June 22-23 schedule
* Saturday is gives participants a chance to be either being painted or overcoming obstacles with the Run or Dye 5K at Fair Park in Dallas, the Pink Run at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, and the F3 5K & Jr Bootcamp and Obstacle Course Challenge in Bonham. Or if you don't mind getting a little wet (which might feel nice on a hot morning), then the Splash Dash in Plano will make sure of that. Now as far as regular runs, the picking is rather slim with the Jogging For Judah 5K and 1-Mile scheduled in Stephenville, and the Fort Worth Runners Club's Three Amigos 4-Mile Run set for Sunday at Trinity Park. And then for weekend warm-ups, the Jogger Summer Series continues Wednesday evening (June 19) at Bachman Lake in Dallas, and the Trinity 5000 resumes Thursday evening (June 20) at the Trinity trails in Fort Worth. See the Calendar for more details.

About 200 runners/walkers showed up for the first Some Like it Hot 5K at Trinity Park on a warm (mid 80s) and humid (felt like 200 percent or thereabouts) morning. The saving grace was the morning was overcast, but female overall winner Cathy Buchanan said the humidity made it difficult to breathe. ''There was no air,'' she said. Alonzo Pollum, 17, a junior at Timber Creek High School in Keller won with a 17:00.9. Buchanan, a 51-year-old masters runner from Fort Worth, took the overall female medal with a 20:29.9. Winning the male masters race was Michael Fussell, 55, of Arlington, whose 18:56 was also second overall. Amy Ewing, 44, of Fort Worth won the female masters division by finishing in 22:01. See photos from the race. See results.
Other June 15 Highlights
* It's not often a father and son can pull off winning the male overall and masters titles, but James Jackson and son Cameron did turn the feat in impressive fashion at the Dadfest 5K in Frisco. Cameron, 18, zipped around the course in 15:22.857 to win the overall male award and James came in at 16:34.519 to win the male masters title. Also, masters runner Sheila Natho (aka Sparkle Plenty) rang up another overall victory with a 20:11.481. Cameron, a Denton Ryan product, had several achievements as a schoolboy, including logging the a 15:05.30 at the Boswell Pioneer Train run, which at the time was the fastest schoolboy time in the 5,000 meters in 2012. Dad James, in his prime, won most of the area's top races, including the Cowtown 10K against most of the DFW's best runners.
* While Timber Creek student Alonzo Pollum, 17, won the male overall title at the first Some Like It Hot 5K at Trinity Park in Fort Worth, the female division was dominated by masters runners who were the top four finishers. Winning overall was Cathy Buchanan, 51, of Fort Worth with a 20:29.5 (all times are chip times). Amy Ewing, 44, followed with a 22:01 to win the masters award, and coming in behind her were Fiona Green, 48, of Keller (22:17.2) and Pamela Toelle, 49, of Fort Worth (22:38.7). Masters runners also took away the overall titles at the Juneteenth Freedom Fest at Cobb Park in Fort Worth. Lisa Brown, 46, won the female title and was the first across the finish line with a 23:16. Male winner Juan Onate crossed the line at 23:41. Photo below is start of the Juneteenth run. Photo submitted by Movin' Pictures.
* Ed Aramayo, 26, made his trip from Baltimore, Md., worthwhile by winning the Must-Dash 5K at Galatyn Park in Richardson by nipping Fernando Garcia, 36, of Richardson by three seconds with a 17:39. Female winner Kim Rogers-Tracy was fourth overall with a 19:14.
* There is some controversy about whether Kailash Narasimhan actually ran a sizzling 14:25.90 (gun time) to win the Summer Solstice 5K on June 16 at White Rock Lake. Some runners contend he turned around at the wrong mark, though he told timers that he didn't. It does seem like a fast time for the runner, whose previous best 5K that an internet search turns up is 23:27.84 (chip time) at the Waterworks at White Rock on Oct. 21, 2012. But only Narasimhan knows for sure, and so far his result hasn't been changed.

The top three finishers of the Trinity 5000 Summer Series on warmish (90s) Thursday night (June 13) were the same three who crossed the line on the first week of the 12-week series at Trinity Park. Leading the threesome is Nicholas Beers, 34, with a 17:56.67. On his heels, Jessica Smith, 35, came in at 18:05:16, and then Todd Reynolds, 45, followed with an 18:09.15. Last week, Todd finished in front of Jessica with a 17:58 with Jessica coming in at 18:11. Nicholas won the first event, which was raced in much cooler weather thanks to earlier rain and a cool front, with a 17:41. While they claimed their second overall male, female and male masters awards, the female masters winners was different as Laura Nelson, 47, won with a 20:41.77. The first week's winner was Angela Eusery. But the series, as the Jogger Summer Series in Dallas on Wednesday nights, isn't all about competition. It also a about camaraderie and socializing. For music lovers, there was plenty as the sounds from the Rock the River, Live on the Trinity was just next door at the Panther Island Pavilion, and 5000 directors Ricky and Demery Cox had a DJ spinning tunes. See a few photos from Week 2.

Gary Anderson has been running since 2002, and he ran a marathon in only his second race. He finished in 3:18:58 at the Motorola Austin marathon and qualified for Boston. Not a bad start. He immediately was bitten by the long-distance bug and has been stringing an impressive record at practically all distances. For example, this year Gary, 51 was the masters winner at Cowtown, was second overall at the Irving Marathon with a 2:58:05.7 and was third overall at the Big D Marathon 3:10:18 on a course that was actually more than a mile long because the lead vehicle took a wrong turn. He dropped back to a 5K for the Buffalo Boogie on May 11 to work on his speed, and conceded it was painful to pick up the pace, but he won another masters title with an 18:58.1. For his accomplishments, Gary has been chosen as the newest Runner in the Spotlight. Read about Gary. |
