Awards presented at the end of the season dinner 11/22.

 Awards Committee: Gill Schumaker, Bryan Abbott and Barbara Jane Miller.

 It was an honor and a privilege to run the Boston Marathon and be part of such a unique event with its 113 year history of hosting the world's fastest runners.  At the expo, I sat in on a presentation by Bart Yasso and I told him that if it wasn’t for doing those Yasso 800s in 2007, I wouldn’t be there. The whole city and all the towns along the route really go all out to put on an outstanding event. Of course all the participants are happy to be there and there is a feeling of celebration the entire weekend. I was impressed by the amount of Boston Marathon apparel that Adidas was selling and that everybody was wearing. While I was waiting in a very long line at the expo to buy my “Celebration Jacket”, I commented to the guy in front of me “this isn’t a marathon, this is a gold mine.” The day before the marathon I went on a bus tour of the course which was very worthwhile for somebody like me who was not familiar with the course. I've been to Boston several times but had never been to Hopkinton or most of the places you run through during the marathon. The tour was excellent led by a highly qualified guide who had run Boston 8 times with a PR of 2:29, a thick Boston accent, and a real passion for Boston and marathon racing. He actually gave some good advice to those of us on the tour that would be running the race the next day.

The weather was in the 40’s with a headwind. The wind got stronger when you passed the Newton hills. I like to run in cold weather so it was shorts, a singlet and running gloves for me. At the end of the race, when they gave me a Mylar blanket, I really needed it. Since I didn't have a specific time goal for this race, I decided that I would try to slow it down from my previous 2 marathons and have as my main goal an enjoyable day. Then I decided that my secondary goal would be to run negative splits which is hard to do in Boston because the 2nd half is much more difficult than the first half. As a result, it was like 2 separate races for me. The first half was like a vacation taking in the sights and sounds, slapping hands, kissing Wellesley girls etc. and the second half was work. It's amazing the difference in effort for running about a minute faster in the second half. Also, it was really nice to have trained with  Mark Buciak’s group “Road to Boston” which was going to be running Boston. We had our own coach bus to the start which stayed there so we didn't have to wait out in the cold and we had our own dinner at an Italian restaurant the night before. Jennifer Fetterolf and a friend of hers were on my plane on the way there and back so we shared a taxi to and from our Hotels which were right next to each other. Stephanie Williams was on our bus to the start and we shared a taxi to O'Hare. Also, "Trail" Bob Herskovitz was on my plane on the way back. He was pacing a charity runner for the Liver foundation and achieved his goal of bringing him home in less than 4 hours. This was a guy who had not qualified for Boston but was running because he had raised a bunch of money for charity.

For anybody who qualifies for Boston or can run it by raising money for charity, using connections, running as a bandit, or however else people do it, I would definitely recommend running this marathon. I qualified for the 2010 Boston Marathon at St. George, Utah last year so I’ve already made a hotel reservation. I doubt that I will want to do it every year but I’m pretty sure I’d like to do it at least twice.

 Awards presented at the end of the season dinner.

Bryan Abbott, “2008 Coaches Award”
In recognition of having done what few will ever do—what you thought you could never do—you became a marathoner.  You will wear this distinction not on your lapel, but in your heart, for the rest of you life.

When you started your marathon training; you told us how rough the road ahead would be, how heavy the load would be, and about the barricades that would await you on the track.  But Bryan, you set your soul ahead upon the your goal and nothing left from hell to sky ever turned you back.  

When you burst across the finish line filled with pride you found that a marathon finish is more than just something you earn; a marathon finisher is someone you become. Congratulations, Bryan, Marathon Finisher.


 Marisa Torre, “I Did It Award”
The members of Team NorthShore Congratulates you on following your dreams, listening to your heart and finishing your first marathon.

First marathons are immensely challenging, even for the most naturally gifted runners.  Twenty-six point two miles if just a long way to go, no matter who you are.  The marathon tells you it will hurt you, that it will leave you demoralized and defeated in a lifeless heap on the roadside.  It says it can’t be done—not by you.  HA!  It taunts you.  In your dreams!

