| Important News about Fox and Turkey
New Date: Thanksgiving
Day, November
26th
 This
year's Fox and Turkey 4-mile and 1-mile race will is
moving to Thanksgiving Day, November 26th! Please make
note of it on your racing calendars.
This year's race will be a regular
chip-timed race as opposed to a predictor race. We're
hoping the move to Thanksgiving Day will increase
participation. Many runners enjoy a Thanksgiving race
after popping the turkey into the oven. But without a
Thanksgiving race in the tri-cities area, it can pose a
problem driving some distance to a race and getting back
in time to finish dinner preparations.
The race course is the same as
previous years. For more information about this year's
race, visit our
website.

bike trail. Be sure to bring some money for dinner.
Contact Tom Spadafora at frtrmembership@comcast.net with any

How Do
You Train for an Ultra?
By Steve Richey
 When I'm asked this question, I think many
folks are thinking "how would I train for an
ultra?". As you probably already know, an "ultra"
is defined as any race distance that is longer than the
standard 26.2 mile marathon. So, just how
does one go about preparing to cover these sorts of
distances?
The short answer is that you have to run, and to
enjoy the day-to-day training. As in any training
program, there are many levels - some of us take
competition more seriously than
others.

| KindOfAMarathon
~ November 29
 Don't forget ... if you missed the Chicago
Marathon and are looking for something a little
different ... consider running the third
annual KindOfAMarathon at 8:15 on November 29th that
begins in Sycamore and runs out and back on the Great
Western trail. It's a bargain at just $9 per entry.
Space is limited to 50 runners so sign up right
away!

Sacroiliac Joint
Syndrome
Submitted By David Ginsberg
Written by Brian Mathers, MD and Ben Greenfield,
CSCS
Whether it happens while hunched and hammering for
dozens of miles on the bicycle, pounding the pavement on
a long weekend run or throwing the hips side to side
during an hour-long swim workout, we as triathletes have
all experienced some form of lower back pain during or
after our training sessions.
And if you haven't yet joined the ranks of those
who have this nagging injury, the inevitable consequence
of chronic repetitive hip motion will eventually catch
up with you, possibly manifesting itself as a shoulder,
upper leg, knee, ankle or foot injury.
