2013 Freeze Your Gizzard Blizzard Recap by Tom Conklin
The 8th annual FREEZE trail run/walk lived up to its name on Saturday, December 28, 2013 as all 81 participants lined up in pursuit of their particular goal in a 27 degree fog. Two racers in particular faced the weather for over a three hour challenge in the half marathon category. These two area superwomen, Judy Powell and Diana Pishion, were on a special quest to complete walking 13 half marathons (13.1 miles) in 2013 (one half marathon per month), finishing on the slippery surface in 3 hours & 20 minutes. These two warriors chose to start their quest at 8 am, two hours before the official starting time.
This year’s race was held at the new Lewis and Clark Festival Park, which offered many new features for all participants.
About the Jumpstart Race Series
The FREEZE race is the first of three Jumpstart Winter Three Race Series. These winter events are extra elementary physical education, curriculum credit for all District 21 area elementary students. Dry Hollow Elementary physical education specialist, JR Runyon, Chenowith specialist, Sammy Tennison and Colonel Wright specialist, Tom Conklin have worked to create an alternate activity to get our students out onto the Columbia River Trail during the winter months. These are at no charge, in the hopes of keeping youth and adults active during the slower metabolic months of winter.
The goal for these winter trail events, is threefold, 1. To create an opportunity for folks to test their fitness on a flat, safe trail, train for another month and return in February for the Valentine’s event, and test your fitness against the same course, train for another month and finish with a final fitness test in March at the St. Patty’s Trail run/walk. Two months is enough time to see improvement in your running or walking fitness, if you get out 3-5 times per week. The weight loss is a side benefit of this type of long range fitness planning. 2. Get folks out and moving, hopefully student’s can stir this activity within their own households. 3. To raise much needed funds for good causes.
The Jumpstart Series raises funds for the Colonel Wright Elementary Physical Education program and the Jumpstart Summer Basketball Program in Dufur.
