Zoomers Southwest Florida Running and Triathlon Club is better
known as simply Zoomers. The club was started in 1996 by a small
group of runners who dreamed of a running club in Charlotte
County to promote fitness through running, swimming and biking.
This is the area around Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte, between
Sarasota and Fort Myers, which got hit pretty hard when Hurricane
Charley came ashore, for those who are not otherwise familiar with
southwest Florida. They belong to the RRCA (Road Runners Club of
America), like most of the clubs in Florida, and currently have almost
200 members comprised of doctors, lawyers, retirees, children and
people of all vocations. Zoomers performs the race timing for
approximately 20 races per year and growing. Its member business
meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month at 7 PM and
are currently held at the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce
Building, in Port Charlotte, Florida. Come run the races or volunteer
to work the finish line. And please check out their website at
www.zoomersrun.com!
The president position is jointly held by Debi Lantzer and Kimmi van
der Veen. Debi has been a (long distance) friend of ours for a while.
We helped her sell a bike through our classified ads and communicate
occasionally on topics from training to running clubs.
If you live in southwest Florida you should definitely check out
Zoomers, run their races, and join the club!

"Team Blind Runner" Randall Crosby

Titusville
"Team Blind Runner"

Randall Crosby of Titusville
shows the positive attitude
we all need to find. Randall
was sighted until a gradual
loss of vision due to
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)
ending in total blindness
by the age of 27 (now 48).

Randall says he likes to focus on what he can do and not on what he
can’t do; after all we all have limitations. He recently completed his
first full marathon at Disney in January and is training for a half iron
man triathlon. You think you have challenges trying to train? How
about having to find a sighted friend to run with for every training
run. Randall's story and life are inspirational. To read more, go to his
website "Team Blind Runner" (http://www.teamblindrunner.com/).

John L. Parker was the SEC champion in the mile...3 times...back in the 70's. Then he started writing. In 1978 he
published the critically acclaimed book "Once a Runner". It tells the story of a college miler Quentin Cassidy, his life as a
competitive runner, and his struggles to rise to another level. This is perhaps the most entertaining book ever written if
you are a runner. You will relate to something on every page "He was merely trying to slip into a lifestyle that he could
live with, strenuous but not unendurable by any means..." and with chapters like "The Race" and "The Morning Run",
this book is truly memorable. As Kenny Moore put it, "By far the most accurate fictional portrayal of the world of the
serious runner...a marvelous description of the way it really is". The hero is an upper classman trying to lead a
"Southern University" track team to greatness (actually University of Florida, but to avoid litigation, John fictionalizes the
characters). As the book says, "Quentin Cassidy had run one mile in 4:00.3 and despite the near indifference of the
sporting world, four minute milers are still very nearly as rare a bread as, say, astronauts". Training with his mentor, a
past gold medalist Bruce Dentin (Frank Shorter or Mart Liquori?), Quentin struggles with the competition and school
politics until finally getting to the race he wants. This book was the most sought after out-of-print book of any kind in
the world in 2007. It was finally re-released April 7, 2009 and is available now. I got an early copy and read it 3 times
before buying the sequel, "Again to Carthage". This is my favorite book of all time, closely edging out "Pre" (though Pre
is my all-time favorite running personality) and "Ultramarathon Man" by Dean Karnazas. That is saying something! You
should get it and read it today!

She Did It!!!!
50 States Down, 50 Miles Per Day!
Lisa Smith Batchen, known by some for her role in the Badwater
movie "Running on the Sun", ran 50 miles in one day in each of the
50 states in 2 months. No one else has ever even attempted this
feat. Dean Karnazas ("Ultramarathon Man") ran a marathon a day in
each state, but this is almost twice that distance.
Lisa started April 19, 2010. She started in New Jersey and completed
state 50 on June 19th. Lisa was trying to raise $1,000,000 for
charities to benefit orphans. She was accompanied by friends that
bussed her from state to state overnight, allowing her a few hours
sleep before she got up to run for 12 hours again the next day. To
read more, or to find out how you can help:
read the complete story ->>>.

Lisa finishing Badwater (135 miles in Death Valley in July before
climbing Mount Whitney). As customary, her crew runs across
the line with her. The crazy part is that she is still smiling!
