By: David Levin (@davidlevin71)
After sitting back and sifting through comments and stories about Cecil Shorts and the statements he made after the Jaguars' 27-14 loss at home to the Cardinals, I have to say part of me agrees with him and part of me wants him to shut up.
As a man and an athlete, I respect the fact the one thing that has been consistent with this team over the last two seasons besides Josh Scobee has been the pass catching of No. 87. As a leader on the team and the only man on offense to be able to say he has been productive - maybe the Mt. Union product has a real beef.
"What I said was what I said. I just want to help my team get better and improve. I'm not trying to start anything. I'm not that type of guy. I'm not that person. I just want to help my team. I'm a competitor. That's all I'm trying to do."
Shorts was obviously unpleased with the way things turned out on Sunday, but in retrospect, how can he not be after two subpar games where he had only four receptions. If there are issues with quarterback Chad Henne or offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch, they must be addressed on the quick. Even in the loss on Sunday, the Jaguars showed more life in the passing game - with the tight ends and Ace Sanders playing prominent roles in moving the chains. One would expect against the Texans, a team that has one of the best defenses in the NFL, Shorts will have his name called plenty this coming week.
The wide receiver position has been one of constant trouble and heartache for this franchise. Starting with Andre Rison and R Jay Soward to Jimmy Smith and Justin Blackmon, the one constant the Jaguars could depend on at the position besides Keenan McCardell has been Shorts.
Who knew Gene Smith would actually hit on a player in the draft and a small school player at that?
"I just know I want to help the team win," Shorts said in Monday's interview on Jaguars.com. "That's my biggest thing, to help the team improve and get better. I feel like I can do that by getting the ball. However they want to do it – we'll figure out a way to make it happen."
The words seem sincere, but he will have to show he really means it after an outburst like one on Sunday. If Shorts shuts his mouth, goes out and catches 10 passes for 130 yards and a score or two, then all is forgiven. If Shorts goes out there and plays his normal game and has only three catches, then (no pun intended), Houston, we have a problem.
For some reason, I believe his sincerity and hope he will help this team more than hurt it.

Summerville Medical Center Expansion

- Summerville Medical Center Expansion
SMC Plans $26 million addition
Summerville Medical Center began as a "bedless" facility in 1989, one of the first of its kind in the country, offering outpatient services such as rehabilitation, urgent care and diagnostic imaging. Since that time, the facility has grown into a full-service community hospital offering a broad range of specialties.
Twenty-two years later, Summerville Medical Center is meeting the needs of the community with a new expansion. The project will lay the foundation for future development of services as the community continues to grow. Plans include a three-story patient tower that will be connected to the existing hospital on each level. Mindful consideration is being used in the design and planning in order to prevent disruption to patients who are hospitalized during construction.
Our Services
Summerville Medical Center will be adding the following services with the 30 bed expansion:
- Addition of eight-bed critical care step down unit
- 18 semi-private rooms will become private rooms
- Addition of 22 med-surg beds
- Expansion of labor and delivery rooms
"The expansion will allow us to address the capacity constraints that we expect to see in the future as the health care needs of Summerville and Dorchester County continue to increase."
-Louis Caputo, CEO of Summerville Medical Center

