Add Variety to 

Your Running 

By Laura Clark 

Racing season gets well underway in June with at least one 

event every weekend. Saturday, June 3 is the most prolific 

choice, with big name-events, an uphill challenge and a 

muddy obstacle run, to name a few. Follow that day up with a few 

other selections and you will be well on your way to acing your 

summertime goals. 

Leading the June 3 charge is Albany’s Freihofer’s Run for 

Women 5K, celebrating 45 years championing female athletes. 

Egalitarian in definition, this event attracts national elites as well as 

citizen racers and prides itself on its running and walking training challenge 

to ease the way for those new to the sport, coming back to running 

or walking, or those who enjoy the community aspect of training 

with others. Run through downtown Albany’s historic neighborhoods, 

Washington Park, and back to the Capitol building. A fun feature is 

the nine team permutations offered like Sister/Sister, Grandmother/ 

Mother/Daughter, and Non-Binary. 

Many women are attracted to the marathon feel of the event 

from the Expo at Russell Sage College’s Armory, to the festive start 

at Capitol Park, and the thrill of having your name announced as 

you join the downhill rush to the finish line. Both girls and boys are 

encouraged to test their skills at the Freihofer’s Capital Kids 3K Run 

or Freihofer’s Kids’ Runs with free mini road races. Afterwards, take 

a team/family photo by the Freihofer’s backdrop and help celebrate 

the baking company’s 110th anniversary while munching on 

your well-earned box of chocolate chip cookies. Use promo code 

to save $5: ADK23. Register: freihofersrun.com.

News Briefs 

Celebrating 200 Years 

of the Champlain Canal 

WATERFORD – The Champlain Canalway Trail 

Working Group is working with partner organizations 

to celebrate the bicentennial of the Champlain 

Canal this year with several events this summer. The 

Champlain Canal was the first canal in New York, connecting 

the Hudson River with Lake Champlain creating 

an inland waterway from New York City to Canada. 

On May 20-21, the working group will be at the Waterford Canal Festival commemorating 

the reopening of the canal after its winter closure. At 10:30am on Saturday, May 

20, town historian Russ Vandervoort will conduct a walking tour to Old Lock 5 (three 

miles round-trip). On Sunday, May 21 at 10:30am, the working group will lead a guided 

bike ride/tour on the Champlain Canalway Trail from Waterford to Upper Newtown Rd 

(11 miles round-trip). Be sure to bring your bike and helmet. Riders can express their 

interest on their Facebook page: Champlain Canalway Trail - A Path Through History. 

On June 3, National Trails Day, the celebration continues at Mullen Park in Fort 

Edward at the trailhead of the Champlain Canal Trail. Many Washington County agencies 

will stage an active Family Fun Day with games, attractions, fishing and more. 

Historians will be around all day to share interesting stories about the area. The working 

group will guide a bike ride from Fort Edward to Fort Ann (12 miles). Be sure to bring 

your bike and helmet. 

Both events will feature bike safety rodeos. Basic bike maintenance and helmet fitting 

will be reviewed with each child. Through a series of games children can hone their 

riding skills such as hand signaling and trail etiquette. Commemorative T-shirts will be 

available while supply lasts. 

Catskill Fire Tower 

Challenge 

ALBANY – For nearly a century, observers watched the forests 

of New York, including the Catskill and Adirondack forest 

preserves, from 100 fire towers perched atop the highest peaks, 

searching for the dangerous, telltale signs of forest fires. 

The 2023 Catskills Fire Tower Challenge encourages experienced 

hikers to visit the region’s remaining fire towers located on Balsam Lake Mountain 

(Hardenburgh), Hunter Mountain (Hunter), Overlook Mountain (Woodstock), Red 

Hill Mountain (Denning), and Tremper Mountain (Shandaken), along with the Upper 

Esopus Fire Tower at the Catskills Visitor Center. The Upper Esopus Fire Tower allows 

visitors who may not otherwise be able to undertake the challenging hike of several miles 

to experience a fire tower on the high peaks in the Catskills. 