You, Marisa, answered back with a resounding Oh, yes I can!  You were able to overcome a challenge of such proportions and you came away with benefits—in the form of confidence, self-respect and fearlessness—that never fade.


Leslie Henderson, “The S’miler Award”
In recognition of your ability to smile through those many early morning miles and keep us smiling too!  We also recognize your ability at any given moment to carry on great conversations all along those training runs with anyone and everyone no matter if they had speed or slow mo as their pace.  Leslie, we hope Team NorthShore has given you a few new friends, because you are a priceless friend to all of us.


Barbara Miller, “The Runner who most inspired us in 2008”
Each time you laced up your shoes you explored new territory—not just on the road or the trail, but within yourself.   We watched you push yourself miles farther than we or you ever thought you would go.  Thanks to the simple act of moving forward you have uncovered hidden strengths in yourself and inspired all of us to achieve more than we think that we can.  We honor you not just for the miles you have run but for the future members of TNS you will inspire.  


Suzie LaBell, “Stepping up award”
Without the support provided by the volunteers who manage and perform essential duties we would not have the successful running club that we have.  Suzie, Team NorthShore thanks you and express their sincere gratitude for “Stepping up” and becoming our first ever Photo Archivist.

Beth Abbott, “2008 Come Back Runner Award”
There was a time, years ago, Beth ran and her performance was, well fast. She ran and ran and never got tired.  In time her life changed, she added three additional stressor components that caused what is known as ‘peripheral fatigue’.

Now, today, Beth is making a ComeBack which resulted from the evolutionary process called “going to college”.  TNS members have seen her running on the GreenBay Trail, Lovelace Park and even in the dark on week day mornings.  Welcome back, Runner.

RACING FANS AMAZED AT CHICAGO DISTANCE CLASSIC

Written By David Cahnman

Several thousand fans of endurance racing competition gathered to watch over 11,000 road runners scamper 13.1 miles along Chicago’s magnificent lakefront in the most exciting half marathon race this season. The highlight of the race was the astounding performance of six elite athletes from the northern suburbs of Chicago racing under the banner of Team NorthShore/I-RUN Glencoe. Before the race began, running guru John “The Penguin” Bingham gave the following words of wisdom to all the competitors: he first advised the runners that the course would remain open for 4 hours, and that anybody who finished in less time than that was not truly getting their moneys worth. He then reminded everybody that a half-marathon is an endurance race and so the best thing to do is “start slowly and taper off from there.” The six speedsters from Team NorthShore/I-RUN Glencoe totally ignored that advice. All six, Sandy Wall, Sheila Lehr, Maimon Lusky, Jeannie Ryan, Emily Izenstein and David Cahnman finished the race in well under 2 and a half hours, beating last year’s performance when all team members finished in under 3 hours.

Racing conditions were very good for August with temperatures in the low 60’s, a big improvement over the hot humid conditions last year. The only weather related impediment was a stiff wind out of the north/northwest which slowed runners on the home stretch. Team coach Gill Schumaker was so confident of his team’s ability to perform that he stayed in the northern suburbs this year to coach those team members doing their normal training runs from the Glencoe Metra station instead of going to the race. After the race, several runners who were wearing GPS watches noted that the recorded distance was close to 13.4 miles, about three-tenths of a mile longer than a half-marathon. There has been an acknowledgement by the race director that the actual length was .1668 mile too long. Because of this controversy, I questioned all the team members whether they thought the race was too long or too short. One ambitious runner not complaining about the race being too long was marathoner-in-training Emily Izenstein. Because her marathon training program called for a 17-mile run on race day, she ran 4 miles to the start before beginning the race, thereby sacrificing a faster race time in the interest of better marathon training.