Whether you own a Marriott timeshare or are looking to purchase one in the future, it's important to have an accurate understanding of your annual Marriott Vacation Club dues. After all, when it comes to money, no one likes surprises. But before we dive into an explanation about the annual costs associated with your ownership, let us first clarify some terms for you.
When people talk about Marriott Vacation Club fees, they are typically referring to different the line items listed on their annual dues bill each year. These fees will vary; however, you will usually see an amount representing your annual maintenance fee. It is also common to see line items for expenses such as property taxes, admistrative costs and future reserve funds, which are listed separately in order to clarify how your Marriott Vacation Club annual dues are distributed.
Curious about how your annual dues are determined? Want to know when to expect your maintenance bill, and when it will be due? How about what's included in the bill? This section breaks down the how, when, what and why of annual fees for weeks owners.
As a Marriott timeshare week(s) owner, your annual dues are based upon the following two key factors:
|Marriott Streamside at Vail – Annual Dues
|Marriott Streamside – Evergreen
|Annual dues are calculated based on unit type only.
|Marriott Streamside – Birch
|Annual dues are calculated based on the specific unit number and week number to which an owner is deeded.
|Marriott Streamside – Douglas
|Owners are all billed the same annual dues regardless of what unit type or season they own.
In addition to covering the cost of updates, repairs and maintenance needs which may occur at your resort within a given year, a portion of your Marriott Vacation Club dues are put into a reserve fund, which is set aside for projected/unexpected future maintenance needs. Unless you own at a resort in California, the property taxes associated with your week(s) will be included in the total amount reflected on your annual bill from Marriott. Weeks owners of resorts located in California will receive a separate tax bill directly from the county.
Depending on where you own Marriott timeshare, you may an additional fee listed on your annual dues bill, such as in the following cases:
*Fees are subject to change per resort policies.
Most resorts will send you the bill for your annual dues between November and December of a given year, and it is due in January of the subsequent year.

Tim Tebows brother rubbing it in after Broncos loss to Ravens
A year and one week ago, Tim Tebows pass to Demaryius Thomas gave the Broncos a playoff victory over Pittsburgh. But the QB was jettisoned in the offseason in favor of Peyton Manning in Denver.
Live and let live until Saturday.
After the Broncos upset loss to the Ravens in Denver, Tebows older brother Peter, a minister in Colorado, sent out this tweet:
Peter Tebow @petertebow Am I the only one in Denver who's happy right now?
Then, a few minutes later, Peter Tebow re-tweeted this quote: Thats karma, Elway.

Yoshimura RS4 Exhaust System
The work that went into developing the RS-4 muffler design paid big dividends in 2010 with Ryan Dungey winning the AMA 450 Supercross and Motocross Championship series as a rookie in the same year, and again in 2012 with the Yoshimura-backed GEICO Honda team winning both 250 Supercross Lites titles. That same R&D has been directed to developing the current generation RS-4 — a unique design that provides an unrivaled combination of power and a quiet exhaust note. The RS-4 features a Polyresonant duplex chamber, a two-staged stepped baffle and an innovative carbon cone end cap.
Note: Please check local laws before purchasing a Yoshimura Exhaust. Some modifications may be prohibited in some states.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- Grand Rapids Police and the Kent County Health Department are investigating claims by an HIV-positive man that he intentionally tried to spread the virus to as many people as he could.
The man reportedly told authorities he injected drugs and had unprotected sex without informing his partners of his HIV status. Authorities say hundreds of people may have been exposed to HIV.
Police say David Smith, 51, made statements that suggested his activities may have included people from outside of the area, including individuals he met over the internet. The man is currently being held in the Kent County Jail, charged with one count of "AIDS - sexual penetration with uninformed partner" (failing to disclose HIV status).
Health department officials say their counselors are taking this health threat seriously. They are aggressively investigating the allegations, tracking down potential victims and encouraging HIV testing for any individuals who believe they may have been exposed to the suspect.
While the threat of transmission varies based on the activity, the health department says this is still an extremely serious public health concern.
Anyone who is concerned should immediately have his or her HIV status tested. The Kent County Health Department provides quick, safe, anonymous and confidential testing. You can call its Personal Health Services Clinic at (616) 632-7171 for more information.

Independent development foundry, SVTC Technologies, based in San Jose, California has said that it has successfully completed solar cell design-to-commercialization milestones for five initial customers. In previous public announcements, Bloo Solar and JA Solar were said to be collaborating with SVTC as well as equipment supplier Roth & Rau. SVTC is well known in the semiconductor industry and branched out into the solar field in April, 2008. The new division is called SVTC Solar.
"Each customer's requirements represented a novel and complex cell design that required our engineers to modify their standard approach, but in each case a highly successful outcome was achieved," said Mike Moore, Vice President and General Manager, SVTC Solar.
Recently, Bloo Solar, said that by partnering with SVTC, they had been able to develop a solid technology baseline that is now entering commercialization, which had been developed over the last three years.
SVTC's development model is said to ensure customer ownership of IP developed using SVTC's services.

