WE GIVE YOU SOMETHING GOOD TO READ
Hello Planeteers.
This month is all about the numbers. Numbers say a lot about the achievements you made possible. So let's start counting without further ado.
Over 20,000 are the runners receiving this month's issue of the newsletter. Over 3000 is the number of the cities activated on Run The Planet to date, with almost 4000 running descriptions available in our database. Two short of 2000, as we write, is the number of organized running events in our worldwide calendar and over 2000 the links in our directory.
Last month we all ran faster runs to dedicate more time to filling up the gap, and it paid off. We are now able to offer you descriptions for 7 new territories: Bouvet Island (Antarctica), Faroe Islands (Europe), Saint Helena (Africa), Guernsey (Europe), Jarvis Island (Oceania), Navassa Island (Central America), Clipperton Island (Central America). In some of these places you can definitely log beautiful runs, in some other cases you would be lucky just to be able to get there, as we are talking about some of the most remote islands on the planet (in one case, a pirate island!).
This month we welcome Planeteers visiting for the absolute first time from 2 new locations: Saint Helena and the still undocumented territory of Heard & McDonald Islands (if you read us from there, share a running course description with us fellow runners!).
Our reference library now counts 3 additional webpages: the inspiring chronicle Onward and upward by Steve Avery in our Tell The Planet section; the practical Marathon pace band tool that allows you to create a marathon pace band (it includes also a miles to kilometers conversion table); and the fictional short story Running mate by Sharolett Koenig.
Phil The Frog, in his role as the Run The Planet Ambassador among runners of the whole world, collected 7 new entries on his journal and 19 new images in his photo album. He met Bob the Bear who had a special marathon shirt made for occasion; ran the "Fox Cities Marathon"; met the F.R.O.G. running group (Fabulous Runners of Greater Sheboygan) and the unnamed call-to-run frog; participated in the "Lakefront Marathon" with American Champion ultrarunner Roy Pirrung. And now he is off to Sweden for more fantastic adventures. Stay tuned.
Finally a countdown: there are only 2 months left to our Grand 1996-2006 10th Year Anniversary. Yes,Run The Planet is that old! Let's dust the champagne glasses.
Have all a nice day and a great run.

WHERE TO RUN IN THE WORLD
Description of the month - Luzern (Switzerland)
By Jackson Thompson - An early morning alternative or addition to a run along the lake is a run through old town. Starting on the north bank cross Kapelbrucke (Chapel Bridge) at mid-bridge stands the Wasserturm, an octagonal tower that is Luzerns symbol. I cross over each bridge along the river Reuss, moving upstream. After crossing the macabre Spreuerbrucke (this bridge features a series of medieval-style 17th Century plague paintings by Kaspar Meglinger titled Dance of Death), continue on St. Karli-Quai to the town wall. Take the path outside the wall passing grazing cows and Luzerns oldest clock. At the end of the wall head north to the Lion monument, a dedication to the Swiss guards who died protecting Louis XVI, truly one of the saddest monuments in Europe. This is my turnaround. After returning to my starting point if the town still sleeps, I run through the squares (wine and corn market) and the narrow cobblestone streets.

WEBSITES THAT RECEIVED THE RUN THE PLANET AWARD
Women Sports Jobs - An online career center for women in the sports industry, and for women interested in sports related fields. The website provides an online platform for connecting sports enterprises with the most qualified career-minded individuals. Members have the ability to search hundreds of jobs in the sports industry, while employers can search a pool of qualified and diversified candidates.