In other post race remarks, Sandy Wall commented that the headwind going north was refreshing and Maimon Lusky said it was a beautiful day for a race. Maimon’s brother-in-law made a special trip from Tel Aviv to run in this race and for him it was a PR of 2:14. Sheila Lehr said that “the course was pretty coming back up along the lake and then by the Field Museum.” Jeannie enjoyed passing Maimon on a hill and then maintaining a fast enough pace to keep him from passing her later on. David Cahnman was happy with a PR but thinks that an even cooler day with less wind and an accurately measured course could produce a slightly faster half- marathon in the not too distant future.

You paid your dues and you are a champian.

Happy Birthday on the 24th.

Vamas Adrian!

Comments from David Cahnman:

April 2008

Written by Robert Herskovitz, J.D.
Deputy Regional Health Administrator, Region-V U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

aka: Trail Bob

Some of us run for fitness, some for competitiveness, some just for breakfast, but we all should consider ourselves as role models for others. There are thousands of runners in our state, but millions who not only never run, also never take a step toward fitness, or any sort of healthier life. While sometimes, cute public stunts can gain attention, like the event I will share in a moment, there are so many more things we should consider as individuals, and as TEAM NORTHSHORE.

Recruit folks. No everyone needs to come onboard to go for 26.2, or race at all, but everyone should consider a club like ours for fitness, and health education. We have some speed merchants, middle of the pack folks and folks just out for the pleasure. As a team, we all share our tips, knowledge and awareness about being heart healthy, and so much more. Our knowledge is not top secret – share with those who need to know.

Run for a cause. Many of us support charities – last year the Chicago Marathon raised over 10 million dollars to support needed causes, run for those who can’t and may never be able to run, but who’s lives can be saved by the dollars you raise. Not doing a marathon, pick a race that is based on a specific charity and jump in. Not a racer; support a teammate and help fight the for the cures that need funds to do so,

Run for awareness.

So, some “clever” person thought it would be cute if that “dude from the paper the runs to work” does a cameo tribute to thank them and talk about disabled vets….

Well, the Special Olympics is more for mentally challenged kids, but anytime I can talk about hurting vets, and get to speak on public health, AND GET A RUN IN as part of my job, I dig it. The course was 32 miles, but, the legs are always ready for 20- so 32 and a rock show, yeah baby – I am on it. Now as my current role bills me as senior gov official, I had to get clearance to speak. I brought it up on our leadership call, and two things came up. I got the greenlight, and the woman who chairs the president’s fitness council, also part of our weekly call with the Secretary and his assistant for the President’s Fitness Challenge sent me the fitness t-shirt to wear, and then tossed in a offer for me to speak to the ROAD RUNNERS CLUB of AMERICA at the Flying Pig Marathon in May.

No, I did not sing, but the bikers gave me the most emotional cheer I ever experienced as a public person. It motivated so much, the following week I ran a 3:27:59 Equestrian Trail Marathon, which is also a charitable event supporting autistic children.

Anatoly Barsky

Come Back Runner

Way on the other boarder of Russia is that land of the famous Chinese philosopher who said, “The longest journey begins with the first step.” Little did that gentleman know that if he looked to you and saw what you have done, then he would have corrected his statement to read: “An even longer journey begins with a 2^nd. Step, a step for recovery.” You, Sir, have come a long, long way.

You are presented The“Coach’s” Award in recognition of what’s in yourheart, your desire and courage, to once again realize your running potential.

This award can be presented, as needed, to any ‘naysayer’ or ‘know it all’ who says, “you can’t do it”.

________________________________________________

Barbara Jane Miller

EnduranceRunner of the year

Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory by wearing the latest fashions in running apparel. Trailshoes by Brooks, water belt ensemble from Amphipod, and the latest iPod, the Shuffle.

Clearly, there is one thing that proves your ability to endure through all the heavy weather: sun, rain, snow, wind and bitter cold. No matter whether we ran North or South, at 6 or 7 am, you were there at the end with your most fashionable, warm and ENDURING SMILE to warm the hearts of your fellow teammates. Not to mention that you sported the best coupons for breakfast, and no one can divide a check quicker, or more accurately than you.

_______________________

Maimon Lusky – TheFree Sprit Award

In recognition of your ability to run Any time, Any place, Any distance and Only when you feel like it.

