So it's -- 01:50.677 --> 01:52.812 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60% >>Yeah. So Leah, let,s talk about 01:52.812 --> 01:54.747 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% how you got involved with the club 01:54.747 --> 01:57.517 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% and where you started and what you're doing now. 01:57.517 --> 01:59.786 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% >>Well, I joined the marathon 01:59.786 --> 02:01.988 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and half marathon training program in 2007. 02:01.988 --> 02:03.890 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I was trying to run my first marathon 02:03.890 --> 02:05.125 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% and I started running 02:05.125 --> 02:07.060 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% basically just to stay in shape and lose weight 02:07.060 --> 02:09.262 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and realized I'm kind of decent at this, 02:09.262 --> 02:11.931 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and so I got involved in the training program. 02:11.931 --> 02:14.667 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and if you don't have a coach and a training program, 02:14.667 --> 02:17.070 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% it's very hard to go off the rails and do your own thing 02:17.070 --> 02:18.605 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and think you know what you're doing, 02:18.605 --> 02:21.708 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and I had some good years and bad years and finally in 2012, 02:21.708 --> 02:23.443 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I qualified for Boston for the first time. 02:23.443 --> 02:27.046 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% >>So i think it shows a lot that somebody can join 02:27.046 --> 02:28.915 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% the program not having ever run, 02:28.915 --> 02:29.749 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% ever in their lives 02:29.749 --> 02:31.184 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% >>Right. 02:31.184 --> 02:32.652 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% >>Run their first marathon, it can not go so well, 02:32.652 --> 02:34.087 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and with time and training 02:34.087 --> 02:37.323 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% you can end up running the Boston marathon. 02:37.323 --> 02:39.859 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>So first thing is perceived effort 02:39.859 --> 02:42.862 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and it's based on environment, terrain 02:42.862 --> 02:46.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and how you're feeling and your current fitness level. 02:46.366 --> 02:47.767 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% So if you are running 02:47.767 --> 02:50.737 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and you are pushing it out like that 02:50.737 --> 02:51.804 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% you're going too fast. 02:51.804 --> 02:53.239 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% You need to slow it down. 02:53.239 --> 02:55.441 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% You really want to learn you can almost the zen 02:55.441 --> 02:56.843 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% of your breathing. 02:56.843 --> 02:58.711 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% You getting in touch with yourself 02:58.711 --> 03:00.446 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and getting very comfortable with what 03:00.446 --> 03:01.881 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that breathing pattern is. 03:01.881 --> 03:04.918 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>The best advice is just get into a routine. 03:04.918 --> 03:07.620 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% So you don't have to be fast and you don't have 03:07.620 --> 03:09.255 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% to have a lot of miles all the time 03:09.255 --> 03:12.859 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% but the routine of getting out three or four times a week, 03:12.859 --> 03:14.194 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% you just learn that you feel better, 03:14.194 --> 03:15.728 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% you have more energy, 03:15.728 --> 03:18.198 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and if that's your expectation then it's not quite so hard 03:18.198 --> 03:20.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% to take that first step out the door. 03:20.366 --> 03:24.704 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% >>It's been since '08 that every Saturday morning, 03:24.704 --> 03:26.806 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% I'm running with the group someplace, 03:26.806 --> 03:30.643 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and then Mark gives us his really great personalized plans, 03:30.643 --> 03:33.746 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% so I know how many miles and what kind of pace 03:33.746 --> 03:35.715 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% for the rest of the week. 03:35.715 --> 03:37.550 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>So let's talk about some of the programs 03:37.550 --> 03:40.119 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that are provided through the track. 03:40.119 --> 03:41.588 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Four Miler, Men's Four Miler. 03:41.588 --> 03:43.489 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% >>We start with the Men's Four Miler, Women's Four Miler, 03:43.489 --> 03:46.159 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% which are the pre-elementary, the start 03:46.159 --> 03:48.728 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% people starting out having never run before. 03:48.728 --> 03:52.098 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And then we have the 10-Miler training program, 03:52.098 --> 03:54.601 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% so if you're coming off the couch and 03:54.601 --> 03:56.135 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% you're in program one and we start 03:56.135 --> 03:57.437 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% with what you saw this morning 03:57.437 --> 03:58.938 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% out there in the rain with the guys 03:58.938 --> 04:00.640 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% with the men's four-miler program, 04:00.640 --> 04:03.142 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% it's pretty similar to that starting out program one, 04:03.142 --> 04:05.545 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and program six is an advanced group, 04:05.545 --> 04:07.313 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% experienced, has already run the 10-miler looking 04:07.313 --> 04:08.781 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% to run a faster time. 04:08.781 --> 04:12.285 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And then we have the one that Leah just talked about 04:12.285 --> 04:14.354 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% which I call kind of the PhD program 04:14.354 --> 04:16.723 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and it's the marathon, half-marathon. 