e for for for is is hello everybody I'm skip Alzheimer welcome to the a Geeks lunchtime streaming show uh where we watch old 16mm films and forget to mute our browser that we use for a uh audio sound check um yeah that the imagery in that film strip I love it uh all the film strip of the month film strips that I have are so good so good um I know that you guys miss me uh we had some crazy weather that came through right during lunch and um we didn't we ended up not losing power significantly but um it's a Gamble and we've certainly had it go out in this neighborhood because we have a lot of trees so and there's trees all around our neighborhood so um but I know you're missing uh our favorite uh uh marionette in um Iran the Middle East um thankfully they're back here's hja and the thief enjoy [Music] here is a window in your own village perhaps or in a nearby town if only we could look inside ah thank you that is much better now we don't have to guess at all for this is obviously our favorite coffee house harid the young radical is sitting alone instead of with our friends borhan and the wise shik but what is the news they are so anxious to hear it must be very important if harid has stopped talking to listen the fighting which has just broken out in another Asian country disorder and panic are sweeping the capital city as government officials Flee for their lives from the wild gunfire of the heavily armed Rebels there can be no doubt that these Rebels are being reinforced by a certain power ah the government of that country was no God it is high time they were thrown out of office aan coming over Northern borders and spraying the roads with machine gun bullets as thousands of helpless people flee the cities earlier today it was made know from the north that a certain they deserve it all the people of that country live in a rotten Society A revolution is the only path to progress it's too bad we can't turn you off with a click of the switch what appeared to start as rioting against the traditional government by a small radical party has now turned into armed Warfare on a full scale directed by foreign military officials and supported by the powerful war machines of the country to the north this is progress not War I know harid whoever resists the coming of new radical governments must be pushed aside the people are to blame for resisting progress and so is their rotten government which permits such out ofd ideas as religion private business and different political parties hared are you blaming the this violence on the very government and people who are being attacked who else could possibly be to blame perhaps these outside Powers who have been trying to spread their radical way of life by any means are the ones we should blame for all this killing and violence I look where the trouble is for the cause not in outside countries uhhuh I see you would let the thief Run free to do more damage the thief offendy yes I was remembering a story about nasaden HOA a thief and some villagers who did not put blame where it was due listen harid there is a lesson in this story for you [Music] one soft summer night long ago the Silvery Moon beams that played among the Shadows were not the only visitors in nasaden hoa's village [Music] on this particular night nazarine was halfway through a most enjoyable dream when he woke himself up and called to his wife quick woman my spectacles I want my spectacles answering his wife's angry protest the hoer explained I'm having a beautiful dream and I must see one or two things more clearly but by now the haer's dream was gone and the only thing he could see clearly was the face of a thief [Music] help Thief I've been robbed there's a thief in the village stop him stop the thief help help Thief I've been robbed [Music] help outside the haer's house the villagers finally learned the sad news nasar adin's donkey had been stolen but instead of sympathizing with him his neighbors grew more and more indignant come now HOA was your door locked H look at that what do you expect when you don't have an iron bolt on your door a second villager was even more incensed you call yourself a wise man you do not teach your donkey to Bray when a thief approaches anyone can learn to Bray he this was by no means the end of their advice huh just as I thought why didn't you build a bigger and stronger fence around your donkey hocha this one would blow down in a stiff [Music] breeze by this time nasar rine was both confused and unhappy his precious donkey was gone and all he heard was criticism another thing hota not only should you have put a strong lock on the courtyard door you should have known enough to take the key to bed every night and hide it under your pillow this was the last straw cutting the villagers short the hota invited them to leave his house at once [Music] watching them go the hota had a final word of advice for them you tell me about a better luck a stronger fence my donkey trained to sound an alarm and what to do with the key and you blame these things on me the victim but what about the thief isn't he to blame at all before they could answer the villagers learned that