So recently, Enzo had about 3 weeks off from real dressage work. The first week, we did a lot of work on my position and strength while doing fun things for him (trips to the field, trail rides, pole work/cavalettis, bareback, etc.). It was really good for him, mentally. And he got a week off (advised by my trainer) after that. When I got back, we began slowly again. So this past week I've started asking more out of him again. Here are some pictures from our ride on Friday. I'm not really looking for a straight forward critique, but I would love to hear what people think and how to improve! We've only just begun dressage and are competing in Beginner Novice eventing. I know that (by no means) are we good, but I believe he is finally starting to get the muscle built up for proper dressage work.

And as a side note, today a new farrier (for those who remember, the same farrier that met us at a gas station to put a shoe on in an "emergency" situation) came to work on his front feet. (We were extremely disappointed by our old farrier when he consistently left Enzo's toes very long and the angles and amount of heel were completely uneven.) Our new farrier has worked wonders! His feet look ten times better, but still aren't perfect. This farrier believes that in 2 or 3 more visits everything should be right as rain. I'm hoping that this will improve his gaits (he had been a forger and a tripper lately).
And for a laugh, I arrived at the barn on Saturday telling my friend that I had never been bucked off. I rode bareback for a bit and then saddled Enzo to do some real work. After a great ride, I decided to do some things at the walk while Enzo was cooling out, like "Around the World"s, side saddle, and laying out across his back. In a moment of impulse (and stupidity), I eased myself back behind the saddle, very gently mind you, and all of a sudden, Enzo starting bucking. And needless to say I was tossed off his butt and slung to the ground. I'm fine and I don't blame Enzo - not at all! I got what I deserved and I've been more mindful of his back since then. Anyway, now I can say I have been bucked off in a very unique way.

If women have one big gripe about wedding dress shopping, it's that it seems a bit impractical and unreasonable to drop a ton of cash on an item that you're only going to wear one time. Wedding gowns aren't exactly items that you want to wear on any other occasion; most of the time, they just don't seem appropriate for anything else.
The key word there? Most. We perused the overwhelmingly dense wedding market and came up with 11 dresses (well, one of them's an awesome jumpsuit) you would absolutely want to wear again after your big day.
Scroll down to start making your post-wedding sartorial plans!

Washington — Members of Congress, officials from U.S federal and state agencies and nongovernment organizations joined partners from across North America on March 21 to celebrate 25 years of innovative partnerships for bird and habitat conservation known as Migratory Bird Joint Ventures.
These joint ventures were designed to stem the dramatic loss of waterfowl. By 1985, waterfowl populations had plunged to record lows, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Historical data, USFWS said, indicated that since the first settlers arrived, 53 percent of the original 221 million wetland acres (89.4 million hectares) found in the contiguous United States had been destroyed. The habitat that waterfowl depend on for survival was disappearing at a rate of 60 acres (24.2 hectares) per hour. The picture was the same across Canada, where wetland losses were estimated to be 29 percent to 71 percent since settlement.
Recognizing the importance of waterfowl and wetlands to North Americans and the need for international cooperation to help in the recovery of a shared resource, the U.S. and Canadian governments developed a strategy to restore waterfowl populations through habitat protection, restoration and enhancement. The strategy was documented in the North American Waterfowl Management Plan signed in 1986 by the Canadian minister of the environment and the U.S. secretary of the interior. With its update in 1994, Mexico became a signatory to the plan.
Since the plan was signed in 1986, joint ventures have emerged as the international model for partnership-driven conservation. Joint ventures bring together private landowners, hunters, birdwatchers, tribes, nonprofit organizations, universities, government agencies and industry to cooperate in the planning and implementation of projects to conserve and enhance bird habitat.
Starting with just three joint ventures in 1987, more than two dozen now cover the North American landscape from the far northwestern boreal forest of Canada to the Florida Keys and into Mexico. Guided by the bird conservation initiatives, joint ventures have been expanded to include not only waterfowl, but landbirds, shorebirds, waterbirds and game birds, while adapting in other ways to address emerging challenges. Partners' conservation projects not only advance waterfowl conservation, but make substantial contributions toward the conservation of all wetland-associated species. Three species joint ventures have also been formed to address monitoring and research needs of specific species or species groups. The species joint ventures are also international in scope.
On the 25th anniversary of the joint ventures, USFWS said partners have conserved nearly 16 million acres (6.47 million hectares) of critical wildlife habitat.
"For 25 years, migratory bird Joint Ventures have worked to protect and restore landscapes that support healthy bird populations, sustain livelihoods, and provide nature's benefits to people and wildlife," said Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. "We share a vision of a landscape where native birds thrive, and we believe that our well-being depends on healthy lands, waters, and wildlife. By bringing together diverse partners, Joint Ventures protect the landscapes that birds, and people, rely upon."
Effective, collaborative conservation for birds is needed now more than ever, USFWS said. More than 30 percent of bird species in the United States are federally listed as endangered, threatened or of conservation concern. Their greatest threat, USFWS said, is habitat loss on breeding areas, overwintering grounds and migration sites throughout North America and beyond.
"The work of the Joint Ventures is critical to protecting and restoring North American bird populations and habitats. These science-driven partnerships have greatly improved our ability to deliver conservation at a continental scale," said USFWS Director Dan Ashe.
At a Capitol Hill reception March 21, the joint ventures program presented awards to several key partners, recognizing their efforts as "Conservation Champions" who have supported collaborative conservation efforts over the past two and a half decades. A listing of the award recipients is available of the USFWS website.

