light run.

got to 3000 miles for 2018.

1992.

https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1992-12-27-9203080853-story.html

tamarac ran out of water their first year. hah.

-- Most improved race: Tamarac Turkey Trot, Nov. 26, Tamarac City Hall. After running out of water its first year, this low-key event run by the city's recreation department has grown into a top caliber race.

damn .. i had just read about him coming down to SFL in a prior article, to speak/race etc.

-- Worst moment: Elite Masters runner Barry Brown's suicide over the holidays. A frequent visitor to South Florida races and holder of 16 American Masters records, Brown, 48, will be sorely missed.

1990.

Benji Durden coached Mary Menton.. interesting.

https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1990-10-05-9002170923-story.html

CORAL SPRINGS -- The routine has changed now that Mary Level-Menton has a baby daughter and is still in the relatively early stages of a comeback.

Menton, 27, of Coral Springs, was one of South Florida's best runners in 1987-88.

A member of the U.S. marathon team, Menton competed in the 1987 World Championships in Rome, qualified for the '88 Olympic trials at the Houston- Tenneco Marathon and is a 1992 Olympic hopeful.

Menton resumed training this year six weeks after Sara's birth, Feb. 13. Coached by ex-Olympian Benji Durden of Boulder, Colo., Menton is running 70 to 100 miles per week. Only now, she has company on her training runs.

you never heard this anymore .. having a baby improves female running performance:

"My body has definitely changed," Menton said. "Women are faster and stronger because our heart muscles increase in size when the heart is pumping more blood when you have a child. Benji was very conservative with me. We started walking the first day. Then when I wanted to run 6 miles, he would have me do only 2."

cool article. talks about a bunch of stuff.

https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1987-10-07-8703180538-story.html

David Bowden, nationally ranked masters runner. 4:34 mile @ ~41 or something?

he raced a horse..

Bowden, the Boyd Anderson track and cross country coach who recently finished ninth in the New York Road Runners Mercedes Mile on Fifth Avenue in 4:34.98, will race a trotter one-eighth of a mile on the dirt track.

they had a masters championship in palm aire.. i think that's where my grandpa eventually moved.

*-unless noted all races are a.m.

i should highlight the races that are still active.

i have lots of stuff to "put together" eventually.

Keno's first win. (he's one of the best grand masters runners in FL, and grand master marathoners in the US).

https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1998-03-01-9802280168-story.html

Four years after buying his first pair of running shoes and armful of running books, Brian Keno of Fort Lauderdale won his first road race Saturday at the Westfair 5K Run at the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds.

Keno, who turns 36 today, overtook a small pack of runners midway through the race and ran uncontested for the last half-mile to win in 15 minutes and 58 seconds. Keno, a consistent age group finisher, has been running competitively since late 1993.

jingle bell jog, 1984:

The 12th Jingle Bell Jog 5K and Fitness Walk, started in 1984 at the suggestion of Edward Bleckner after undergoing heart bypass surgery, is Saturday at Racal-Datacom in the Sawgrass International Corporate Park. The race begins at 8 a.m.

Defending champions Ronnie Holassie (14:39) of Miami and Mary Level Menton of Coral Springs (16:58) are expected to return. Last year's event attracted 1,400 runners and walkers.

jesus ^^



hah sux.

Because of misplaced race results, the Holiday Fantasy of Lights will not be used in the South Florida Grand Prix Series scoring according to South Florida Striders' president Brian Keno.

A stringer full of runners' names was lost during the race making it impossible to score the race completely an apologetic Keno said. The series will now score only nine races. ...

one of the first chip timed races in SFL, Lighthouse 5k in 1996

https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1996-11-10-9611090276-story.html

In brisk 60-degree weather, the Real Time Champion Chip made its Florida road race debut.

The revolutionary computer scoring system, introduced by Rick Stern of Weston and his company Split Second Timing, alleviates the need for separate chutes, handtimers and volunteers. It was used at Boston and the Olympics.
