What the Prez-Elect Says

Beginning with the Texas Marathon in Kingwood on New Year’s Day and ending with the first annual Bill Crews Remission Run on the 31st, January was a very active month for our club members. The single biggest day found 143 club members participating in the Chevron Houston Marathon, Aramco Half Marathon or the EP 5K. Many posted very good performances with 19 of our club members clocking times to punch their tickets to Boston. Our annual Houston Marathon post-race party was held at Goose’s Acre for the third year in a row and we had a great turnout for the celebration with nearly 100 attending to share their event day experiences. On Sunday afternoon, March 29, TWRC will hold its first general membership meeting of the new year. There will be at least one item of business in addition to the always fun social. The Club's membership will be asked to vote on the officers for 2009-2010. The current nominees are as follows: Kerri Snyder - vice president/president elect; Pam Meaux – Treasurer, Mary Kerschbaum – Secretary and Mike Csikos – Registrar. Bill Dwyer will move from vice president to president as outlined in the club bylaws. Of course, additional nominations are welcomed and encouraged. Thanks go out to Ann Leoni and Jim Braden who volunteered their time to function as our Nomination Committee. E-vites and more information about our General Membership Meeting will be sent soon. In other business the Dan Green Scholarship Fund is getting closer to becoming a reality.

It is the Board’s intent to grant two $1,000 scholarships (1 female, 1 male) to May 2009 graduates. Kristin Collins and Tom Battle are currently serving as the TWRC Scholarship Committee helping to establish the guidelines for these awards. The HARRA Spring Series is under way with the Buffalo Wallow 6K and Park to Park 5 Miler already in the books. We had good representation at both events that will be reported on in March’s Deer Tracks. The HARRA Competition Series adds an additional element of competition with other local clubs – making local events a little more fun. And, you don’t have to be fast to score club points. Always feel free to contact any TWRC board member with a suggestion to improve our club. Your Board continues to work hard to respond and guide our club in the best interest of our membership. Bill Dwyer

HARRA Club Report Like the rest of our fellow HARRA affiliated clubs, we regularly celebrate the running accomplishments of our members and let you know a little bit of what is going on up here in The Woodlands as we continue to strive to be the voice in 2009 for our sport in Montgomery County and northern Harris County. We all know that it takes more than a good Board to make a running club successful. It takes people who are willing to sacrifice and give of themselves on a regular basis. While our “Deer Tracks” newsletter editor Bill Dwyer gets more photographs in to every issue than Hershey’s has chocolate, 62-year-old retired geologist and master gardener Mike Mendeck for most of the last two years has produced a very well-written “In The Spotlight” profile on many of our members. From his initial profile of Buck and Kerri Snyder in May 2007 to Bill and Dana-Susan Crews to close 2008, Mike has worked to unveil more than just the runner of some of our members. In last year’s September issue, he even turned the spotlight on himself to share the blessing that running has cast upon him after being diagnosed 10 years ago with medullary thyroid cancer and his efforts to live a full healthy, successful life. Mike passes the reins in 2009 of our popular “Deer Tracks” feature to Dana-Sue Crews, but to he and his wife, Meg, we say thanks for your time! If you ever hear the words, “Here, take a picture for me”, it’s likely the voice behind it is that of Debbie Tripp. Our August 2008 edition of “Deer Tracks” featured nearly 30 pictures of Debbie with over 60 of her running friends. Since the club’s inception, she has been one of its most active volunteers and has served many roles including Social Coordinator, but now has completely streamlined everything involving our club’s t-shirts and running singlets. She keeps us looking good and green! Jana Jordan and Carrie Davies have admirably taken the lead as our Social Coordinators and have been responsible for initiating and responding to membership meeting e-vites and e-mails as well as planning and implementing those events with the precision of Haile Gebreselassie marathon. Jana and her husband, Carey’s, beautiful facility, “Town Hall Texas”, in Conroe has served as the venue for many of our club socials. And a running club wouldn’t be without actual runs! With the help of Carlos Ortegon, every Sunday TWRC offers a group long run that is coordinated by JoAnn Blakeley, who we dubbed the “Queen of the Queensboro Bridge” after her 3:20 performance last November in New York City. Yes, Blakeley is both fast and friendly, but plans routes – and e-mailed, of course - each week for those seeking longer and shorter distances to aid in their marathon and half marathon training – or for purely social benefits. And even though Molly Field-Stout and Lynette Pebernat finished the half marathon at New Year’s Day Texas Marathon in Kingwood and that Les Ellsworth goes for the Texas Trilogy with last month’s Bandera 100K and this month’s Rocky Raccoon 100, it is our members who contribute off of the results page that makes our club what it is. Please check us out on the web at www.thewoodlandsrunningclub.org for our scheduled runs, club events and download a copy of “Deer Tracks” while you’re there. "Editor’s Note: This is our TWRC club report that will appear in the February edition of the HARRA Footprints newsletter in Inside Texas Running. It is reviewed and approved by the club president before its submission to HARRA.

In The Spotlight

Member Profile – Mike Csikos By Dana-Sue Crews

“Happiness is magic rays of sunshine that come down when you’re feeling blue.” That famous quote came from the movie Waterboy, but when Mike Csikos hears it, he thinks of his hero, his son Christopher. It’s because of Christopher that Mike runs marathons and feels inspired to continue raising funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training. In the summer of 2000, just after his second birthday, Christopher was diagnosed with leukemia. Mike and his wife Lisa endured more than three years of their son’s treatments including chemotherapy and two bone marrow transplants. Their daughter Michaela was her brother’s donor for one of those transplants. The Csikos family was blessed by Christopher’s strength and perseverance during his battle against cancer. His joy and confidence and love for sports had him out in the halls of Texas Children’s Hospital playing golf with plastic clubs, never letting his IV pole slow him down. Although Christopher fought like a true champion, they could not cure his disease. Mike and Lisa were with him on December 11, 2003 when he

took his last breath at the age of five. “He bravely and courageously battled leukemia for 3 ½ years. He lived his life to the fullest and was an inspiration to everyone who knew him. Christopher’s smile and wit had a way of charming us all,” says Mike. It was only a few months after his death that Mike decided to join Team in Training to raise funds and awareness for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. He has continued to run marathons in his son’s honor and memory. His marathon PR is 3:28 and his short term goal is to run a Boston qualifier. If you see Mike Csikos out running on Saturday mornings along the Flintridge hills, you don’t see sorrow. You see those magical rays of sunshine in his face. His hero inspires him from Heaven, while those of us who know Mike are inspired by him.
