If you don't know these people, you should get to know them. The above
list contains the names of people in the Argonne Running Club that have
paid dues in either 1996 or 1997. So if you are looking for someone to
run with (or just to talk running/exercise) this listing may be of some
help.

Unless I have made a major screw-up, everyone on this list should be
getting the newsletter. If you are a paid member and get the newsletter,
but are not on the list, please contact me.

If there are any major errors in this listing, please contact me (Karl
Grimm) at either my email address (b23921.ra.anl.gov) or at my extension
(2-6721).

The Shamrock Trot 5K

On March 17 (St. Patrick\'s day) the Argonne Running Club sponsored a 5K
fun run and 2 mile walk starting at the Argonne pool. Race conditions
were cloudy and about 50 degrees - great weather for exercising. As part
of the St. Patrick theme, the post-race spread consisted of green bagels
(and were they ever green), green cream cheese, green grapes, green
cupcakes and, last but not least, lime-green Gatorade. Thanks to Don
Bohringer for leading the pack on his bicycle and to Laurie Culbert and
Karl Grimm for working the start/finish line.

There were 21 participants in the event. They included: Dick Page (RE),
Jerry Rice (ECT/CS), Rich Lee (ET), Corrie Patterson (TD), Dan Remus
(DOE), Tom Buffington (ASD/APS), Pat Dombrowski (APS/ASD), Maggie Kelly
(CHM), John Schlueter (CHM), Seddon Thomas (CHM), Marcy Gatzke (ESH-HP),
Adam Cohen (ET), Patricia Frankovich (ET), Eric Dallmann (NBL), Jeff
Zebrowski (NBL), Stewart Ansell (MSD), Sherman Smith (ESD), Carol
Wesolowski (IPD-TIS), Antonia Sendra (IPD-TIS), Valerie Gaines
(IPD-TIS), and Maria Elliott (IPD-TIS). Stewart Ansell came across the
finish line first, but we were not recording times.

There was a special prize awarded to the person that wore the most
green. By a unanimous decision of the totally impartial judges, Dan
Remus was the winner of the chocolate cake with green sprinkles. Dan was
in green from head to toe - we were afraid to ask him what he had
underneath his green exterior. In an associated \"pure-luck\" contest,
three participants (Jerry Rice, Tom Buffington, and Maggie Kelly) each
won a \$5 (GREENback) raffle prize. How could a person named Maggie
Kelly not win a raffle prize on St. Patrick\'s Day!!

The running club hopes to see these people, and many others, at our next
event. These social fun-runs are a great place for Argonne
exercise-people to meet others or get re-acquainted with people that
they have not seen in a while. See you there\...

Nutritional Information Available

Don Bohringer has provided the following addresses of web sites which
contain useful information about nutrition. As runners, we put a lot of
physical demands on their bodies. A healthy diet will allow us to
perform more efficiently, and allow our body to recover more rapidly
from the wear and tear we subject it to. Take some time to make use of
the resources to ensure that your body has the nutrients it needs to
stay in peak condition!

Spring Track Workouts Begin

If you are looking to improve your running speed or just want to run
regularly with some runners of your ability, these weekly track workouts
may be what you are looking for. The Argonne Running Club runs with the
North Central Track Club on Wednesday evenings at Naperville Central
High School. This years workouts begin on April 9 and will be held every
Wednesday thereafter starting at 6 PM. Don't think that you have to be a
track star to participate, there are plenty of middle-of-the-pack and
slower runners there. There is no charge to come out and give it a try,
but if you decide to run regularly, we ask that you contribute the \$25
membership fee which helps pay for the use of the track and occasional
parties.

Party for Marty

Final plans have been made for Marty Thomas's retirement party! Anyone
who is interested hearing what Marty has been up to in his new life
after retirement and having a great Italian dinner is encouraged to join
the running club as we say thanks to Marty for all the work he has done
for the running club over the years. The party will be at Maggiano's on
Thursday April 10 at 6 PM. The dinner will include all-you-can-eat
appetizers, salad, pasta, main course, vegetables, and dessert. The cost
will be about \$25/person. Please contact Paul Eident at 2-3579 (CHM
200) by Tuesday, April 8, if you plan to attend.

1040 "Up-All-Night" Trot

The Running Club's April run will be held on Tuesday April 15 at noon at
the Argonne Pool. There will be both a 5 K fun run (not timed) and a 2
mile walk. Refreshments will be provided at the finish. See the flyer
enclosed with this newsletter - hope to see you there!

March Madness

This years March Madness Races were held on Sunday, March 16th in Cary,
IL. For those of you not familiar with these races, there is a 10K and
half marathon, both of which cover quite challenging and hilly courses.
The half marathon has even been dubbed the most challenging on the CARA
Circuit. Although I have heard that in years past the weather has been
sorta iffy for this race, this year the temps were in the mid twenties
and it was a little windy. I was just crazy enough to run the half
marathon this year along with John Schlueter and Mark Colossa. Since
this was my first half marathon, I don\'t have too much to compare it
to, but I thought the race over all was very well done. They had water
stations starting around mile three at pretty even intervals increasing
to nearly every mile for the last five miles or so. The start of the
course was mostly rolling downhills, which meant you had to finish going
uphill for the last three to four miles which was hard, but a good
challenge. There were splits given at miles 1,3,6 and 10 which helped
keep you on track pacewise. For refreshments after the race they had
soft pretzels, bananas, lots of apple cider and water so nothing too
fancy, but the T-shirts are pretty cool. I do suggest this race to
anyone who is up to a good early spring challenge to get them going.

Morning Run in May

The Running Club's May run will be at 7AM on Wednesday May 14^th^. This
will be a social run through the woods beginning at the North Gate trail
head. After the run, we will enjoy orange juice, coffee and bagels
before heading off to work. Hope to see all you early bird runners
there! More details next month.

Attention all Chicago Distance Classic Runners!

The Running Club is encouraging all its members to get out an run at the
Chicago Distance Classic this Summer. This year's race is on Sunday,
July 20 at 7:45 AM. This is a 20k race that is the only Chicago run
listed in Runner's World list of the Top 100 Races in the Country. We
are trying to get enough runners to enter the team competition. You
don't have to be a great runner to join our team. The more runners we
have the better. As incentive, the Running Club will give a \$5 discount
to all members who register through the club (regular fee is \$18). To
get the discount, you must send your entry fee to Aziz Uras (RE, Bldg.
208, 2-5847).

Possible Running Club Lecture

In the February newsletter, I asked for topics that our runners would be
interested in learning more about, so that the Running Club could
consider getting a speaker on that topic. The results are in. The most
popular topic was Nutrition, followed by Injuries, Motivation, Running
Gear, and finally Training. Most people preferred to have the talk over
lunch, although evenings appeared to be OK also. We'll see what we can
do to schedule a speaker.

Quote of the Month

It's unnatural for people to run around city streets unless they are
thieves or victims. It makes people nervous to see someone running. I
know that when I see someone running on my street, my instincts tell me
to let the dog out after him.
