Over the past two years the clubhas purchased two re la t i ve ly expens i ve s ta r te rs p i s to l s ; w e have a l sohad two donated. During those twoyears we have had various combinat i o n s o f m a l f u n c t i o n s a n d l o s s o ft h e s e d e v i c e s . O u r l a t e s t fi a s c o i nvo lved an expens ive gun which wasd o n a t e d t o t h e c l u b a n d s e r v i c e d t oinsure trouble free use; in typicalTRRC fashion the thing jammed andwe wound up wi th our usual "ready,set...go" start.

Without botheringabout the cumbersome backjgrounddetails the bottom line is this: Buysometh i ng cheap and tacky enoughand you'll have it forever . . . and theth ing wi l l work every t ime; and i f i tdoesn't . . .or if you lose it. whocares because the thing was cheapand tacky and you didn't expect i t tow ork anyw ay .

The c l ub now ow ns th ree p l as t i ccap guns at $1.59 each; they workgreat - never jam and are loud. If welose one. we break out the second; ifwe lose or break that one. we fetchthe third one; if we lose the third?. .. well, the thing was cheap andt acky . . .

Folk Focus by Bob BerginBob Burbank: Made of Special Ingredients

The following recipe, if followedclosely, will yield a very determinedlong distance runner who hasn't yetcompleted 2 years of running but istraining for his 6th (that 's right,6th ) major marathon;Take 1, 39-year-old tennis playerwho wants to stay in shape for hisfavorite sport which he's been playing about 3 mornings per week at6 : 3 0 a . m .

Add a suddenly crazy desire tocelebrate your 40th birthday by running in the Boston Marathon.Mix with a strong will and the determination to meet a rather toughgoal for a beginning runner and what(or whom) have you got?Bo b Bu rb a n k . n o w 4 0 , f a th e r o fthree teenagers from Yorktown ist h e a n s w e r .

Bob Burbank- Photo by Judy PickertBob has been a financial analystfor I.B.M. for the past 14 years andworks out of Valhalla, N Y. He liveswith his wife Kathryn who has alsobeen dabbling in running (the sportis contagious, we know) as well ashis 16-year-old gymnast daughterand two younger teenage children.Four weeks before his 39th birthday he decided to celebrate his 40thb y r u n n i n g t h e B o s t o n M a r a t h o n .Within four weeks he was up to 50miles per week but he paid for the

overly hungry pace with an injuryand a trip to the doctor. During hisrecovery, Bob found out that to runin Boston one must qualify for theevent. Suprised. but still determined,he changed his sights, and focused,i n s t e a d , o n N e w Y o r k . B o b w e n tfrom a total beginner in March 78.trained throughout the summer, andamazingly ran his first marathon inOctober '78. Needing a 3:15 to qualify for Boston. Bob ran New York in3:27. Did that stop him? Of coursenot Bob would qualify six weeksl a t e r w i t h a 3 : 1 2 a t B a l t i m o r e a n dwo u ld , t h e re b y , g e t t h e c h a n c e t omeet his birthday goal of April '79.

B o b r a n B o s t o n i n 3 : 1 7 b u t h a ssince repeated New York in 3:10:10(missing the new Boston qualifyingtime by 10 seco nds ) but qualifiedagain with a 3:08 in Baltimore.Bob is currently planning to celebrate birthday number 41 by running

i n h i s 6 t h m a r a t h o n i n B o s t o n i nApril. This has all occured within twoyears of Bob's first investment inrunning shoes

Although Bob has always beenathlet ic , inc luding a present interestin skiing and tennis, his other side includes an interest in oil painting andmusic wr i t ing . He admi ts , however ,t h a t r u n n in g i s u n q u e s t i o n a b l y h i snumber one hobby although thosew h o k n o w h i m a l i t t l e b e t t e r w o u l dswear that wood cutting is at least aclose second. (I think he's presentlyworking on wood for the winter of1 9 8 6 )Bob's running philosophy is simple- he loves marathons. Other particularly enjoyable events have beenthe Albany 18.7 mile race and theTiticus Reservoir 7 miler. (Hey Bob,what about L incoln Hal l?) New YorkCity, however, is, without a doubt,Bob's ult imate racing experience.Bob 's goa ls i n runn ing inc ludebreaking the 3 hour barrier in any ofthe long ones and, secondari ly,breaking 6 minutes per mile for alOK. Bob hopes to be under 3 hoursin Boston and has recently beentraining at faster paces during his 8t o 1 0 m i l e w o r k o u t s .