04:16.723 --> 04:19.359 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% >>Running the marathon is, 04:19.359 --> 04:22.228 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% unlike anything I'd ever done before. 04:22.228 --> 04:24.063 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% I think the accomplishment in hindsight, 04:24.063 --> 04:26.532 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% was actually getting to the start line. 04:26.532 --> 04:28.334 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% It's an enormous amount of training 04:28.334 --> 04:29.936 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and an enormous amount of time. 04:29.936 --> 04:32.772 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% The best advice I got was to take it mile by mile, 04:32.772 --> 04:34.007 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% and if you do that, 04:34.007 --> 04:35.408 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% and then all of a sudden you're at the finish, 04:35.408 --> 04:36.909 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% and it's just an incredible feeling 04:36.909 --> 04:38.378 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% to cross that finish line. 04:38.378 --> 04:42.148 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% >>One of the really nice things about our Saturday runs is, 04:42.148 --> 04:43.883 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I'm often at the back of the pack, 04:43.883 --> 04:47.086 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I'm not up with the elite runners, 04:47.086 --> 04:51.691 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% but I'm always welcome no matter how fast or how slow I run. 04:51.691 --> 04:53.159 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% >>I've been a member, 04:53.159 --> 04:55.194 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% I've done the 10-miler training program, 04:55.194 --> 04:57.430 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% I've been a captain for the 10-miler training program, 04:57.430 --> 04:59.699 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I volunteer for packet pickup, 04:59.699 --> 05:02.435 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I run all the races and it's a great way 05:02.435 --> 05:07.073 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% to just sort of drop yourself into an immediate friendship. 05:07.073 --> 05:09.909 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>Running and walking are two great activities 05:09.909 --> 05:11.277 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% where you can converse. 05:11.277 --> 05:12.945 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>See and that's when I was younger' 05:12.945 --> 05:14.914 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I was a runner, when I was in high school 05:14.914 --> 05:16.582 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% and I was a good runner, 05:16.582 --> 05:18.785 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% but it was because we could talk. 05:18.785 --> 05:20.586 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Maybe that's why I'm not a good runner anymore. 05:20.586 --> 05:22.855 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I've got no one to talk to. (people laughing) 05:22.855 --> 05:25.091 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% >>And that's the thing. We have people of all abilities 05:25.091 --> 05:27.894 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% and so there are people that I might run with 05:27.894 --> 05:29.162 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% to train with but there are also 05:29.162 --> 05:31.030 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% the people who I've met through running 05:31.030 --> 05:33.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that are slower or faster than me 05:33.433 --> 05:34.834 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that i still am friends with 05:34.834 --> 05:37.337 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% because we have that common interest in running. 05:37.337 --> 05:40.206 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>And tell Terri some of where those friendships 05:40.206 --> 05:42.275 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% form is through volunteering together. 05:42.275 --> 05:45.144 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% >>Like I said it's a co-op, because when you give in 05:45.144 --> 05:46.312 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% and you take out. 05:46.312 --> 05:47.780 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>And you're helping other runners, 05:47.780 --> 05:49.282 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% you're helping a good course, 05:49.282 --> 05:51.017 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and it's a great way to meet people and have fun. 05:51.017 --> 05:53.152 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Everybody who volunteers at any 05:53.152 --> 05:56.923 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% of the races I'm involved with says how much fun it was. 05:56.923 --> 05:58.324 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% >>Name some of these races 05:58.324 --> 06:00.793 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and some of the causes that are benefitting. 06:00.793 --> 06:01.994 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% >>We are used to our big ones, 06:01.994 --> 06:03.496 align:left position:10% line:89%

06:19.846 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% >>Yeah. 06:19.846 --> 06:20.813 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>The new year's day race raises money for 06:20.813 --> 06:22.048 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% the boys and girls club 06:22.048 --> 06:24.650 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that starts off the year in a good place. 06:24.650 --> 06:27.220 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% >>It's interesting the track club is in the background. 06:27.220 --> 06:28.354 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% There's only couple of events 06:28.354 --> 06:29.822 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% that we really pound our chest, 06:29.822 --> 06:30.990 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% but something like the wounded warrior 06:30.990 --> 06:32.959 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% we're there complete support system 06:32.959 --> 06:34.193 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% but behind the scenes, 06:34.193 --> 06:36.496 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and we do get a really big thrill out of again, 06:36.496 --> 06:38.798 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% entertaining and raising money. 06:38.798 --> 06:40.433 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% And most people will admit, 06:40.433 --> 06:42.101 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% they love to go out and footrace. 06:42.101 --> 06:44.971 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% It's social, it's active, it's competitive 06:44.971 --> 06:47.306 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and they continue that ongoing 06:47.306 --> 06:51.210 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% competitive career beyond high school. 06:51.210 --> 06:53.613 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>So, but then you also have track meets. 