Visit all six Catskill Fire Towers between Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. Once completed, participants 

can submit a log of their completed hikes, along with a favorite photo or selfie via 

a web form or to: catskillschallenge@dec.ny.gov. Entries must be postmarked by January 

7, 2024. Hikers are reminded to practice Leave No Trace principles and Love Our NY 

Lands by recreating safely and sustainably, and hiking in suitable conditions based on 

weather and the hiker’s ability and experience level. For more info, visit: dec.ny.gov. 


Adopt a Section of NYS Canalway 

Water Trail as a Volunteer Steward 

WATERFORD – Do you enjoy paddling?

Canalway Water Trail Stewards are back

NYS Digital Camping

need to make a reservation, either through NYS DEC 

at campsites within the Adirondack and Catskill forest 

preserves or through the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation

FROM THE PUBLISHER 

Be Nature-Smart 

Getting exercise outside changes your perspective and alters 

the way your brain works. The natural settings inspire our daily 

lives. Visiting a forest, waterway, trail or backroad has mental 

and physical health benefits, including reducing stress, lowering 

blood pressure, increasing attention span, ability to focus 

and energy levels. 

Focusing on multiple activities or a single thing for long periods of time can mentally 

drain us, a phenomenon called Directed Attention Fatigue. Spending time in 

nature, whether it’s for a hike, run, bike or paddle, gives our brains a break 

to perform better in your everyday life. Enjoy the issue and I hope 

it inspires you to be more active. 

Now open 

for the 

season!

The Capital Region’s four multisport 

clubs are excited to reconvene their 

members through weekly open-water 

swims, bike and run training, social events, 

and triathlon, duathlon and aquabike races 

of all distances at various locations, near 

and far. 

The Capital District Triathlon Club, 

Bethlehem Triathlon Club, Saratoga 

Triathlon Club, and the Adirondack Multi- 

Sport Club each have activities and events 

planned. Beginners, all ages and abilities 

are welcome. Weekly open-water swim (and 

bike and run) training is the core of area club 

triathlon activities and in-season workouts. 

They are great opportunities to learn, practice, 

and refine your triathlon abilities, as 

well as meet other athletes in the region. 

For Capital District Triathlon Club, the 

weekly Crystal Lake swim and bike/run summer 

training schedule kicks-off on Tuesday, 

May 30 and continues through August 29 at 

Crystal Cove in Averill Park. About 100 athletes 

train most weeks on the Crystal Lake 

Triathlon course, which consists of a 0.5- 

mile swim in calm water, 18-mile challenging 

out-and-back bike, and three-mile lake 

loop run. Swim training starts are at 6 and 

6:30pm, and if you’d like to do more loops, 

lifeguards are on the water until 7:30pm. 

This year’s 22nd annual Crystal Lake 

Triathlon is on Saturday, August 19 – a 

classic race that’s popular with experienced 

triathletes, beginners, and aquabike is back. 

CDTC is again offering their “Crystal Lake

and outdoor gatherings are being planned. 

Check out: saratogatriclub.com.

In its 38th year, the Vermont Sun Triathlon 

Series is six great triathlons, meticulously 

directed by the Steve Hare and family with 

Ruth Bullock, at Branbury State Park on Lake 

Dunmore, just southeast of Middlebury, Vt. 

It’s a pristine place to race with beautiful 

courses in nearby central Vermont, 80 minutes 

from Glens Falls. If you can’t wait for 

summer, the Vermont Sun Half Marathon, 

10K & 5K is on May 14. The Vermont Sun

and August 13 with a 0.9M swim, 28M bike, 

and 6.2M run. Both races have aquabike 

options and the June 18 races are also the 

USA Triathlon Vermont State Championship. 

For something different and fun, I highly recommend 

the Branbury Classic on July 16, a 

1.5M canoe/kayak/SUP, 14M bike, and 3.1M 

run triathlon – this was my first multisport 

race 30+ years ago! Register: vermontsuntriathlonseries.com.

the venue remained a terrific place to hold 

a triathlon. Local triathletes missed the race 

and permission was granted in March 2023. 

OnondagaMan will be open to individuals 

and relay teams, and limited to 300 racers.

MOUNTAIN BIKING 


◀ ERIN SMITH AT FIRST 2023 NICA RACE IN THORNWOOD. 