Kate Moss bangs picture
Trend Alert: Fringe Benefits
by Beauty
Like us on Facebook
As soon as Kate Moss decided to cut her hair into fringey bangs, other fashion-plate stars like Nicole Richie, Charlize Theron and even Carmen Electra almost immediately followed suit. As we know, this is a great bang choice for those with round faces, but I am willing to bet this is just the beginning of fringe mania. What do you make of these 70's-inspired wispy hairstyles?

Kate Moss hardly invented the style. Even recently, Reese Witherspoon has had bangs for a while now. Hers look great on her, by the way. Kate's not so much. Nicole looks decent. But she's also had bangs for a while. They were to the side, though. Kate just looks sloppy. They have to be done very neat, straight. Or swept to the side.

Nova... same here.. dark brown/black hair, v. b.page... and how can you not love it!? I had bangs when I was little and hated my round, chubby face w/ them... But now... with them cut super short and straight they square out my face and I like that. I cut them in August though, I'll be surprised if they fully last a year. I change my hair pretty often.

I agree, *** mappack 48 maps.
Wcp9 rulez !!
Wcp15 great map, "more" (not only, obv) cpm imho...
Bring in Wcp14 and Wxs1 (best insta ever!) too
P.S: did I say that Wcp9 rulez ?
There are so many good maps out there for quake 3 its ridiculous. Running into a map you don't know is always a great test of your ability to adapt to it. Especially in a fast paced game like this. There are also so many maps with custom functions to choose from it could take forever to filter them all. You could always just use the close your eyes and point method. Anyways id like to add this link to a website I'm thrilled to see still exists. Thank you ID for bringing back quake!
i was looking through all the old threewave maps from q3a.
i think q3wxs1, and or q3wcp9. should be added to Qlive!
hi all, I'm a long time fan of Quake III and recently found Quake Live & I am quite impressed. Its nice to show the younger gamers their true roots and the sheer speed of Carmack's game engine.
Now its time for... "q3wcp14' Campers Crossings"

This is part of the Threewave pack, and is insanely fun with a 3 on 3 or a 4 on 4 team setup. I played literally countless hours on this map back in the day in OSP. This would be a map 4 of us would get into and spend 6 hours and tons of soda and pizza on. The strat is tight, fast, the runes are a nitemare to control and makes it hell a fun. If you guys added this map in *mad props*

Parents can include their children in decorating the home for the holidays as well as participating in the tree trimming.
The day after Thanksgiving is the traditional tree-trimming day for our family. We serve up hot cocoa with marshmallows (a favorite treat of our nephew and nieces ), fill the room with fun and uplifting holiday and Christmas music, let the kids pick out the ornaments they like and then let them go about placing them on the tree – with adult supervision and assistance.
Each child is also given a special ornament that is theirs and theirs alone – and it's always a treat to watch them search for that perfect spot for their special ornament. Our nieces and nephews love decorating the Christmas tree and their joy defines what is the holiday spirit.