Momentum - A retail destination offering gear for the self-propelled. Momentum was created to cater to the specialized needs of athletes who run, walk or swim. The store's highly experienced and knowledgeable staff is committed to helping individuals of every skill level achieve their personal best.
Maratón Internacional de Buenos Aires - The official website of the Buenos Aires marathon in Argentina.
Deutschlandlauf - The official website of the Deutschlandlauf, a road race crossing Germany from the northernmost tip to the southernmost part at the Swiss boarder.
Frælsur Ítróttur Føroya - The official website of the Faroese Athletics Federation.
Saint Helena Festival of Running - The website of the most remote and most exclusive running festival in the world. The week-long festival consists of three events, held on separate days: a 10K road race (with a 3 kilometre fun run/walk option), a full or half marathon two days later, and, at the end of the Festival week, the ascent of the famed Jacob's Ladder, a 699-step climb out of Jamestown. The festival lays claim to the title of the most remote run in the world, due to the fact that Saint Helena island is one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world. There is no airport and the island's only regular link with mainland civilization is the RMS St Helena which can accommodate only 130 passengers aboard its well-appointed suites. This limits the number of runners which can participate and may well also make it the most exclusive running event.
Guernsey Island Amateur Athletic Club - The club provides support for all aspects of athletics - track & field, road and cross country running for all ages and both sexes.
Run / Walk across America - This educational website supports a Physical Education curriculum at Russell Elementary School in Missoula, Montana. The Run Across America challenge, from Cannon Beach, Oregon to Lewes, Delaware, is designed to promote physical activity as a way of life and to encourage the school's 4th and 5th grade students to be more conscious of their health and nutrition. During the 39 weeks of the school year the 4th and 5th grade students of Russell Elementary are running and walking each week to see if either class (or both, but not combined) can accumulate enough running and/or walking miles in the Physical Education program to virtually cross the United States on a predetermined 3,200-mile route.
Tunnel Vision - An idea spawned by an adventure-racing athlete who needed a better solution to keep sweat out of his eyes. Traditional headbands and wraps just did not do the trick, so we developed a new headband alternative, designed to withstand any amount of sweat.
jogTunes - A music service for runners and joggers. Songs and instrumentals are listed if their cadence matches typical jogging and running paces. This way, users can enjoy running "to the beat". All tunes are from the iTunes Music Store and can be downloaded via links from jogTunes.com. They can be sorted by genre, artist, and beats-per-minute. There are playlists for casual 30 minute runners but long distance runners can pick and choose songs and play them in segments during long runs.
Logan's Run - The personal website of Logan Beaulieu, an ultrarunner from Edmonton, Alberta. He was in a near fatal car crash when he was 16 years old, and he lingered in a coma for over sixteen days, suffering paralysis as well as multiple fractures. He awoke on that sixteenth day and have never stopped running nor given up, despite facing the biggest challenge of his life.
Recycled Runners - Most runners are keen on looking after our environment and in helping those less fortunate than ourselves. So many pairs of running shoes are worn then dumped when so many people in the world have to go barefoot. This is a non-profit organisation that collects old and discarded running shoes from Australian runners and passes them on to needy runners in the Australia and Pacific region.
Night-Gear Inc. - Night-Gear Inc. is for people who play or work at night. We sell high-quality reflective clothing as well as flashlights and headlamps. If you need to be seen at night this is the site for you.

RUN THE PLANET MAIL
While you were running did you ever have a question? Did you ever have an opinion about something and ask yourself "Is it just me?"? Did you ever come up with a great idea and wonder if you could just tell everyone the world would be a better place? Did you ever have a revelation and want to share it with others? Well now is your chance to address any one of these question, and basically anything else you come up with while you are running. To hear an opinion, or run an idea past someone. Visit the "Rtp Mail" webpage to receive an answer to your running related questions or to read an opinion about your running thoughts. Here are the last three question asked:
•What is the proper way to hydrate? - When I run half and full marathons, I get so dehydrated that I run out of energy near the end, and my leg muscles cramp up. I have tried drinking sports drinks and all of the recommended fluids to prevent dehydration, but I just can't seem to overcome the problem. What is the proper way to hydrate before and during a long run? - Dripping Dry
•Should I avoid city running all together? - I run five miles every day through the streets of a major metropolitan city. I find that much of my time is spent dodging automobile traffic, and waiting for the lights to change. How can I remain safe from an accident, while at the same time maintaining my running pace and good form? Should I avoid city running all together? - Downtown Trodder
•Should I have someone look at the way I run? - I have been running for a few months now, and my daily and weekly mileage has increased to around five a day, thirty per week. As my distance has increased I have begun feeling pain across areas of my lower legs. Someone told me I should have a "gait analysis" done to see if my feet "run funny". What is the point of having someone look at the way I run? How will that help ease my pain? - Funny Feet