NICA Spring Season 

Athlete Spotlight: Erin Smith 

By Bob Frank 

▲ ERIN SMITH AT A 2022 NICA RACE. 

SHE HAS WON OVER 20 VARSITY RACES. 

Although it had rained heavily the night before 

and the trails were a challenging, muddy 

mess, you would have never known that by 

the excitement and smiles on the faces of the 200+ 

participants and dozens of coaches at the kickoff 

race of the spring National Interscholastic Cycling 

Association NY League mountain bike race season. 

This is the 10th season for the NY League which 

is comprised of about 25 teams from across the state. 

While the league has enjoyed steady growth over the 

years, the makeup of the teams has changed recently. 

The number of junior high school participants has 

skyrocketed, especially in the Capital Region, due primarily 

from the launching of the “Flow Riders” and 

“Saratoga Shredders” kids’ mountain bike programs, 

which between them have over 400 local riders! The 

overall competitiveness of the league has increased as 

well, driven in large part from the growth and depth of 

female student-athletes. Roughly 30% of the league is 

girls and there are special programs, such as the Girls 

Riding Together (GRiT) program which helps them 

be successful. 

GRiT NY strives to continue NICA’s core values 

of friendship, joy and adventure to create a program 

that is not only fun but creates experiences for girls 

to embark on adventures on and off the trails. Their 

mantra is to value inclusivity and truly believe if you 

want to bike, no matter the skill level or experience, 

EVERY GIRL is welcome and supported! They believe 

that biking and GRiT is an invitation that unites anyone 

who just likes to bike and where friendship, joy 

and adventure can start and flourish. 

While the number of girls is on the rise it is no surprise 

that several teams are in fact led by their female 

student athletes. This is important because the league 

is unique in that although the boys and girls compete 

separately, the points awarded to the top place finishers, 

boys and girls, are the same. Therefore, the winner 

of the highly coveted overall team competition is 

determined by adding the points together of the top 

male and female participants for each team. 

One such athlete that has been a force for her 

team and has dominated the league for the last several 

years is Erin Smith. She is a junior at Scotia-Glenville 

High School and races for R-Cubed, which is one of the 

local composite mountain bike teams made up of student 

athletes from several area schools. Erin started mountain 

biking like many other kids by tagging along with her dad 

on rides. In sixth grade she did her first race and by seventh 

grade she moved up quickly to varsity. She is currently the 

four-time NY defending state champ. In the last five years, 

Erin has won over 20 varsity races and by the time she graduates 

next year she will mostly likely have accumulated 

more points for her team than any other student athlete in 

the 10-year history of the NY league. 

Erin’s success comes from having a high level of passion 

for the sport and a lot of year-round hard work and 

training. She also competes for her school’s cross-country 

running team in the fall and Nordic skiing team in the 

winter. This last year, she placed tenth in Section 2 Nordic 

skiing championships and competed at NYS championships 

at Bristol Mountain. 

As Erin has progressed so has her training. She now 

has a coach and follows a more regimented routine which 

tracks heart rate zones and perceived exertion, while also 

being mindful of rest and nutrition. After high school, she 

hopes to compete at the collegiate level as well. 

Erin sees a difference between competing for her high 

school teams versus competing in the NICA mountain bike 

league. While she likes the competitiveness amongst the 

high school teams, she also appreciates and enjoys the culture 

and overall community of the mountain bike league. 

The coaches, parents and participants are often supportive 

of one another, despite racing against each other. This 

makes for a unique and satisfying experience. Erin also 

has become a role model for many of the younger kids. 

It never ceases to amaze me how a subtle gesture or word 

of encouragement can have a profound impact on young 

athletes. NICA is fortunate to have some amazing past and 

current athletes who continue to give back to the sport by 

being excellent role models. 

The NICA GRiT program has also done a lot to promote 

mountain biking for girls in the state. It increases 

their awareness of NICA programs by offering girls-only 

social and riding opportunities for girls, moms, friends, 

siblings and female coaches. GRiT day rides, local businesses 

partnerships, camps, and student-athlete ambassador 

programs are just a few ways they promote the sport. 

