You
can't stop Dennis Branham, you can only hope to contain him! The
80-year-old club standout recently ran in the USA
Masters Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Sacramento State
University in Sacramento, California and excelled in four events. In
the men's 80-84 group, he took first in
the 1,500 (6.51.49) and 5,000 meters (24.40.80) and was
second behind 81-year-old Earl Fee of Canada
in the 400 (1:31.77) and 800 meters (3:16.71). Way
to go, Dennis! By the way, Dennis is ranked No. 1 in the U.S. in
the 800, 1,500 and 5,000 meters!

It's
not too early to think about making plans to attent the annual Red
Rooster Ramble awards party on Thursday, Sept. 9 at the Warren
Soccer Club on 132 Child Street, just a hop, skip, and a jump away from
the race headquarters at the Market Street Pub! Pizza and appetizers
will be provided, and people are welcome to bring salads, deserts, etc.
Dave Simmons is taking a head count of the attendees, and if you
plan on showing up, please e-mail Dave at dasimrun@yahoo.com.

Fred
Zuleger has made the big time! National running publication Running Times
has a story about Fred titled "Race For Life" on page 36 in its Sept.
2010 issue! It's not online on its web site, so you're going to have to
hit the newsstand for a copy.

Photos
from this summer's Common
Fence Point 5-Mile Race and the club's clambake
have been posted. And a special thanks to the Thirsty Irish Runners Club
for joining us in both events!

RIRR
member Milt Schumacher will be coordinating
Monday night track
workouts at the Smithfield High
track on Pleasant View Ave in
Greenville. Warmups will be at 4:30 p.m., and a workout of 2-3 miles of
varying distance intervals will follow. All workouts are open to anyone
regardless of speed, experience, or
affiliation.
Milt recently said: "Could you be a Trackie? OK, I just made up that
handle, but it occurs to me that most of us hear or read of, or see,
other runners track experience and think "perhaps that is something I
should try." I heartily recommend that you find out for
yourself. Join us on Monday afternoons at 4:30-5:30 at the
Smithfield High School track on Route 116 in Greenville. Our
numbers have been lower than average this year, due to weather
conditions, injuries, frequent after-school activities crowding us off
the track (those occasions send us a quarter-mile away to the
wide-open, but soft surface grassy soccer complex). Now is the perfect
time to join us for your initiation (or return). If you want to race
faster, you have to train faster (safer, less destructive, and perhaps
more fun than just using your races to get faster).
For more
information, see the link above or
e-mail miltschumacher@hotmail.com.
