the animals. Dont take matters into your own hands and confront an individual; leave this up to an animal care officer or the police. As far as personal protection, once you file a report, Whether theyre feathered or furry, your name is now attached animal care should be taken seri- to the case, so beware of any ously, so report any abuse you may possible retribution.

Sadly, an animal from an abusive many a yarn has been spun hold up, so the more witnesses you can get, the more likely youll be to save the animal from an abusive situation. Understand what reporting means for you. If youre about to report a possible case

about bureaucratic neglect when it comes to abuse, be it child or animal abuse. While the majority of officials take their jobs seriously, not all of them do. If local officials appear to be dragging their feet or taking a case you feel strongly about lightly, dont hesitate to go above them. Write a congressman, or perhaps even contact local media officials, such as your local newspaper or local television station.

In addition to media outlets, organizations such as HSUS and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) exist for the express reason of protecting animals from harm or abuse. Should any of your efforts with local officials fall short, attempt to contact either of those organizations, which can be found on the Internet at www.hsus. org or www.peta-online.org.

Preparation Is Key to SAT Success

For high school students preparing for college, the SAT is undoubtedly the most important test they will take. Americas colleges regard the test as the most researched and respected test in the admissions process. All college-bound students should take the SAT because it increases your chances of getting into, and could even help you gain acceptance into colleges you previously would not have considered or qualified for, said Jim Montoya, Vice President of Higher Education Assessments at the College Board, a not-for-profit association that administers the test. It opens the door to more options and opportunities. With a seemingly endless array of test preparation i n f o r m a t i o n available, students can feel b o m b a r d e d with options. But preparation doesnt have to be a hassle. Montoya says students should prepare for the test as early as possible and take the preliminary SAT, known as the PSAT/ NMSQT, during their sophomore or junior year. Students also should f a m i l i a r i z e t h e m s e l v e s with the test by taking practice tests. The College Board SAT Readiness Program offers free or low-cost materials to students preparing for the exam, including actual test questions from previous years. The program even offers a free SAT question each day for practice. I practiced on all the old official SATs, so when test day came, I was so comfortable, it was like second-nature to me, said Darlene Roygulchareon, a high school senior who was accepted to her first choice, The University of Maryland. The College Board SAT Readiness program provides test-taking suggestions like answering easier questions first and not rushing to answer every question. Since wrong answers in the multiple choice sections lower your score, a better strategy is to omit questions that you dont know the answer to. Being mentally ready for the test is also important. A good nights sleep, knowing the best route to the test center and having all your materials ready the day before can make test day run smoothly. While the SAT is important, students need to keep the test in perspective, which is what colleges do. Colleges look at your overall record - high school grades, extracurricular activities, teacher recommendations, essays and other materials you submit in the application process, so dont put too much undue pressure on yourself with the SAT, Montoya said. Be sure to check registration dates and register on time at www.collegeboard.com