each of them too had been robbed in the night while they had been busy lecturing nasar Adine forgetting the HOA the villagers fled back to their own homes but his words rang out after them what about the thief isn't he to blame isn't the thief to blame Hamid is not listening what a shame the most ignorant are the last to learn but we are all wiser now when we hear a free Nation suddenly exploding in Revolution people are well aware that the foreign power which gives weapons to local radicals will demand in return that these same radicals and Partyline followers come to rule when the fighting is ended yes Boran this is a great power expanding violently no matter how they try to disguise it as local revolutions but as long as we know enough to put the blame for outbreaks of violence where the blame is due we can protect ourselves from the true danger this is what the simple lesson of nasaden HOA means to us today [Music] [Music] wow yeah um it's it's great uh some of you talked about uh the Jerry Anderson uh animation or the p puppet puppet mation or I can't remember what he called it dynamation anyways um they all kind of can blur together I think um Jerry Anderson's stuff is all this wonderful Intrigue and spine it shows up in a c in like Thunderbirds and other things um but also this optimistic view of the the future and all the hajja hja uh things are about imperialism so it's really kind of fascinating um so this is a weird Coronet film and maybe you can help me figure out why it just sits so weird uh I've never heard of it before um and that's one of the great things in scanning a bunch of this stuff is we're finding titles that never got big distribution and so this one is like huh so maybe you can help me put my finger put the finger on why this is not a typical cornet film this is bear hunt [Music] enjoy when the editor of the Town paper announced a snapshot content test he didn't know what he was starting Tom and Martha are a lively pair of kids when they get it into their heads to enter a contest you can just bet things will start popping their friends officer Mulligan and Captain Sweeney might guess that they too would get involved in the contest even though they are very dignified men on the way to Tom's house to get his camera the kids discuss what kind of picture might win the contest maybe a handsome shot of the new town hall maybe a fancy portrait of the mayor oh but what's this there's something here and the contest is forgotten well what do you know a polar bear skin now it so happens that Herman hustle weight has chosen this time to deliver groceries to Tom's [Music] house yes sir Herman has come to deliver the groceries now you might not think so to look at him but Herman is a very bright boy he's been to school if anyone tried to tell Herman that he'd ever meet anyway Herman did deliver the groceries now Herman has different ideas about polar [Music] bears Mr Howard a neighbor of Tom's gets a look [Music] he thinks it's a good joke and Herman well you know about [Music] him Mrs wilon is another neighbor probably she also thinks that polar bears belong in zoos yes no doubt that's what she thinks [Music] coming back for Mrs Wilton's Martha remembers the snapshot contest why not take the be skin down in the woods and set up a real action picture I'll wear my hunting cap says Tom and we'll pretend it's a Bear Hunt Mrs wilon is not pretending it's a real bear she saw it even if she does have trouble speaking calmly enough to explain matters to the [Music] police yes sir when the editor announced that snapshot contest he little knew he was starting a bear hunt [Music] now Captain Sweeney and officer Mulligan had their doubts about this wild polar bear they figured it was probably some big white cat that had frightened Mrs wilon but they answered the call with promptness and with dignity as I said they're very dignified men that right says Captain Sweeney H A Bear well we'll catch him hey Mulligan well there might be what do you know about bears Mrs wilon knows plenty she saw look here the Bear's footprint no doubt about it now we'll take over Mrs winon says Captain Sweeney all right Mulligan uh we'd better take notes who's got a pencil I have to keep notes you got a notepad must keep notes well we don't need any notes now we'll Circle the house and creep up on the bear you go that way I'll go this way uh suppose you go this way I'll go that way [Music] [Music] at this crucial moment Mrs wilon spies an old friend coming down the street none other than Professor winr J BB as anyone can tell by looking at him professor BB knows more about bears than well then Bears know about Professor BB back from their diligent search of the grounds Sweeney and Mulligan are ready to give up the [Music] hunt but Mrs wilon isn't giving up neither is the professor he's just warming up to showing these policemen some real detective [Music] work aha bare hair no time to lose Mr wilon you get a large pan officers you wait here I shall return at [Music] once a quick lesson in camera technique and Martha's all set to take that prize snap SN shot of Tom the big bear [Music] hunter there that ought to