Iron spear with inlaid ornament
Early Anglo-Saxon, 6th century
From Grave 51, Great Chesterford, Essex
This spear was found lying close to the right shoulder of a man who was also buried with a knife, probably suspended from the waist belt which was fastened by an iron buckle. A pair of bronze tweezers lay by his right elbow. Spears are the most commonly found weapon in Anglo-Saxon England. They could be used as a thrusting weapon in battle or as a hunting weapon, essential to bring down large game such as red deer or boar.
The spear has an
angular blade decorated with ring and dot motifs inlaid in
copper-alloy. The spear has a long split socket with a rivet still
in position. The open end of the socket is ornamented with a finely
executed gilt bronze band. This is decorated with a frieze of four

Pumpkin Flan
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: We are a family of flan eaters, all 30 or so of us ... so it was just natural that I should start bringing a pumpkin flan to the Thanksgiving dinner. This recipe makes a bit more than will fit in the loaf pan so we generally make a couple of ramekins on the side for, um, quality control. —aargersi
Serves 1 loaf plus 2 or 3 sidecars
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 15 oz can pumpkin
- 5 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon each - cinnamon / nutmeg / allspice
- Get out a pyrex loaf pan and have it at the ready. Put the sugar and water in a small heavy bottomed saucepan. Swirl it around. Put it over medium heat - if it's a gas stove you want the flames under the pan, not going up the sides at all. Let it bubble and do NOT mess with it. I know you want to stir it, but don't. Trust me. Keep an eye on it though and when it starts to turn golden around the edges you are allowed to stir (see photo for when you can start stirring). Turn the heat down and stir until you get a nice golden color - stop just short of how you want it as it will darken a bit more in the pan. Pour it into the loaf pan and sprinkle it with 1/4 tsp each of cinnamon nutmeg and allspice. Let it set up - it doesn't need to be hard but it needs to stiffen up some.
- Now make the custard - just put the remaining ingredients in a big bowl or in your mixer and whip until it is very frothy. The sugar should be set now - pour the custard over the sugar, and remaining custard can go into ramekins.
- put the loaf pan in a larger pan and put it in the COLD oven, fill the outer pan with 1" or so of water. Turn the oven on to 350 and set the time for an hour and 20 minutes. Depending on your particular oven it may take a bit longer - bake until the flan is puffing up around the edges and no longer wobbly in the middle. The ramekins will be done sooner (oh yeah - put them in there in a water bath too)
- You can eat the flan warm or chilled (we like it warm). When you are ready, run a knife around the edge of the pan and then place a plate over the top. Quickly flip the whole shootin' match, then get as much of the sugar goo out and onto the flan as you can. Scrape the goodies around the edge of the pan with a spoon and eat them. That is your reward for being the cook.
- That loaf pan WILL come clean, but you are going to need to soak it.

Pittsburgh Penguins give Sidney Crosby $104.2 million
So Sidney Crosby is going to get Ilya Kovalchuk money? That only seems fair, despite Sid the Kid's scary concussion history.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are prepared to lock in Crosby with a $104.2 million extension over 12 years, with an annual salary cap hit of $9 million. That deal, reported by TSN, came on the heels of Jordan Staal rejecting a 10-year, $60 million deal to stay in Pittsburgh.
Staal moved on to Carolina in a trade. That exit, plus Crosby's extension, will move Evgeni Malkin's contract situation to the front burner. Can the Penguins make Crosby's tag team partner a similar offer?
Or will he opt to test free agency?