GRiT NY strives to continue NICA’s core values of friendship, 

joy and adventure. The goal is a program that is fun 

and creates experiences for girls to embark on adventures 

on and off the trails. 

Today NICA has over 25,000 participants and leagues 

in 31 states. Most states have a four- or five-race schedule, 

held in the spring or fall depending on the regional climate. 

In New York, the races are held in the spring. NICA 

is guided by values of fun, inclusivity, equity, respect, and 

community. Every youth is empowered to be part of a 

thriving and engaged cycling community. The goal is to 

build “strong minds, bodies, character, and communities 

through cycling.” 

If you are interested in joining a local team, you are 

in luck, there are five of them: Niskayuna-Mohawk 

Composite “Mountain Goats,” R-Cubed NICA, Grey 

Ghost Composite, Saratoga Shredders NICA Team, and 

Rensselaer RedHawks. 

Here’s the spring race schedule: 4/23, Cobweb Shredder 

XC at EF Academy in Thornwood; 5/7, Mountain Hugger 

XC at Walnut Mountain in Liberty; 5/21, The Farm at Tilden 

Hill Farm in Vernon; 6/4, Hyde Bay XC at Glimmerglass 

State Park, Cooperstown; and 6/11, Land of Lakes XC 

Championship in Old Forge. 

The area teams have a long history of being very competitive 

in the league. The Niskayuna-Mohawk Composite 

“Mountain Goats” are the defending state league champions 

and won the first race of the 2023 season. If you’re interested 

in learning more about the league, starting a team or 

participating on a team, here are the primary contacts. In 

addition, all the teams have a presence on social media.

Bob Frank (jfrank10@nycap.rr.com) lives in Niskayuna 

and is a “lifetime cyclist.” He’s an assistant coach for 

the Niskayuna and Mohawk teams and enjoys many 

outdoor activities.

Three Adirondack 

Paddling Challenges 

By Sydney Aveson 

▲ ADIRONDACK PADDLING. 

◀ SARANAC LAKE PADDLING. 

▼ TUPPER LAKE OXBOW.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM (LAKE PLACID) 

T 

he Adirondacks 

are a premier 

destination for 

paddling. With more 

than 3,000 lakes and 

ponds, and 30,000 miles 

of rivers and streams, it 

offers a lifetime of destinations 

to keep you 

exploring on the water. 

The region offers exciting 

day trips for the novice, 

intermediate and 

advanced paddler, with 

other routes allowing for remote multiday 

camping options or stunning day trips. With 

so many options available, deciding where 

to start can be daunting. Let me introduce 

three new paddling challenges located in 

Tupper Lake, Schroon Lake and Saranac 

Lake, offering 11 different routes with 

logistics mapped out, from parking to boat 

launch sites and general route information. 

Hiking challenges around the country 

are nothing new, but paddling challenges 

are a fresh take on the idea. Paddling challenges 

offer an exciting way to encourage 

people to explore waterways and try a new 

sport. Few places provide paddle challenges, 

and the Adirondacks have developed three 

in recent years. All of the routes are beginner 

and family-friendly, but more experienced 

paddlers can also enjoy the routes. 

Completing all routes for each respective 

challenge allows participants both bragging 

rights and a patch they can wear proudly. 

Some paddlers look to elevate the challenge 

by completing the routes in one day 

to achieve “ultra” status. Those paddlers will 

receive a patch that showcases that particular 

achievement. 

Tupper Lake Paddling Triad – The Triad 

is one of the first water-based challenges 

established within the Adirondack Park. 

This was originally established in 2020 in 

response to the success of the Tupper Lake 

Hiking Triad, covering Arab, Coney and 

Goodman mountains. Since 2014, more 

than 10,000 participants have completed the 

hiking challenge. In 2020, a committee comprising 

the Regional Office of Sustainable 

Tourism (ROOST), community leaders, and 

business owners worked together to establish 

the paddling triad. In the last three years, 

200 people have completed the challenge. 

The paddling challenge combines winding 

creeks and rivers with the expansive 

lakes of the Tupper Lake region. The triad 

comprises three paddling routes: Stoney 

Creek Pond to Axton Landing, Raquette 

▲ FAMILY-FRIENDLY PADDLING. 

