The One Runner In the 2011 Boston Marathon The Crowds Are Sure To Adore

Of all the 26,800-or-so runners who will be competing in the 115th running of the Boston Marathon, Patriots Day, April 18, 2011, one is sure to get some of the most enthusiastic encouragement from the half-million expected spectators. That runner is the oldest competitor, 81-year-old Clarence Hartley of Young Harris, Georgia.

The massive crowds will cheer for him, not only in deference to his age, but also because he is surprisingly competitive. You see, Clarence is likely to be in the middle of the action. That’s because he qualified for Boston with a 4-hour-39-minute marathon and has since run an even more impressive 4:26. His goal is a time of 4 hours 20 minutes. To put these times in a little bit of perspective, the average time for male marathon runners in recent years is right around 4:30 (4:32 in 2005; 4:29 in 2007) and their average age is 40, or about half Clarence’s age. The women average close to 5 hours and 34 years of age. From this we can see that Clarence should be right in the middle of the pack — beating thousands of runners young enough to be his children and even his grandchildren.

Lest you think that this octogenarian is just a natural runner who’s been competing all his life, here are a few interesting facts. Clarence witnessed a local race being run in 1998 when he was 68. Thinking that it looked like fun, he took up running and soon was running in local 5K and 10K races, working up to half-marathons. Having caught the running bug, in the ensuing seven years he ran almost 150 races, winning numerous age-group awards. Read the rest of this entry »

Prepare for the Care of Our Loved Ones

The past couple of years have been complicated. My retirement from my life as a middle school teacher and labor leader for a large public school system did not teach me how to provide care for my mother. My arduous two and a half year roller coaster ride with my mother ended on August 23, 2010. Dorothy’s life ended peacefully when she was ninety-two years old.

I wrote this article to help prepare for the care of our parents so we can get off the roller coaster and survive. It will provide us with no regrets, only happiness for the loss of the pain our parents experience. As you know, people are living longer and unfortunately, the aging process can be difficult. Let us make their transition into elder hood a pleasant experience. Here are some facts to help assist all of us and our families. As we age, we will potentially develop common conditions which include dementia, depression, hypertension, osteoporosis, cancer, and heart disease. Since dementia is the number one condition that we are subject to acquire in one form or another, I wanted to explain the signs and stages of this disease so we can better prepare for the care of our loved ones.

As an example, I became aware of my mother’s dementia when she was eighty-four years old. It progressed slowly until the final two years of her life. I consider us lucky because Dorothy’s Vascular Dementia was discovered late in her existence. In addition, she didn’t develop Alzheimer’s until a few months prior to her death.