"To secure ongoing funding for the care and support of our veterans and their families, as well as for other charitable causes."
The Department of Defence and the Department of Veterans' Affairs share the lead in caring for wounded and injured Australian Defence Force personnel, but a gap remains in that care as there is a limit to entitlements, grants, programs and funding. Australia has a number of other stakeholder organisations that attend to the needs of physically wounded and psychologically impacted veterans and their families.
These stakeholders add an extra dimension to the care of our wounded and their families; however, they require continued access to funding to do their work. Wandering Warriors Inc is a charity which raises funds to help meet that need.
The Cause
Increasingly, Australia's military engagements are being fought by the few, with many ADF personnel putting themselves in harm's way on multiple operational deployments. Australians have had differing views about our military involvement in Afghanistan, but they have stood behind the young Australians undertaking that fight. [Read More]
Wandering Warriors
Wandering Warriors Inc is a fundraising initiative of the Australian SAS Association. Our members are veterans of Australia's military conflicts over the past 50 years. We volunteer our time, energy and resources to conduct events that raise funds for wounded, injured or ill veterans and their families. Wandering Warriors has no paid positions.

My fall marathon choice for this year was the Towpath Marathon, held along the Ohio Canal Corridor by the Cuyahoga River between Peninsula and Brecksville, Ohio in early October. It is tough to characterize this marathon, as it is held on a the Towpath "Trail" but the trail is a pretty hard cinder surface, nearly like running on the road. Regardless of how you characterize it, the defining characteristic of the race is that it is flat and, so long as your legs can handle the repetitive motion that comes from not having hills to adjust to, it therefore has the potential to be fast.
After a pretty solid season of high mileage training using the Pfitzinger 18/70 program, capped off with a PR at the River Run Half-Marathon, my best ever 6-mile tempo run (at a 6:07 pace), and my best ever mile intervals (averaging 5:43 each), I approached the race with some confidence in my sub-3:00 goals – in fact, so much so that I had adjusted my thinking (and the pace on my watch) to center around 2:57. The weather turned out perfectly for the event, overnight lows around 50, warming to the mid-60's by 11:00, with nothing but clear skies and very little wind.
After my usual getting-up-5-minutes-before-the-alarm on race morning, and a breakfast of an English muffin and coffee, plus a bottle of water, all to cap off the best-ever carbo-loading and hydration preparation I've ever done before a race, I left plenty early, given the reputation the Towpath has for traffic issues at the Boston Mills Ski Resort starting area. I thus arrived 90 minutes before the race start, and just stayed warm in the car, with a few trips to the restroom mixed in. About 20 minutes before the start, I made my way to the starting line and did some lunges, myrtl, and stretching to get loose. As always, I lined up near the front, and struck up a conversation with the gentleman, Kevin, who finished just behind me at the Towpath Ten-Ten 10-mile race in June.
The race was a bit unique in combining a half-marathon, marathon, and 10K, all with different courses and, at least for the marathon, a different starting line. Thus, they could fit in a large crowd (2,360 overall, just under 500 for the marathon) onto a relatively narrow trail without crowding. The marathon starts on Riverview Road (thus giving the some space to spread out early) and then heads south on the Towpath, whereas the half-marathon starts a bit further back on Riverview Road and then turns north when hitting the trail. With the double out-and-back route, you had the opportunity to see your fellow marathoners twice, in most cases, plus see the ~2:00+ finishers of the half-marathon (and the half-marathon walkers, who shared part of the marathon route). This was really a well-planned set of courses.
So, now for the race, my goal, based on some great advice from Chris Stelzer on Dailymile, was to focus on staying relaxed as long as possible, so long as relaxed meant "6:45 pace or thereabouts". Early on I joined up with another runner who stated his goal was 3:07. We chatted for a bit, and he mentioned that he trained with the guy who had taken the early lead, and he was targeting a 2:50 marathon. Right after we hit the trail, I realized that Mr. 3:07 was running more like a 2:52 pace, so I let him go and just relaxed about it.
About the same time, there was a group of what sounded like three runners coming up behind me. Part of the "relax" policy for this race was "no looking back" – I now realize that once you start looking back, you are acting more out of fear than confidence. One of the runners, Mr. Bright-Green Compression Socks, passed me before the 2-mile mark, but the others must have faded back.