win a prize or will it anyway it's been hard work and Martha's thirsty so away to the spring [Music] well Mrs wilon has the pan the professor asked for Sweeny and Mulligan still have their dignity or or most of it and the professor what does he have yes it's bear bait now maybe the professor isn't really as crazy as some people think he has spent a lifetime studying the habits of various wild animals he knows the particular foods that different animals prefer the special blend of foods in the pan is known to be a specially attractive to Bears that's right bears [Music] goodbye Professor goodbye so that's the end of the bear hun or is it e [Music] [Applause] [Music] unseen by the officers Martha and Tom returned from the spring their picture made they're all set to take the bare skin and stuffing and return home while the hunters stalk their prey it's a heavy load though and a steep hill while the hunters stalk their [Music] prey the kids park the bear skin while they C the rest of the stuff up the [Music] hill while the hunters moving stealthily come ever closer Tom sees [Music] them now for a real picture [Music] [Applause] yes sir that's how Tom got his picture of the bear hunt a picture of those gentlemen of great dignity oh yes of course it won the [Music] contest I don't know some of you noticed it um seemed a little zany a little zany a little too wacky for cornette um maybe in the late 60s or 70s because there's not a clear educational um you know message here so This falls into the language arts and uh unfortunately I didn't have program notes for this so or teachers notes that's you know said this is what we hope to teach the kids so my guess is that this is something that it's a story uh and then it gets kids excited and then you get them to write their own story about whatever so that's that's my take all right what do we got um you know some plants are very different but surprisingly many are very alike this film will tell us more about that enjoy this is a more this is a cornette film this it's clear what it is enjoy [Music] one day in Spring Karen and her brother Larry went with Dad to a plant nursery to buy some seeds for their Garden so many beautiful plants there were tall plants and short plants there were plants growing in the sunlight and plants growing in shade there were so many kinds of plants Larry knew a little about some of them he knew the large plants like trees and mediumsized plants like shrubs and bushes and smaller plants like these with colorful flowers Karen knew the name of these plants which they had grown in their Garden last year they are patunas some have white flowers some have dark red but they all have the same shape then Larry noticed something else the petunia has a different shape than this flower on a nearby plant and this one is different from this one on still another plant so different plants have different kinds of flowers differences are often easy to see but plants are alike in certain ways too all the plants growing here no matter what their size or shape are alike in one way they all need food to live and grow the white patches on the log are plants too they are called fungi fungi usually grow in damp Shady places like a forest there are many kinds of fungi they take their food from Dead or decaying matter mushrooms are one kind of fungi we may be familiar with one way all fungi are alike is that they don't have the green coloring matter called chlorophyll all green plants have chlorophyll which they use in making their own food from minerals in the soil and from water air and sunlight chlorophyll gives most stems and leaves of plants their familiar green color Larry wanted to know how green plants get the minerals and other materials they need to make their food let's see how a plant like this tree gets some of the materials it needs to make food if we take the covering off we'd see the soil in which the tree is growing and if we could look into this soil we see the roots of the tree minerals and water from the soil move into the roots and then up into the stem of the tree the trunk of a tree is its stem through the stems of green plants minerals and water pass into their leaves leaves are another way in which most green plants are alike in the leaves is most of the chlorophyll which green plants use to make food so most green plants are alike in three ways they have leaves stems and Roots but if green plants have leaves stems and Roots why don't they all look alike mainly because over many thousands of years green plants have developed in different ways let's see some of these differences we'll look at some different kinds of roots first Roots we know help green plants take in minerals and water the roots of trees usually grow deep down in the soil and help keep these large plants from toppling over the roots of some green plants however don't grow as deep let's look at this grass that's just been dug up many of the grasses we use for our Lawns have shallow roots they spread out just below the top of the ground these roots often cross and crisscross each other like a mat they help hold the soil together and keep it from being washed