Pond to Setting Pole Dam, and Raquette 

River boat launch to Big Tupper boat launch. 

The first two routes are 3.25 miles one-way, 

making them easily achievable for almost 

anyone. The third route, locally known as 

“The Crusher,” is a 7.75-mile trip along the 

Raquette River; while the trip is longer than 

the other two, the current will assist you. 

The Tupper Lake Paddling Triad is a 

great way to explore local waterways and 

experience the area’s natural beauty. The 

challenge can be completed in a single 

day or over several days, depending on 

individual preferences. The triad can be 

accomplished by canoe, kayak, or standup 

paddleboard, and paddlers of all skill 

levels are welcome to participate. Paddlers 

should be prepared with appropriate gear 

and experience. If you need to rent a boat 

or hire a guide, head to Raquette River 

Outfitters, a local outfitter in Tupper Lake. 

For more info, visit: tupperlake.com/tupper-lake-paddling-triad. 

Schroon Paddle Challenge – The challenge 

is launching this June to celebrate the 

joy of paddling and introduce more residents 

and visitors to the stunning waters 

within the Schroon Lake watershed. The 

Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce, Town 

of Schroon, Schroon Lake Association, and 

ROOST joined forces to create this challenge 

for paddling enthusiasts and nature lovers. 

On June 10, there will be an inaugural paddle 

to celebrate the launch of this new challenge. 

The Schroon Paddle Challenge comprises 

three paddles within the Schroon Lake 

Watershed: the Schroon River Paddle, the 

Schroon River to Schroon Lake Paddle, and 

the Paradox Lake Paddle. Each paddle is 

approximately 4.5 miles one-way, allowing 

participants to either arrange a shuttle for a 

one-way trip or paddle back to their starting 

point. If participants need to rent a boat, the 

Schroon Lake Marina can handle all equipment 

needs. For more info, visit: adirondackhub.com/schroon-paddle-challenge. 

Saranac Lake Paddle Challenge – In 

June, a new paddling challenge is coming 

to Saranac Lake thanks to a collaborative 

effort by the Saranac Lake Area Chamber 

of Commerce, Adirondack Lakes & Trails 

Outfitters, St. Regis Canoe Outfitters, Mac’s 

Canoe Livery and ROOST. 

The Saranac Lake Paddle Challenge 

comprises five routes in two different areas. 

Three routes cover 19 miles of the esteemed 

Northern Forest Canoe Trail, the longest 

inland waterway in the United States. These 

sections are within easy access to the village 

of Saranac Lake and offer some of the 

best paddling opportunities in the area. 

The routes have many highlights, including 

island camping, boating locks between 

Lower Saranac Lake and Oseetah Lake, and 

a combination of lake and river paddling. 

The other two routes are located in the 

St. Regis Canoe Area, the largest wilderness 

canoe area in the northeastern US. The 

Follensby Clear Pond loop is a great introductory 

paddle and portage trip with four 

miles of paddling and less than a half-mile 

of portages across four carries. This loop 

can be expanded by exploring other ponds 

in the area. The final paddle is on the St. 

Regis Chain of Lakes, which begins at Paul 

Smith’s College on Lower St. Regis Lake. This 

paddle allows participants to see several 

Adirondack Great Camps, where several US 

presidents and other prestigious Americans 

stayed while visiting the area. 

Adirondack Lakes & Trails Outfitters, St. 

Regis Canoe Outfitters, and Mac’s Canoe 

Livery are local outfitters that can provide 

everything needed to tackle this fun and memorable 

challenge. The kickoff for the challenge 

will coincide with Celebrate Paddling ADK, a 

month-long paddling celebration in June. For 

more info, visit: saranaclake.com. 

Celebrate Paddling ADK is an annual, 

month-long event celebrating paddling culture 

and community in the Adirondacks. The 

event features a variety of paddling-related 

activities, including guided paddling trips, 

paddling clinics, and a series of events focused 

on combating invasive species and sustainability. 

Celebrate Paddling ADK also offers 

fun family adventures, canoe-to-brew trips, 

and night kayak tours. Celebrate Paddling 

ADK is an excellent way for paddlers to meet 

and connect with other paddlers, learn new 

skills, and explore the beautiful waterways in 

the Adirondacks. For details, check the schedule: 

celebratepaddlingadk.com. 