So now just began one of the long relatively-alone sequences. There was a runner in my sights, but we maintained roughly a 50-yard spacing for several miles. I focused on hydration, which was easy as the aid stations were, well, excessive (and I mean that in a good way). I was pleased to find they had Gatorade, as the aid station list before the race stated Heed was the beverage of choice, and I'd never tried that before. The miles just passed along steadily, with one at 6:58 concerning me a bit, but I wrote it off to poor marking of the mileage – I used the manual laps on my Garmin so as to be more accurate on splits.
At about the 6-mile mark, the runner in front of me stopped for a bit to tie his shoe. Our gap closed to maybe 15 yards, but then held steady for another two miles or so. Suddenly, he began to slow, and I passed him just after the 8 mile mark, before we crossed an intersection near the turn-around. This was where I first got a count of my position in the marathon as the leaders made their way back, and I found myself in 6th, with everyone in front looking pretty strong, especially the leader. Considering I expected to finish between 10th and 15th given last year's times, I was pleased with this spot, and just continued to relax. There were several runners within 100 yards behind me, but I just (say it with me) relaxed and figured they'd catch me if they were good enough.
And so it went for the first 4 or so miles of the return. Seeing the marathoners heading out, including a colleague from work and a middle school classmate and now Dailymile/Facebook friend, Jennifer Beaujon, gave me extra motivation, and my pace picked up to the low 6:30's (but I still felt relaxed). The Towpath has curves but also some long straight stretches, so you can see well ahead of you, maybe by 1/4 mile at times. And it was in one of these long stretches, just before the half-way point, that I saw Mr. Bright Green Compression Socks coming back to me. Knowing that moving into fifth sounded good, but realizing that I had plenty of time to catch him, I just stayed relaxed, and over the next mile or so I reeled him in, passing him past the 14 mile point. Oh, and I had hit the halfway point at 1:27:51, ahead of my 2:57 pace, but still feeling very relaxed.
With a few more miles of alone time, I started the math of what pace I needed to keep to go sub-3:00, and 2:57. And as the miles went by, and my splits stayed in the low 6:30's, that number kept going up. And I felt no need to slow down. I knew, absent a freakish injury, sub-3:00 was in the bag. So I relaxed even more.
You hit the finish area just before mile 18, and then head north for the last 8 miles of out-and-back, and here is where the half-marathoners pass you coming south. So, once again, plenty of motivation, hearing shouts of encouragement ("you're in 5th place!") and returning the favor, and the pace stayed steady. I began to wonder if Mr. 3:07 would eventually fade, but no one was in sight through mile 20. I started to feel a bit dizzy, and I had missed the gels at mile 19 as they were on the wrong side of the trail, but I tried to, well, you know, "relax" about it, and the dizziness faded.
And maybe that was because, just ahead of mile 21, the thought occurred to me that I hadn't seen the leaders come back yet, and I knew we were close to the turnaround. They shortly began coming back, but only the top two, and they didn't seem as far ahead as I would have expected. And then, seconds later, both the 3rd and 4th place runners came into my sights, not having reached the turnaround yet. Again, knowing there was plenty of time left, I relaxed, and passed Mr. 3:07 into 4th place about halfway into mile 21 (he ended up doing 3:05, glad he beat his goal). We then hit the turnaround loop, and I passed into 3rd place in the middle of this, and Mr. 3:07 was already well back. In fact, on the return, I didn't see any runners coming north for a while, so I knew that those who were close at mile 9 had faded quite a bit.
Now the runners coming north began telling me about the 2nd place runner, who was Vince Rucci, owner of the Vertical Runner store and running community in Hudson, Ohio (a really outstanding store, and Vince had hooked me up with the Mizuno Wave Riders last year). I had seen Vince at the start and thought, "well, there's someone I'll never keep up with in a race." Suddenly, somewhere past mile 22 (mile marker 23 appeared to be missing, as I and my work colleague never saw it – and mile 22 had measured long), there was Vince, and the gap was closing pretty quickly. I was excited, but stayed relaxed, and eventually passed him, feeling very content with what now appeared likely to be a second place finish.