Atlanta Running Guide, by Mike Cosentino, paperback, 203 pages, Peachtree Publishers (2003), ISBN: 156145205X
For serious runners, weekend joggers, or occasional power walkers, here is the ultimate running guide to the Atlanta area, written by a veteran runner with an intimate knowledge of the American city's streets and byways. The book features over forty runs throughout the metro area of the capital city of Georgia, including three major race routes, covering in total more than three hundred miles. The routes are grouped by region with a detailed map and information for each course, including distance, terrain, hill factor, nearby attractions and landmarks, parking, and public transportation. A brief overview of each route is also provided. A veteran of eight years and thousands of miles of serious running and training in the Atlanta area, Mike Cosentino has selected routes that are useful for runners of every level and provide a tour of the best Atlanta has to offer: neighborhoods, parks, landmarks, notable streets, and great places to unwind after a run. "As a major running center, Atlanta is thrice-blessed: beautiful terrain, enthusiastic runners, and now a comprehensive guide to bring the two together - every city should be so lucky!" said Sam Pettway, president of the American Running Association. The book is, in fact, an indispensable guide for residents, newcomers, and tourists on the go. The author completed more than thirty marathons and a number of ultras, including the "Kettle Moraine" and "Western States" 100-mile endurance races and the "Ironman Florida" triathlon. Cosentino received his undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University and a master's degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1994. He lives with his wife and son in Atlanta - Click on the cover to order this book at a special price
RTP MOVIE
Visit the "Rtp Movie" webpage for running, walking, and hiking related movies, videoclips and an exhaustive movie encyclopedia
"Saint Ralph - Finding yourself on the starting line of life" is a delightfully entertaining film, the summer hit for all you running film fans. A sports comedy drama that you should not pass up. Set in a Catholic school environment, the story follows fourteen year old Ralph who is seeking a miracle to save his mother from a coma. Played by Adam Butcher, Ralph is "sentenced" to the cross country team by the headmaster after getting in trouble for watching a women in a shower at the public pool (thus the PG-13 rating for brief nudity). Ralph later concludes that if he performs an impossible running feat that it might be the miracle needed to save his mother’s life. The cross country coach, Father Hibbert (Campbell Scott), recognizes his running talent and invests in training him as he sets out to win the 1954 "Boston marathon". The running sequences are some of the best shot, and no wonder with the writing and directing credits going to past "Detroit marathon" winner Michael McGowan (2:18.11). No one aspect of running is labored, instead a range of running methods and techniques are explored in a charming manner. Realism of the time far outweigh any running cliches that are commonly seen in feature productions. Training progression, hill repeats, intervals, nutrition, weight training, volume, pacing, and racing strategy are all interwoven into this tale. Two other races are used in preparation for the marathon goal, each with its own lesson being delivered. "Like the martyr, I’m embracing pain" says Ralph. A striking aspect of "Saint Ralph", is that in addition to the running, are the numerous relationships that are developed and explored. Strong ties, conflicts, dreams, temptations, and challenges give real meaning to each person working from their perspective and giving their most. This production is giving back to the running community by teaming with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team in Training group and the summer Nike Running Camps where it will be shown. Filmed in Ontario (Canada), this 98 minute feature will bring you a big smile.

Inauguration stone of The Kings of Dál Riata, Dunadd (United Kingdom)
The Gaelic Kingdom of Dál Riata and the royal centre of Dunadd is a hill fort set in the green landscape of modern day Argyll, where a footprint in the rock marks the spot where the Gaelic kings were symbolically married to the land they were to rule. Dunadd hill fort is the foundation stone of the Kingdom of the Scots. It was the royal centre of the kingdom of Dál Riata, where the Kings of Scotland and their peoples, the Gaels, gave Scotland its name and Gaelic culture. The Kingdom of Dál Riata once stretched northwards to Ardnamurchen, west to northern Ireland and south to Arran and the Mull of Kintyre. Stone ramparts, the remains of which can be seen today, once surrounded Dunadd. Entry was through a natural cleft in the rock sealed by wooden gates. Beyond the gate were houses and workshops for smelting iron and gold. An important trading centre, many goods flowed through it: gold from Ireland, wine from southern Europe, even rare minerals from the far east used by scribes to color manuscripts. Through a second set of ramparts lay Dunadd's summit and just below the summit, on an outcrop of rock, lies the inauguration stone of the Kings of Dál Riata. A footprint carved into the rock is the most striking symbol of Scottish Kingship. Here the king's of Dál Riata, from Aedan to Kenneth MacAlpine, were inaugurated, their followers gathering below. The King would place his foot in the hole, symbolizing his union with the land. Kingship brought expectations that a new king would bring fertility, bountiful seasons and success in war. The ceremony was partly pagan (a symbolic marriage to the land, with the king's bard reciting his genealogy back to his mythic ancestors) and part Christian (as the kings were blessed by the abbot of Iona). The majority of the information found on this piece is credited to www.bbc.co.uk.
PENGUIN INSPIRATION OF THE MONTH
Visit JohnBingham.com for more running pearls of wisdom from John "the Penguin" Bingham. Through his popular monthly column in Runner's World magazine, his breakthrough first book "The Courage to Start: A Guide to Running for Your Life" and his best selling "No Need for Speed: A Beginner's Guide to the Joy of Running" the Penguin has inspired hundreds of thousands of men and women to run for fun, fitness, and self-affirmation.
Unfinished business - As we get deeper and deeper into the training program, the memory of why you started on this journey may start to fade. You may have to think long and hard about what exactly is was that motivated you to begin. The danger, right now, is that you will stand at the starting line not having given yourself the full benefit of the training program. Recommit to your training to avoid finding yourself at finish line wondering how well you might have done.