06:53.613 --> 06:55.948 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>Yes, my favorite event of the year is 06:55.948 --> 06:58.050 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that all-comers summer track meets, 06:58.050 --> 07:01.254 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% but it's at the UVA track and we get kids of all ages 07:01.254 --> 07:03.856 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% and these kids are so excited to be out on the track 07:03.856 --> 07:05.525 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and they get huge smiles on their faces 07:05.525 --> 07:07.927 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and then you get some pretty serious adult runners 07:07.927 --> 07:10.797 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that are trying to run a fast mile 07:10.797 --> 07:13.032 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% or we also have the 5K option. 07:13.032 --> 07:14.200 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% >>We only charge a dollar or two. 07:14.200 --> 07:15.668 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>And for like a dollar or two dollars 07:15.668 --> 07:17.036 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% you can run as many events as you want. 07:17.036 --> 07:19.038 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% All the kids get these ribbons. 07:19.038 --> 07:21.574 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>That is the epicenter, ground zero 07:21.574 --> 07:22.742 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% of the Charlottesville Track Club. 07:22.742 --> 07:24.043 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% So the very first event 07:24.043 --> 07:25.378 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% the Charlottesville Track Club put on 07:25.378 --> 07:26.612 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% was those all-comers meets, 07:26.612 --> 07:28.714 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and I would argue those meets haven't changed 07:29.982 --> 07:30.950 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% they are mantra. 07:30.950 --> 07:32.218 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% >>You're inspiring young people 07:32.218 --> 07:35.054 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% who might one day be olympic runners 07:35.054 --> 07:37.190 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% or just really healthy people. 07:37.190 --> 07:38.391 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>At least a hundred kids every meet. 07:38.391 --> 07:40.660 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>And you have people who came as a kid 07:40.660 --> 07:42.528 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and then they bring their kids. 07:43.396 --> 07:45.998 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% >>And the UVA track is amazing. 07:47.200 --> 07:48.634 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>That relationship with the university 07:48.634 --> 07:50.436 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% has been really special and somewhat unique. 07:50.436 --> 07:52.905 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70% That's the only athletic facility still open to the public. 07:52.905 --> 07:54.640 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% We're lucky to have it. 07:54.640 --> 07:59.245 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% That's a seven million dollar olympic caliber facility. 07:59.245 --> 08:01.848 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>I've been running exactly one week. 08:01.848 --> 08:03.049 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% So far so good. 08:03.049 --> 08:06.285 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% I've ran four or five times this week 08:06.285 --> 08:08.421 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% and today my first mile, 08:08.421 --> 08:11.324 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and so I'm pretty proud of myself. 08:11.324 --> 08:14.827 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I can understand the addiction to running 08:14.827 --> 08:16.496 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and the pleasure that people get out of it. 08:16.496 --> 08:19.198 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% >>I think the best part of the training program is just 08:19.198 --> 08:22.468 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% you're around other people starting out so 08:22.468 --> 08:24.904 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% the day you don't really feel like doing it, 08:24.904 --> 08:26.339 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% there's a little bit of motivation 08:26.339 --> 08:28.407 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% and then it's really easy to see the progress. 08:28.407 --> 08:30.276 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% These guys who started last week. 08:30.276 --> 08:32.478 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% We walked and ran a half mile 08:32.478 --> 08:35.581 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and by early November they'll be ready to run four miles 08:35.581 --> 08:37.183 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and that's quite an accomplishment. 08:37.183 --> 08:40.453 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>As a coach, what's the most important thing? 08:40.453 --> 08:43.356 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% >>For me the relationship with the athlete. 08:43.356 --> 08:44.824 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I say this over and over again. 08:44.824 --> 08:46.759 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Communication between the coach and the athlete, 08:46.759 --> 08:50.997 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and so if you have an achilles issue on a Monday morning, 08:50.997 --> 08:53.332 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I as your coach I can't help you, 08:53.332 --> 08:55.535 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% if you don't tell me about it for ten days 08:55.535 --> 08:56.903 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% when now you're limping. 08:56.903 --> 08:59.171 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% So i think trusting the coach 08:59.171 --> 09:01.607 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and having the open communication. 09:01.607 --> 09:03.009 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>Talk about some of the other things 09:03.009 --> 09:04.277 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% the club is involved in. 09:04.277 --> 09:05.912 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% >>We also have a scholarship program 09:05.912 --> 09:10.917 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% for high school students and we have an awards ceremony 09:12.051 --> 09:13.886 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and a membership party for the people 09:13.886 --> 09:15.321 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that are a part of the club. 09:15.321 --> 09:18.691 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% We like to recognize volunteers and the people 09:18.691 --> 09:21.527 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that have given back to the track club because, 09:21.527 --> 09:22.695 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that's really important we can't do, 09:22.695 --> 09:24.130 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% like we said, we're not paid. 09:24.130 --> 09:26.299 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% We're doing all this because we love the sport 09:26.299 --> 09:28.501 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and we want to help other people. 