or Blown Away many garden flowers have a main root that grows down into the soil if we visited a farm at Harvest Time we'd see that many vegetable plants have main Roots too vegetables like carrots radish and turnips have main Roots which store much of the food the plants make we use such roots for our own food now what about different kinds of stems of green plants Vines are sometimes called climbing plants because as they grow their long stems cling to a wall or other support the large vine on this house has stems that that twine around supports to hold the plant up some Vines like the morning glory with its flowers twine around larger more sturdy plants the thin stems of the morning glory grow tightly around the larger stronger plant most of the larger green plants like shrubs and bushes have stems that are stiff and Woody and of course trees too have hard Woody stems like this many smaller green plants have softer stems some green plants have unusual stems that grow underground many of our garden flowers like lies tulips and gladiolas grow from underground stems underground stems are sometimes called bulbs roots and leaves grow from an underground stem and what about some of our vegetable plants that part of the onion plant we eat is an underground stem these potatoes are underground stems too now that we've seen different kinds of stems and Roots let's look at leaves these water lies have leaves that float on water what else can we notice about them they are green like all green leaves that make food on the underside we can see the veins that carry the food materials of the leaf what other plants have broad flat leaves some of the green plants we eat like lettuce have large broad leaves many kinds of trees have flat broad leaves such leaves are very common among trees that lose their leaves in the Autumn these leaves make enough food during the Spring and Summer to keep the trees alive during the winter after the leaves fall but some trees are different in that they have leaves that stay on the tree all year trees with such leaves are called Evergreens the spruce tree is an evergreen and here are its leaves they are long thin and pointed these are found on many evergreen trees but the children didn't come to buy trees today they came to buy seeds all seeds like the ones they're going to plant in their Garden are the beginnings of new plants here are some of the different kinds of flowers and vegetables they want to grow are the seeds different too let's see the seeds have different sizes and shapes these are petunia seeds and these are seeds of the Zenia here are carrot seeds and here are watermelon seeds seeds may be of different sizes and shapes but all are alike in that they are the beginnings of new plants Larry and Karen help select the seeds they'd like to grow in their Garden this year they know that the green plants which grow from seeds will be alike in some ways and different in some ways how many ways can you think of that plants are different and alike [Applause] [Music] see that's what I'm used to that's the narrator the clear message the whole thing that's that's what we're used to with cornet but bear hunt didn't have it had a narrator but it was yeah it was a weird concept anyways here's another one this was not made by cornette but was distributed by cornet and I think this was distributed in either late ' 60s or early '70s it is I am a runner enjoy [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Runners look at their hobby or whatever you want to call it as a way of life and they just keep running and they you know once they get a sense of physical wellbeing they want to keep that up you know whether or not they're competitively at their best best or not they want to keep running I run because deep down inside I love to run you know you you are what you do and I choose to run so I am a [Music] [Applause] runner well now that a lot of us have been running for a while I guess we're pretty much thinking the same thing how can we improve how do we learn to run faster and does it ever get easier yeah I think that you can really improve tremendously by Leaps and Bounds after you've gotten this uh initial base of let's say a year or two of running once a day ways to do that are to do more Hill work to do speed work on the track which is what they call interval trainings you run a certain distance at a faster Pace then jog very slowly and do several sets of that or else you can do what they call flick you go out on the roads and change your pace and Vary your pace slow fast maybe walk a little that sort of thing um those are all different methods or you can always try working out twice a day if you got the time that'll really bring uh fantastic improvements the body has to learn to adjust to this stress but then you also need some recovery in between and I think if you tax your system in some way whether it be through Hill workouts whether it be through track workout outs intervals um even even endurance uh doing long distances your body is going to adjust it's going to be able to take the new loads as long as you give yourself recovery in between to rest it will get