In addition to these individual activities, 

more significant events like the Adirondack 

Paddling Symposium in Saranac Lake will 

be available. During the weekend of June 

16-19, the symposium will offer paddling 

instruction for beginners and intermediates 

presented by NRS and the Northern Forest 

Canoe Trail. This year’s symposium will 

also include a new “90-Miler” track to help 

aspiring racers hone the skills needed to 

complete the three-day Adirondack Canoe 

Classic route on Sept. 8-10 (registration 

opens July 1): northernforestcanoetrail.org.

Editor’s Note: This is the 109th in a 

series on optimal diet and lifestyle to help 

prevent and treat disease. Any planned 

change in diet, exercise or treatment 

should be discussed with and approved 

by your personal physician before 

implementation. The help of a registered 

dietitian in the implementation of dietary 

changes is strongly recommended. 

Medicines are a mainstay of 

American life and the health care 

system, not only because they are perceived 

to work by the individuals taking 

them, but also because their benefit may 

be shown by the objective assessment of 

scientific study. Clinical research trials 

have shown that some of the medicines 

of Western science may reduce the risk 

of Type 2 diabetes, heart attacks, strokes 

and cardiovascular death. 

In the first 108 installments of the 

Non-Medicated Life, certain dietary practices 

and a healthy lifestyle have been 

shown to accomplish naturally for the 

majority of individuals most of the benefits 

of medications in the prevention and 

treatment of chronic medical conditions. 

This is especially true for prediabetes, a 

condition present for several years prior 

to the development of Type 2 diabetes. 

This is especially important as Type 2 diabetes 

greatly increases the risk of heart 

attacks and strokes, and nearly 75 million 

Americans have prediabetes. 

So how do you know if you have prediabetes? 

The easiest way to suspect you 

may have this condition is to use family 

history and body weight. If Type 2 diabetes 

is present in ANY of your family members, 

but especially first-degree relatives – 

mother, father, sister or brother – you are 

at risk. Additionally, if you are overweight 

or obese, then you are at risk. Overweight 

NON-MEDICATED LIFE 

Lifestyle Strategies for 

Preventing Type 2 Diabetes 

By Paul E. Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP 

or obese may be scientifically determined 

by using body mass index (BMI) calculator: 

cdc.gov. Overweight is a BMI between 25-30 

and obese is a BMI greater than 30. 

If a suggestive family history or elevated 

BMI (or both) are present, then the next 

step to determining if one has prediabetes is 

targeted blood tests. The two most important 

blood tests are a blood glucose after a 

12-hour fast, Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) 

test, and a hemoglobin A1c (Hgb A1c) test. 

Additionally, prediabetes may be determined 

at its earliest stages – even without an 

elevation of FBS or Hgb A1c – by identifying 

a condition called metabolic syndrome. Let’s 

describe each determination in turn: 

If the FBS is greater than 99 milligrams 

per deciliter (mg/dl), but less than 126, then 

this is the most common test to suggest 

prediabetes. An even more exacting way of 

determining prediabetes is an elevated Hgb 

A1c. Hemoglobin is an iron containing protein 

present in red blood cells (RBCs) that 

binds oxygen in the lungs and transports 

it to the tissues of the body. By serendipity, 

hemoglobin also binds glucose and the 

RBCs are permeable to glucose. Hgb A1c, 

therefore, is the percent of hemoglobin in 

the RBCs bound to glucose. Hgb A1c less 

than 5.7% is normal, Hgb A1c 5.7-6.4% is 

prediabetes, and Hgb A1c greater than 6.4% 

is diagnostic of Type 2 diabetes. Since RBCs 

have a lifespan of three months, Hgb A1c 

reflects the average blood sugar over the 

preceding three months. 