No clock, calendar, nor Garmin, could ever predict, when, where, or how, you would show up for or finish a group run. As the noted poet of running, Robert Frost, once observed:

“Two roads diverged in a yellowwood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth; and running there was Maimon”

Torre Family – The“Host with the Most” Award

Team Northshore presents this award in recognition of a family of warmth, support and love. Just crossing the doorstep we can feel the gentle nurturing welcome you provided to all guests coming to visit. This is a home of warmth, a house of support and a family of love. For you all to bring in a team of runners just before the holidays and treat us, as we are first class extended family members. We do feel welcome, we feel respected and most of all we feel grateful for the charming and gracious way we have been received by your entire family. In fact, we feel so very comfortable, and so very much a part of the family, let’s start decorating the tree.

Dave Ray – The S’miler Award

Team Northshore presents this award in recognition of the power of your gentleness, warmth, wisdom and humor. A single encounter, even while running in the rain, with you and your smile is enough to be touched by your unquestioning kindness and concern for a person’s feelings.

David Cahnman – Marathoner

In Recognition of being the most consistent and reliable pace leader this year and your unmatched ability to chronicle the exploits of TNS you have raised the bar for all your teammates. You not only helped others to reach their running goals you also stepped up your own personal performance as well by showing us all how to finish felling good while running the Windy City Great Melt Down Marathon and then going on to qualify for the Boston Marathon with 20 seconds left on the clock. But most of all we award you the...

“STEPPING IT UP” AWARD

for wearing the latest line of Trail Bob running gear.

What also goes along with this recognition is the satisfaction you will have from seeing your teammates benefit from your leadership. The PRs that are about to come for them, their abilities to grow and thrive as mature runners are products of your ability to stand tall and lead the way.

___________________________________________

Michael Garrett – The “HelpingHand” Award

In recognition of all the summer mornings that you spent cheering on your teammates as well as other runners TNS wants you to know that we could not have done it without you.

This summer your teammates were able to train and survive the humid conditions based upon being able to trust that no matter how far, how long, how deep they ran, Gatorade and You were just ahead.

Perhaps the most classic example was a very heavily raining morning when most of the team cancelled, and even with only 3 runners, who were running an 18 miler, Gatorade was at every stop, courtesy of Michael.

Longtime Glencoe resident Bob Herskovitz can be considered a walking, make that a running, billboard to promote health and fitness, especially in the North Shore area.

Herskovitz is the Deputy Regional Health Administrator for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

"We're engaged in creating healthy initiatives in Chicago and its suburbs," Herskovitz said. "Our goal by the 2016 Olympics is to have Chicago as one of the fittest cities in the world."

It won't take until 2016 for Herskovitz to be considered one of the fittest in the North Shore, especially at the age of 50 (turns 51 in November). A former football player at Senn High School, Herskovitz spent 22 years in the Navy in operations combat.

During his tour of duty with the Navy, Herskovitz has been deployed from the North Pole to the South Pole and from the Pacific to the Atlantic, "and a few deserts thrown in." This includes his involvement in the Kuwaiti frontier during the first Gulf War.

To keep in tip-top shape, Herskovitz competes in marathons. On October 7, he'll be competing in his sixth LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon, where he will run on behalf of the American Liver Foundation.

In the midst of the 45,000 runners, you just might happen to notice a tall, fit gentleman in a Navy ball cap.

"It's like living inside a party running in the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon," Herskovitz said. "You start at the Loop, run past Old Town, Wrigley Field, most every neighborhood in Chicago, with blues bands, high school bands, never an empty corner (million fans cheering the 26.2 mile route)."

As part of his training for the marathon, Herskovitz runs 20-plus miles from the Glencoe train station to his office at the Illinois Center. He typically does this every other Friday, but for his last long-training exercise, he ran to work on Tuesday

Bob is up by 4 a.m. and out the door by 4:45 to begin his sojourn from Glencoe to downtown Chicago. He takes the train station route past Winnetka, Kenilworth and Wilmette, before he veers towards the lakefront by Evanston and then to Lake Shore Drive.