better and I think after you've been running for a while maybe a year or two then start experimenting with different terrains like Hill work trying to integrate some not too steep a hill but something with a moderate grade and something that's not too stressful that you can adapt to pretty easily in your training workout fart lck is a Swedish word it means Speed play it's a very effective workout for example Gail Baron and her husband often practice it and she's one of the top marathoners in the country hates any kind of track work so what they do is they'll go out on a run which most of the time they take they're taking a very steady pace and they'll put bursts in bursts of speed where for maybe 400 U yards 440 yards they'll run towards an object at a specific Pace that they wanted do whether it be race Pace whether it be above Race pace and then get to this object and then you rest again you do an easy Pace jog you then might want to do a Sprint they'll pick up and do maybe a a 100 yard Sprint or 200 yard Sprint and it's a constant speed play it's a lot of fun if you hate tracks it's especially fun on Cross Country Trails to do something like this and Hill running can be very very effective a good workout might be to run up a moderate incline fairly hard and then when you get to the top turn right around and Jog back down again repeat this 8 to 10 times and then finish the session off with an easy jog down you have to be careful going downhill always um there's always a risk of turning an ankle or pulling something okay here's a slow motion shot of Bill Rogers running uphill bill is one of the world's finest distance Runners notice his exaggerated arm motion and notice how hard he's pushing off with his legs also he's leaning nicely into the hill if you want to get involved in competition that sort of thing you can always um join what they call fun runs which are not so competitive they're more for fun but they'll be about 2 miles long 3 miles long and I wouldn't recommend people to begin their racing program with a marathon begin with two three five mile runs and I would do that for a year or a couple of years uh I didn't run my first marathon until I've been running for 10 years so I would say that you have plenty of time always ahead of you experiment with the long ones one important thing which sometimes is overlooked is running style um a smoother flow uh less uh excess energy being put out will make you run smoother and go faster you want to concentrate on rhythm with the arms a rhythm in your in your running they say that running starts with the arms and um you want to think of Landing this is for Racers now not for beginners but more up on on your foot rather than just the heel and you want it go smoothly not up and down not choppy and I think that um the better your style the more efficient you'll be all around probably uh one of the better things to do is to actually just sit down and watch some of your better Runners watch How They Run watch their body motion um go to a track where you know maybe a a coach is going to be coaching a college team and just watch some of the better runners tomorrow these women will be running in a championship race they're the finalists from the Bonnie Bell 10K road race series 10K or 10 km is a distance of just over 6 mil and some of these top competitors will be completing the course in 32 or 33 minutes some of these women have had track and CrossCountry experience in high school and college yet others are marathoners and rarely compete on the track depending on which events they're training for they'll run between 60 and 110 m a week about 10% of that will be all out speedwork fast running and then the other will be moderately paced runs of various lengths 5 10 18 miles before running they always do some stretching exercises this is helpful keeping the body in balance and also most important prevent [Music] injury then after stretching they do some jogging warmup maybe 10 or 20 minutes of that before they begin their workout what we're going to do this morning is do some slow motion film studies of these Runners and then we'll have John babington coach of the Liberty Athletic Club critique some of the styles this is Chris lavali she's a very versatile Runner she runs the 1500 meters well the 800 3,000 she's good at 10,000 M and she holds the Canadian women's marathon record her style is easy and relaxed nice low she swings those hands just past the hips smooth efficient stride not too bouncy keeps herself nicely in Balance but good run don't always have perfect style Here Comes Mary Shay her form is quite unconventional her head has a tendency to tilt over to one side as you can see Mary's form isn't that smooth you'd have to say that she's asymmetrical but somehow all those motions fit together in such a way that she gets great great results if I were coaching her i' I'd be very hesitant to tamper with her form this is Marty Cook she's not very big but but there's a lot of power in that stride notice her typical distance Runner stride not a very long stride but she takes more steps per minute it's a very compact style Marty is relatively new to