In terms of his TRRC membership.Bob is happy to be in the Clubbecause of the Club's philosophywhich he cons iders non-e l i t i s t . TheClub, he feels, tries to help all runners no matter what the ability orspeed level of its participants. Bobespecially enjoys the Wednesdaynight runs at Mohansic during thewarmer seasons and is already looking forward to the first Wednesday inMay.Bob's friendliness, and spirited att i t u d e m a k e h i m a w e l c o m e a d d i t i o nt o t h e T R R C .

D i f f e r e n t R e a s o n sT h a n G r o u c h o ' sBy Bob Bergin"I think I'll join a club and beatyou over the head with it." Immortalwords spoken by the in imi tab leGroucho Marx during one of his nowalmost 50-year -o ld fami ly f ro l icsthey referred to as motion picturesin the 1930's. Although Groucho hadh is own reasons fo r c lub jo in ing , I

thought it might be appropriate toexamine some of the reasons for being a member of ours.Well . we al l know about the running gear discounts and the newsletter (you're reading it, aren't you?)and the discount at many races andthe races themse lves fo r tha t matt e r . B u t w h a t a b o u t s o m e o f t h emore intangible tangibles? The mostimportant reason for joining any organization would logically imply aperson's belief in that organizations'reasons for existance. They wont tobe part of something - they areproud to be counted as members.One doesn't join a choir unless onelikes to associate with singing: onedoesn't join a running club unlessone likes to associate with running.

Jingle Jog A Success...Despite Erskine No ShowBy Judy Pickert

Bill Rogers has done it, and nowa b o u t 5 0 T R R C m e m b e r s a n d f r i e n d shave also. No, not a sub 2:10 marathon - a Jingle JogMany arrived with flashlights andwith bel ls on their laces as i f theirjingling steps were just a part of theordinary. Others seemed to enjoythe daring nature of venturing forth.Others arrived with Christmas Spiritto jog and sing, but had no intentions of adding bells to what was designed by Nike or Adidas.However, as their psychologicallyunencumbered neighbors were making last minute preparations, thehesitant began attaching bells asthey insecurly glanced about fromthe corner of their eyes. For stillothers the challenge lay only in thethoughts of coordinating breathingwith running, singing, and readingthe bouncing words.

It did not take long to master thefiner techniques of jingle jogging. Wequick ly el iminated "J ingle Bel ls"

from our repertoire. It evoked such'moving' spiri t that (as original lyfeared by some) the pace causedthe breathing to prevail over thesinging (?). Shortly after it becamea p p a r e n t t o o u r p a c e s e t t e r , J o h nD'Angelo, that jingle jogging was nota new training method, we stoppedlong enough to knock on severaldoors. We sang (loudly) and left littledoubt that our strengths lay not inour singing, but in our ChristmasSpir i t and abi l i ty to cover moremelodic miles than the average walking caroler.

Following the jingle jogging wej o i n e d o u r " e l i t i s t " p r e s i d e n t ,f r iends, and fami ly a t CampSycamore for the promised Christmas Ce lebra t ion in t rad i t iona l TRRCstyle - the style this time due mainlyt o t h e e f f o r t s o f B a r b a r a W a l s h .Larry Gerberth and club memberJohn Vangor entertained with galaguitars.O t h e r t h a n , " w h e r e w a s J o e ?

Remembering Frank...Wanting to Moid Him

The following is an excerpt fromO n T h e R o a d : T h e M a r a t h o n w r i t t e nby Jim Shapiro, Crown PublishingInc.. 1978.

When I was an Olympian, as myevent-the marathon-approached, Iprayed only to do my best, feelingtha t to hope fo r v ic to ry when therewere 42 kilometers of rough road tocover somehow presumptuous . I realize now that I was freed by this,that driving to the limit, with a fullappreciation of the odds against winning. allowed me entry into a splendid region, filled with wonderful performers at peace even as we ran.When Frank Shorter won our race inMunich, he did not throw his handsskyward at first, but clasped them tohis head, saying to himself, "My

We were caught inthe melancholy that follows a well-run race deepened now by the griefso f t h e G a m e s . N e i t h e r o f u s s a i dmuch, but the feeling persisted thatsomething ought to be said . . ."You know." I said, "all this time I

thought the Olympic champion wassomebody incredibly special."Frank gave me a consoling look asthough he would have liked to prot e c t m e f r o m t h i s fi n a l d i s i l l u s i o nment. "And then you found out," hesaid, "that it was only me."Clearly since then Shorter has become more than just somebody whoruns marathons. As with Bikila, thereis some special lightness and fluidityabout the way he runs. This slendermarathoner's build, set against theenormity of his achievement, hashelped make him the king of marath-oning in America. The boom in mar-athoning s ince Munich happened

partly because of what he was andd i d .