From Metra riders crowded on their trains to stalled traffic on Lake Shore Drive, Bob serves as the advertisement to better fitness and health. So after the run, is it a leisurely day Downtown?

"I'm at my desk by 8:30," Herskovitz said. "Of course I'm in the gym by 8 to get ready for work."

While Herskovitz is a solitary figure running from Glencoe to Chicago, he's part of a team in the suburbs. He joined Team North Shore, which has 45 runners from Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe and other area communities. The group, with 11 members competing in the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon next month, meets at 6 a.m. at the Wilmette Metra Train Station and runs to the Braeside Highland Park Station (six miles) and back.

Bob recounted that he was running one day by the Braeside station and was offered a drink by members of Team North Shore.

"We set up aid stations every two miles and invite people to stop, chat and have a drink of water," Wilmette resident and Team North Shore (www.teamnorthshore.org) founder Gill Schumaker said. "We're trying to have our area become a great running community."

"I kept seeing those guys running north when I was running south or visa versa and wondered who they were," Herskovitz said.

Bob is now an avid member of Team North Shore, which adds a nuance or two to his marathon training. The team uses the latest scientific knowledge from the Furman University Institute of Running, which includes a combination of speed work, tempo training and long runs, balancing heart rate, pace and distance on a specific training regimen throughout the week.

Even with his considerable time spent with Team North Shore and his runs Downtown to work, Herskovitz also has found time to run/train with 17-year Glencoe resident Fred Socoloff.

"We met running on the Green Bay trail and became friends," Socoloff, who recently relocated to Scottsdale, recounted. "We would run from the Glencoe train station past Highland Park to Lake Forest and back. When I first started running with Bob I was faster, but now he kills me."

He might be able to outpace Socoloff and be near the lead pack for the Team North Shore runners, but there's one racer he can't compete with.

"My wife Janis power-walks through the Glencoe trails," Herskovitz said. "I really have a hard time keeping up with her."

BY SHAMUS TOOMEY Staff Reporter stoomey@suntimes.com

Think your commute is long? Talk to Bob Herskovitz.

Several times a month -- and often once a week -- he runs to his Loop office.

From Glencoe.

Robert Herskovitz of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in Chicago, commutes from Glencoe -- running from there to the Loop, about 20 miles, at least once a week.

That's 20 miles door-to-door, a three-hour trek that begins before sunrise and ends with a shower downtown. He does it year round.

"It gets your motor running," says Herskovitz, 50. "There is such a thing as runner's high."

Herskovitz will take his scenic jog this morning in honor of what used to be called Run to Work Day. The founders of the national event changed the name last year to Run@Work -- after deciding a jogging commute was unrealistic.

Not for Herskovitz. He has been doing it for two years and taking Metra home.

"For regularly running to work, there's no one I know of who is doing that type of mileage. That's impressive," said Jean Knaack, executive director of the Road Runners Club of America, which started Run to Work in 1997.

Herskovitz is deputy regional health administrator in the Midwest office of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. His commute has impressed and inspired his co-workers. That includes his boss.

"We brag about him all the time -- on many topics -- but his fitness certainly draws attention," said Regional Health Administrator Dr. James Galloway.

Herskovitz, who served 22 years in the Navy, has been running since his Senn High School days. He now logs about 40 miles a week, runs four or five official marathons a year and about a dozen unofficial ones.

He usually runs to work on Fridays, at a leisurely pace to save energy. The alarm goes off at 4 a.m., he's out the door before 5, and by 7:45 he's at his health club.

Along the way, he passes Northwestern University, which makes him think of his college-age son Todd, and by the lakefront beach where he used to push his daughter Ann in a stroller.

Then he hits traffic.

"There's nothing better than looking over to the right on Lake Shore Drive, and you see that Jaguar in bumper-to-bumper traffic," he says. "They're probably thinking, 'Look at that knucklehead who is running. He'll probably be at work quicker than me!' "
