Page a THE HERALD April IMS Runner conquers Boston again ByPAULSVOBODA Herald Sports Editor At the ripe old age of 30 Georgetowns Judy Makryoun could be considered something of e whiz kid After taking up competitive distance running only two short years ago shes already comphshed feats that some jog take lifetimes to complete On Apr 17 ran her fourth marathon and second Boston Marathon the acknowledg ed granddaddy of the sport and shes now preparing full steam ahead for a June 3 marathon in Stockholm Sweden People tell me Im a natural said the ebullient runner as she relaxed at her Marilyn Crescent home on Monday But I run for fun I love to run Makhyoun ran the 26mile 385- yard distance at Boston for the se cond last week in a time of three hours and seconds sawing a full four minutes off her first run at the New England classic in 1988 The per sonal best Boston time placed her 195th out of a crowded field of 860 women and 2632nd out of a total of over runners Her best marathon time stands at 3 07 recorded last year at the Wang Toronto International where she placed second in her age category and that bested her first marathon run in 1987 also at Toronto by over a full minutes All of this running success comes closely on the heels of a rather modest high school career in England as a crosscountry com got away from the game as she entered the work ing world but returned to become a recreational jogger about five years ago I missed it she said of her hiatus from running I started back to get in shape and I felt great I tried a few races and did well Then I began looking for bigger challenges Makhyoun found her challenge m the marathon the ultimate best for endurance runners everywhere and Boston is con the ultimate of the ultimate After running well at the 19mile Hamilton Around the Bay run on Apr Makhyoun headed to Boston for her second crack at the legendary course Despite wanner temperatures than last year Makhyoun I Golden Agers take silver Senior bowlers from Georgetown Bowl made their mark at the provincial Golden Age championships last week at Cornwall The womens team of Gertrude Shorthill Mabel Brownlow and Joyce finished just pins shy of winning the gold medal and qualifying for the Nationals as they rolled to a strong second place finish at the Georgetowns mens team finished a respectable fourth in its division led by Walker Trevor Williams and Ernie Pearce Judy Georgetown Queen of the Marathon cut four minutes off her previous best time in the famed Boston Marathon on Apr as she ran the New England classic for the second time in three hours minutes and seconds Herald ed her time and not even infamous Heartbreak Hill could stifle her I train on much harder hills here but Heartbreak Hill comes at the 19mile mark when the body is starting to feel it explained Makhyoun You really have to push it at that point The heat tins year was a factor and some people walked up the hill but I told myself there was no way 1 was walking so I just pulled up and did it Makhyoun who works in Mississauga for Systems said the support of coworkers from the companys sister bureau in Boston also helped her along and the traditionally packed Boston crowds on the course also provided a psychological lift Its a great feeling Makhyoun said of finishing Boston I came in strong it was all downhill to the finish and I really dont remember the crowd then but just the banner saying FINISH My legs just went and it felt great Contrary to coworkers prerace jibes that theyd need a stretcher to collect her after the run Makhyoun said she was ready to go after a shower and some li quids she beamed Makhyoun runs about 50 miles a week in training for a marathon starting her day at 5 30 a with a fivemile jaunt Off to work by 7 a she

anything and everything all year round I have nr problems with stamina she said People are always amazed at what I can eat That kind of fast metabolism com with a resting heart rate of around 50 beats per minute finds Makhyoun hardly breathing heavy during a run Makhyoun says shes learned not to over train after having had an arthroscope on her left knee two years ago just before ignoring doctors orders and running her first marathon in Toronto They say you got to listen to your knees she quips So call her a whiz kid or call her a natural But will tell you the mind is the determining factor in running marathons 1 It a challenge she said You have to enjoy running and you have to want to do it to roawBBML Villafied An Acton Villa defender managed to block this attempt at penetra tion by a