Both prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes 

are metabolic conditions that reflect insulin 

resistance. Insulin is a hormone produced in 

the islet cells of the pancreas that is released 

into the blood stream. The insulin fits into 

a receptor on the surface of the body’s cells 

that in turn activates a “pump” that takes glucose 

from the blood stream and transports 

it into the cell. The underlying metabolic 

derangement in both conditions may be a 

change in the shape of the receptor requiring 

increased amounts of insulin to activate the 

pump. This state of increased insulin may be 

determined even before the blood glucose is 

elevated by identifying metabolic syndrome. 

Metabolic syndrome is defined as any 

three of the following conditions: 1) an 

elevated fasting Triglyceride (TG greater 

than 150); 2) a reduced HDL cholesterol 

(less than 40 in a male and less than 50 

in a female; 3) an elevated Blood Pressure 

(BP) or on BP lowering medications; 4) an 

increased abdominal girth at the umbilicus 

(aka belly button) (greater than 35 inches in 

female and greater than 40 inches in male); 

and 5) an elevated FBS. It is apparent that if 

any three out of five make the diagnosis of 

metabolic syndrome, then an elevated FBS 

need not be part of making the diagnosis, 

thus allowing identification of prediabetes 

even BEFORE blood glucose is elevated. 

Once prediabetes is identified, there are 

powerful lifestyle-based strategies to prevent 

the progression to Type 2 diabetes and even 

to reverse prediabetes. Moreover, these strategies 

are not draconian or overly restrictive, 

and should be achievable by most interested, 

reasonably motivated individuals. 

The first lifestyle-based strategy is 

modest weight loss. In the diabetes prevention 

program trial, the loss of only 5-7% of 

the body weight of an overweight or obese 

individual with prediabetes could reduce 

the development of Type 2 diabetes by 57%. 

For example, a 5-foot, 2-inch female weighing 

200 pounds would need to lose only 

10-14 pounds to powerfully protect against 

the development of Type 2 diabetes, even 

though she was almost 60 pounds above 

her ideal body weight. While this weight loss 

may be achieved by caloric restriction either 

by a change in the composition of the diet or 

reduction in the amount of food consumed, 

or both, it is a strategy many can successfully 

employ. Alternatively, exercise – both aerobic 

and resistance activities – while monitoring 

and holding caloric intake steady, can 

aid in such modest weight loss. 

The second lifestyle-based strategy 

is time limited eating. While also called 

intermittent fasting, time-limited eating 

involves consuming calories for only a set 


number of hours a day and NOT taking 

in anything caloric-either food or drinkfor 

the remainder of the 24-hour period. 

Typically, time-limited eating does not 

change the composition of your diet or 

the amount you consume. Rather, it is 

the timing of eating that is important. 

On a so called 16/8 time-limited eating 

plan, you confine all calories consumed 

to an eight-hour period – generally, 

12-8pm – and eat or drink nothing 

caloric for the remainder of the 24-hour 

period. Amazingly, with this very simple 

and implementable change, weight 

is reduced, abdominal girth is reduced, 

blood pressure is reduced, cholesterol is 

improved, and blood sugar is reduced. 

In summary, Type 2 diabetes is preceded 

by several years of prediabetes 

during which simple lifestyle-based 

strategies can prevent progression to 

Type 2 diabetes and even reverse prediabetes. 

The first step in preventing Type 

2 diabetes is to identify prediabetes. 

Concern should be raised by a family history 

of Type 2 diabetes or the presence 

of BMI greater than 25, or both. The next 

step is the measurement of Fasting Blood 

Sugar and Hemoglobin A1c tests. Finally, 

identifying the condition called metabolic 

syndrome may allow the identification 

of prediabetes even before the elevation 

of blood sugar. Once prediabetes is 

identified, modest weight loss, exercise, 

and time-limited eating are effective lifestyle-based 

strategies 

for preventing 

Type 2 diabetes.

MATCH DAY 2023 

WITH JACK. 

Caitie Meyer’s love of running began as a youngster, 

while participating in her family’s yearly tradition of 

completing the Troy Turkey Trot. With parents who 

prioritized exercise (her mom was pregnant with her while 

training for a marathon) and a brother who provided healthy 

competition, it was almost inevitable. She played soccer in 

junior and senior high school, but decided to try cross-country 

running her senior year after being sidelined with an 

injury. “The team had a great coach, and I thought that I 

could be good. I saw myself improving quickly, and that I got 

out what I put in,” she recalls. While still in high school, she 

also began running what would become her favorite race, 

the Boston Marathon – the first time when she was just 17, as 

a fundraiser for scholarships for her school, and the second 

as part of a charity team for Massachusetts General Hospital. 