running but she's one of the finest American women Road Racers ever she's the national Marathon champion and does extremely well in the shorter distances also but though this is interesting look at what her feet do as she runs toward us look at that little flip in her foot just before it strikes the ground I couldn't begin to say exactly what effect that has on our running but it certainly is interesting also no notice that her left leg tilts in slightly the leg is not completely vertical at the moment it strikes the ground and that foot wiggle could be a compensation for that in fact it probably is uh Here Comes Ruth Caldwell Ruth is the national 800 meter Champion she specializes in short fast race she's running here in her training flats and at a 10,000 M Pace she's landing on about the middle of her foot and her stride is not particularly long at this pace now Ruth is running in her Spike shoes her Racing shoes and closer to her 800 met race Pace notice the difference here her feet kick back much higher her arms are much more active and her stride is much longer yet she's not really in the air that much see how smoothly she's running she's Landing more in her toes yet not bouncing she's almost skimming along now this type of stride would be inefficient in a very longdistance run this type of stride tires out the muscles very quickly but it's definitely the fastest way to get from the start to the finish in a shorter race this is Mary Rodriguez whose first race was a year and a half ago the Bonnie Bell race in New York she's lost a lot of weight and she's gotten a lot faster in her running but let's look at her style she's very hardworking Runner but perhaps she's trying a little too hard look at those clenched fists actually her legs are quite relaxed but from the waist up there's a little too much tension relaxation is often a problem for a beginning Runner it's something that sprinters have to learn as well as marathoners but there are little tricks you can play on yourself as you're running along you can ask yourself are my facial muscles relaxed do my shoulders and neck muscles feel nice and relaxed are my arms loose you can shake your arms out just for a second just to give yourself a feeling of relaxation you can check your hands to make sure that they're not flopping around but that your fists aren't clenched too tight either just try to maintain an overall feeling of relaxation and smoothness as you run along actually your running style though will pretty much take care of itself just keep at it and enjoy it it's important to have a well-rounded training program to do stretching exercises after you run some some before would be helpful also um to have good pair of shoes with good cushioning to run on grass or dirt surfaces like we see here around the pond stay away from concrete and don't increase your mileage too soon you have to build up very slowly which is the major thing I'm emphasizing if you want to improve the only way to really do it is through consistency and moderation you can't do it through an intense program really quick no one's ever done it that way your body will just won't take it it'll quit on you I think that races are the reward and I don't think anyone should deprive themselves of that pleasure you put in all that training and what is it for what is it about it's to prepare to go out and take the test you know run the race see how good you are see where you stand on race day Jacqueline Hansen one of America's great distance runners was on hand we asked her to tell us something about the race and if she could pass along a few tips about racing technique and strategy when thinking about getting into the actual race it's important to plan it out exactly what you want to do 6 5 4 3 2 1 you have to think about what's a conceivable Pace to run what kind of a time are you capable of doing at any given time in your training pick a you're on Pace it's very important to not go out too fast as much as it's you know not to go out too slow but it's something you have to think about before you get to the starting line 4524 Runners everybody let them know what you say this race was definitely a major event it was a major thing in several different senses you know one that we had 4,500 women out there running that is a social phenomenon perhaps but we also have the very high highest quality number of Runners that I've seen in one given race this is why I think it's really exciting to see a woman's only race because they get the due recognition it is their event they're on the front line they get the good positions they get first grab at the a stations they get all their splits they get to break the tape first it appeared to me to be maybe the youngest fastest field going a lot of them have come up from track uh track background and I think that's why we're seeing you know records dropping in the 10 km cuz we're seeing MERS and cross country Runners running 10,000 M and I think that now we're beginning to see the product of collegiate running programs High School running programs we're beginning to see some results the race started in the Boston Common and went down Charles