Inspire, Spring 2012

At 7 a.m., Jeff Reep ’79 took our class to the track for our mile test. Many of us were not motivated, or even that awake. When we got to the track, we saw two figures running laps. I realized they were my grandparents — Harold and Margaret Green. They had more than 50 years on all of us and ran better than most of us . I definitely ran my mile faster that day! SHAWN GREEN ’07, SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA We used to “PACL” down to Colonial Pizza to get cheese bread. SARAH (BARTLETT) BORICH ‘02, HILLIARD, OHIO Whenever my roommate and I would go running through town, someone would roll down their car window and yell, “Yeah, PACL!” LANA CHRISTENSEN ’05, HILLSBORO, OREGON I remember the dreaded 1.5-mile run . I think I walked a good part of it, but at the end Elvin King (the cross country coach) stopped me and said “You have a great running stride, and if you practice, you would be surprised how quickly you would improve.” Well, Mr. King, it took me 18 years, but a few months ago I completed my first 5K race! AMY (RINIKER) SMITH ’93, PHOENIXVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA Jogging out to Dr. Dixon’s house in the freezing cold! RICH PORTER ’98, XENIA, OHIO Still needing to complete my week’s requirement, I began my run from Lawlor toward downtown. About halfway through my run, the village tornado siren began to blare . I made it back to the Hill basement, arriving soaking wet. ERIC PHILLIPS ’03, COATESVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA Best memory: Coach Jeff Bolender ’91 demonstrating the proper pushup form on the front table. Worst memory: signing up for the class. BRANDON BENNETT ’05, BROOK PARK, OHIO Rollerblading with my roommate through the Apple Technology Center. MICHELLE (RIGEL) MCCUNE ’04, CEDARVILLE, OHIO Running the stairwells in Willetts in the winter months. There was no Doden Field House or Fitness Center, and winter sports were in full swing. Had to get my 30 minutes of aerobic activity in somehow! LYNSEY (FABIAN) MANDELA ’04, HAVERTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA Question for the next issue: What is your best memory from TWIRP Week?
