Nancy English — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 21:22:48 +0000

I am heading back to Manhattan to begin my senior year at K-State, and the thing I will miss the most about Kansas City is the Kansas City Track Club. I moved to Kansas City for the summer as an intern. Being from a small town, running alone in the city was intimidating. Luckily, I stumbled upon the Kansas City Track Club. Everyone I’ve met has been so incredibly welcoming. Running with this group has made it much easier to venture out into the heat or drag myself out of bed to run early in the morning. With their company, I managed to run the farthest I’ve ever run in my life. Thanks for a great summer, and I can’t wait to come back next year!

Steve Fuller competed in all 50 states & every continent

Nancy English — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 16:27:33 +0000

It would be unfair to call Steve Fuller’s bucket list an actual list. There are just too many categories to it. In the course of a conversation with the North Kansas City attorney, he’ll rattle off the number of Mexican states he’s visited or tell you about his goal of getting to every country in the world. “It’s actually two lists (of countries to visit),” Fuller said. There are the countries in the United Nations he’d like to see and then there are all the sovereign states to visit, which is a much larger list. And Fuller is all about lists. Perhaps his most remarkable is the tally of the 145 marathons he’s run. Fuller claims he is the first person from Kansas City to run a marathon in all 50 states and he’s run the 26.2-mile race on every continent.

There’s alot of buzz about the new Sat 6:30am running group meeting in front of Aixois at 55th St and Brookside Blvd. The plan is to meet your needs wherever you are in your running life. We will have a course mapped out for any distance from 3-12miles. 12 miles this week is where you want to be if you are training for the KC Marathon. If you want to increase your speed or it is a shorter mileage week, a coach will run with you to Mill Creek Park on The Country Club Plaza to do shorter distance and intervals. If you want to go longer than 12 miles, we will have maps for that too! We will leave at 6:35am and run as long or short as you want. If you want to run with a group but don’t see what you need here, then show up and talk with us about it…..we will have what you need in subsequent weeks! Have coffee at Aixois after the run if you have time!

Race Walker National Senior Games in Houston

Nancy English — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:24:37 +0000

The Heartland RaceWalkers competed on June 24-25th in the National Senior Games in Houston, TX. The weather was hot and humid. All competitors had won medals in their state games. The 1500-meter race was held at a high school track (35 miles from Houston) that had been upgraded to world-class status in order to be ready for the National Junior Olympics in 2012. The 5K race was on the concrete around the Reliant Arena (4 loops). In an all-too-common goof, they had mis-measured the course and the final distance was probably about 300 meters short, hence the excellent times.Several PR’s were set. Jean Brunnenkant won a Gold Medal in her 5th different age-division (75-79; 80-84; 85-89; 90-94; 95-99)!! Alan Poisner also won another Gold in a new age-division (70-74; 75-79).