I missed the gel station again but didn't care at this point – I felt fine. No signs of any bonk, energy was high. And it started getting higher. After moving into second, the runners coming north began saying, in essence, "the leader is a minute-and-a-half ahead of you and he's really struggling, go get him." When I crossed the one intersection on the back half of the course between mile markers 24 and 25, the race volunteer stationed there got on her walkie-talkie to the pace bike and said "we have a runner coming up strong on the leader." And shortly after that, the reports from the runners coming north were, "he's just 25 seconds ahead of you, and really hurting."
And, just around mile 25, there he was. And the gap was closing unbelievably fast. It must have been just 20 seconds after I saw the leader that I passed him. The pacer looked back, and started picking up her pace. After I took the lead, the previous leader (Michael Siringer) pulled up and yelled, "It hurts!". I knew at that point that there was no one that was going to come back on me.
At that point, my right hamstring, which had been tight for the past several weeks, and which I'd dug my thumb into several times in the race, nearly seized up and cramped on me. Jennifer had yelled her greeting to me coming north sometime at that point (she commented that it looked like my hamstring was troubling me). I once again dug my thumb into my hamstring, and I once again relaxed, and I thought "not this time", as I'd had to pull up in each of my past 6 marathons or so with a mile left to stretch that hamstring.
And lo and behold, the cramp went away.
And I resumed my natural stride.
And the pacer started calling out to the half-marathoners who were still on the course, "please make way, the marathon leader is coming through."
And the runners coming north began cheering me on, some of them applauding.
And I completely lost track of my time goals.
And the mile 26 marker was on me before I knew it.
And just beyond the 26-mile mark, I heard the pacer get on her walkie talkie and announce "the marathon leader is coming in".
And I burst out into the opening near the Boston Store, and the crowds began to cheer.
And I picked up the pace a bit more.
And the finish line was just around the corner.
And I made the last turn, pumped my fists low, and screamed "yeahh!!!!" Which is quite an outburst for this normally stoic runner.
And I finished that last 0.2 miles in a 6:04 pace.
And the announcer said, "The winner of the 2011 Towpath Marathon is Greg Strosaker (mispronounced a bit, I think) of Solon, OH, in a time of …" (I zoned out and didn't hear). It was 2:55:41, nearly 8 minutes faster than my previous PR and my first sub-3:00 marathon.
And I didn't know what to do. The volunteers in the finish area were all congratulating me. I shook my legs out, grabbed my medal, grabbed a Gatorade, and a banana, and a Subway sandwich, and some pretzels, and started eating. See, I had to get home in time to coach my 6-year-old son's soccer game in around 2 hours.
I stayed put for a while and watched the others come in. I was surprised at the margin of victory – I'd polished off a bit of my sandwich already. Vince ended up in second. Then third was another minute behind, a runner I hadn't passed so he must have finished strong. I watched a few more runners coming in, offered my congratulations to them, and then ran (recovery pace, don't worry) to my car to call my wife. While heading to my car, someone walking to the race asked, "Did you finish?" My response was simply, "I won." On hearing the news, my wife reported that my 6 year-old son had just asked, "Did Daddy win his race?", and she had said "I don't know yet, but he probably didn't win." And then I went home, as unfortunately I couldn't stick around for the awards which weren't for another hour.
So, I actually won a marathon. Yes, a small marathon, and not the strongest field it has ever had, but a marathon nonetheless. I don't think I've ever outright won a race. Even in high school track, I was always in second place. Two lessons that will stick with me forever – first is that high, easy mileage works. Yes, you need the lactate threshold work, and some VO2max work over the long run, but the marathon is about aerobic capacity, and no better way to get that than time on your feet. And staying relaxed and steady, and being confident in your potential, and not reaching beyond that, is the key to the marathon.
1:27:51 first half. 1:27:50 second half. It doesn't get any steadier than that. Mile 25 passed in 6:41, spot on with the average for the rest of the race. I didn't accelerate the second half. Everyone else faded. Like I always do. But not this time.
Now to figure out what's next. I guess 2:50 sounds pretty good. I like simple goals. But first, I'll relax a little more.
And this, by the way, is a phenomenal event. And the Nike Lunarfly 2 is a terrific marathon shoe.
Update 10/13/11: I'd like to thank Ty Godwin for including my summary in his Raceapalloza recap on his Seeking Boston Marathon blog, and Jodi Higgins for featuring me on her Thumbs Up Thursday post on Run Jodi Run.