Street and over the Long Fellow Bridge 28 27 by the first mile there was a a good healthy pack of including like Elizabeth Barry Marty cookie Chris Laval Karen Bridges Joe Benoy and Betty Springs so at the first mile Mark we've got a time of 5 minutes 14 seconds which is right on the money that's going out pretty fast but the first mile out the first and most important thing that these Runners want to do is get out clean and have some Free Running Room it's critical to get out fast at the start to go with the leaders if that's your intention to run with a lead pack because they'll slow down as much as you will everyone will get tired at the same time but if you're 50 or 100 yards back you may never catch up it's difficult to catch up it's easy to stay with a pack but it's difficult to catch a pack it seems to me that this is a big Progressive step in women's running this was one of the first times I have actually seen a race with this quantity of women and this caliber of women at this distance where there was some real strategic running going on there was some very intelligent running going on usually in the past we've seen races where a few people go out too fast and then burn out of the mile they don't really know what they're doing it seems like the the runners sort of string out and hopeless abandoned and they finish in that order and this race was not like that at all the women's running has really moved into another whole plane and it's really exciting to see it was like watching a competitive men's race but they you know they've had a lot more experience with this there they were at four miles all together you know eight of them it could have been anyone's race but they were all working off each other they all had this mutual respect for one another and they were all running intelligent races nobody was going to take it out too fast and yet they were all looking for their best times they weren't dogging it either now let's take a look at the Four Mile Mark in the lead we've got number four and that's Karen Bridges from Oklahoma he was thir making a move in the latter stages of a race can really work to your benefit you know if you're capable of doing it and if you're confident you don't waver at all if it needs passing somebody you pass them quickly and you put enough distance so that they don't go with you they don't draft off you Joe booy said she knew at 5 and2 miles she had to make a move she had to break away just you know to get that distance between them when Jo ber made her move I think she did take the three of them with her and they pulled away but maybe because Joan was making the intentional move it became her game and they were going to have to try to play it the first three runners were all from North Carolina they knew each other they knew how each other ran and and they would each say the same thing Jan said I knew I had to stay on Mary because if she's anywhere near me at the end she can outs Sprint me Mary was saying I know I have to stick with Joan Benoy she's so strong I know I had to sit with her you know and Ellison Goodall knew who she was up against they all knew and I decided if you're going to run you got to get up with them now and I made a move and got up with them and then just stuck tight and then from there on it was Joanie Mary and me pretty much fighting out it seemed like the three of us I think Marty was pretty close behind us but the three of us just going strong really felt great it was great fun I just felt really good but joing was tough and she put in a really strong lift down Commonwealth and really blew me off I couldn't keep up with it if I hadn't let that distance separate it could have been a closer finish because I never really gained it in the lead and she stayed really strong she wasn't going to let me game Goodall is in second place 3255 is the time right now this is very very fast time everybody joeo Cape Elizabeth m is going to win the national body Bell 10 km Championship Jo Berard everybody Ellison Goodall second place her time 33 minutes and 20 seconds look how close this is let these Runners know you're round everybody Mary Shay is in third place from North Carolina number 11 Mary Shay in third place Marty cookie in fourth place number six Marty cookie number four car bridges from still waterer Oklahoma winner of the Denver bnny Bell 10k race I thought the race as a whole just went Splendid it was just a beautiful production the whole race went so smoothly you the only thing that went wrong of course was that funny little incident where the car drove over the Finish Line in 15th Place and everybody was baffled as to how it even got there but you know it was no big [Applause] tragedy were there a lot of people on the car it is true the camaraderie is great it's just I mean if I take anything away from running it's the friends I've made just make it so worthwhile and they're all warm I think Runners are really you know warm neat stable people other as we would pass we would come this way and most of the runners would go that way you know they all go I don't know about you guys but I was going to go when the pack came by here