09:28.501 --> 09:31.304 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>And we hope ultimately that many, 09:31.304 --> 09:33.639 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Leah's a perfect example, of someone who wasn't necessarily 09:33.639 --> 09:35.141 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% a member of the club, got involved 09:35.141 --> 09:36.809 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and now is probably one of the most active members 09:36.809 --> 09:39.712 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% of the club if not the most active giving back person. 09:39.712 --> 09:42.148 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% >>Yeah and so that's the great thing about social media 09:42.148 --> 09:43.883 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% and the internet is that 09:43.883 --> 09:47.520 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% we have over 1600 likes on our Facebook page now. 09:47.520 --> 09:50.323 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% We don't have 1600 members but we have 1600 people 09:50.323 --> 09:52.425 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% who are interested in running in Charlottesville. 09:52.425 --> 09:53.859 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% That's what's important to me. 09:53.859 --> 09:57.129 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Whether you pay your membership dues or not. 09:57.129 --> 10:00.299 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% If you do a race that we run, if you do a training program 10:00.299 --> 10:03.402 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% that we run in your mind you're part of our community 10:03.402 --> 10:05.438 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and that's what I care about. 10:05.438 --> 10:07.139 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% The reason I got involved in helping with 10:07.139 --> 10:09.575 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% the website and all this other stuff is 10:09.575 --> 10:11.744 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% I would notice that the race results from the track meets 10:11.744 --> 10:13.446 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% aren't up yet. I wonder who's doing that. 10:13.446 --> 10:16.282 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I'll do it because it's so important to me. 10:16.282 --> 10:17.883 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% >>If everybody was like that when they got frustrated 10:17.883 --> 10:19.285 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% about something in our community 10:19.285 --> 10:21.454 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and they actually then did something about it, 10:21.454 --> 10:24.156 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% how different the world would be. 10:24.156 --> 10:25.992 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% >>You can go to the website, there's all kinds 10:25.992 --> 10:29.295 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% of information, you can find out when the races are, 10:29.295 --> 10:31.564 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% what the races are, what training is available. 10:31.564 --> 10:34.500 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% >>I always tell people, the ultimate kind of notion 10:34.500 --> 10:37.036 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% or the ultimate kind of label for the track club is 10:37.036 --> 10:39.705 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% we're the ultimate running resource within the community 10:39.705 --> 10:42.942 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and if we're not doing that we're not doing a good job. 10:42.942 --> 10:45.077 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% We have talks and lectures, 10:46.145 --> 10:48.547 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and we go from kids to masters. 10:48.547 --> 10:50.816 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Our oldest members are in their mid-eighties 10:50.816 --> 10:53.753 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and our youngest kids this summer were three years old, 10:53.753 --> 10:54.587 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% two years old running. 10:54.587 --> 10:56.088 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% >>That's great. 10:56.088 --> 10:58.858 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% >>It was a little more elite oriented back in the seventies. 10:58.858 --> 11:00.893 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% If someone was to say what's the biggest difference. 11:00.893 --> 11:04.430 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Most of the membership back in the seventies, 11:04.430 --> 11:07.033 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% they had already had an accomplished competitive background. 11:07.033 --> 11:07.967 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50% >>Right. 11:07.967 --> 11:09.935 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% >>And today the complexion 11:09.935 --> 11:11.404 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% of the club is dramatically different. 11:11.404 --> 11:14.674 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% We do still have that person but we also, 11:14.674 --> 11:19.111 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% many of our members had never run before in their life 11:19.111 --> 11:20.646 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% let alone years ago. 11:21.681 --> 11:22.815 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% >>It's a great... 11:22.815 --> 11:24.250 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>Very very welcoming organization. 11:24.250 --> 11:26.986 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% >>Great resource and a wonderful part of our community 11:26.986 --> 11:29.922 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and I thank you all for spending time with me today 11:29.922 --> 11:31.123 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% especially in the rain. 11:31.123 --> 11:33.359 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>Thanks for taking the time, Terri. 11:33.359 --> 11:36.495 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% >>The hardest part about running is just making time for it 11:36.495 --> 11:40.032 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and especially when you're slow like me 11:40.032 --> 11:41.767 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and you're an eleven minute mile runner 11:41.767 --> 11:45.871 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% to go out and run ten miles is a big time commitment. 11:45.871 --> 11:48.007 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% You squeeze it in where you can and I find 11:48.007 --> 11:51.210 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that 5:30 in the morning is sort of the time 11:51.210 --> 11:53.946 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that's always available so it's not too bad. 11:53.946 --> 11:57.483 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% >>Running in general feels good.