At Dartmouth College, she competed with the school 

team through sophomore year, but stopped when it interfered 

with her studies and didn’t offer a positive environment. She 

continued to run on her own, completing the Vermont City 

Marathon, the San Francisco Marathon, and the California 

International Marathon. Breaking three hours was one of her 

goals, and she achieved it the first time at the Nottingham 

Christmas Marathon in England, where she had moved to 

pursue a master’s degree in Health Policy, a year before medical 

school. She then also ran the London Marathon in 2:55. 

During those years, the Boston Marathon was still in 

Caitie’s sights, and she once again ran it for an organization 

that was important to her, Boston Health Care for the 

Homeless, which provides services to over 10,000 individuals 

every year. As of today, she has completed it 12 times, with a 

PR of 2:53 in 2019. 

She has also just realized another one of her dreams – 

becoming a physician, like her father, graduating Albany 

Medical College, and preparing to move to Boston to begin a 

three-year residency in internal medicine, possibly followed 

by an additional year focused on geriatrics. “I love the social 

complexity of helping older adults access both the medical 

and social care that they need. As individuals get older, our

FREIHOFER'S RUN 

FOR WOMEN 2022. 

society doesn’t take care of them as it should,” she says. “I’ve 

always been close with my grandparents and think about 

how their care can be improved.” 

While in medical school, she regularly volunteered in the 

Koinonia Primary Care in Arbor Hill, which provides primary 

care and mental health care in Albany’s poorest neighborhood. 

She was also involved with Project Safe Point, whose 

areas of focus include needle exchange, overdose prevention, 

and HIV screening. Not surprisingly, two of her heroes are 

Dr. Jim O’Connell, President of Boston Health Care for the 

Homeless, and Dr. Andrew Coates, a hospice and palliative 

medicine specialist at Albany Med, and she cites both for 

their selflessness and inspiring work. 

Another hero is her father, Dr. Gregg Meyer, who has 

served as a role model and motivator, by exercising daily 

while encouraging Caitie to push herself to set a goal and 

work on it consistently. That started when she was 10 years 

old, as the family was preparing to move from Washington, 

DC to Massachusetts. Back then, her hero was Mia Hamm, 

and she longed to join the soccer team at her new school. Her 

dad suggested that she run two miles every day to get in good 

shape. And, while she admits that she cried initially, she also 

acknowledges that her dedication clearly paid off. 

A few weeks ago, she was the top local Boston Marathon 

female finisher at 2:54:01, her 10th Boston Marathon in a 

row. In 2022, she had the fastest female time in the CDPHP 

Workforce Team Challenge in more than 10 years which was 

20:16, was eighth overall at the Freihofer’s Run for Women 

5K at 17:27, and third female overall in the Troy Turkey Trot 

10K in 36:06. 

Over the last few years, Caitie has run with the Willow 

Street Athletic Club team, as well as the running club at 

Albany Med, and has enjoyed the collegiality of these communities. 

And, although the marathon is her favorite distance 

to prepare for because of the structured training over a 

long period of time, she also enjoys the half-marathon, and 

appreciates the joy of an all-women’s race like the Freihofer’s 

5K. Her running heroes include those individuals who have 

attained running greatness while also holding down a regular 

job, such as Sarah Sellers, the nurse anesthetist, who trained 

before and after her shifts, and took second place in the 2018 

Boston Marathon. 

In addition to working as a primary care physician, 

Caitie also hopes to work on health care policy, focusing on 

improving systems within healthcare, removing barriers, and 

reaching populations that are underserved. “People’s ability 

to achieve good health is often not just based on medicine,” 

she says. Over the next month, though, before she starts her 

residency in June, she will take some much-needed time to 

relax, including a trip to Portugal with her fiancé, where they 

plan to enjoy cycling. 

When she moves to Boston, in addition to missing some 

of our great ice cream shops, like Kurver Kreme and Jim’s 

Tastee-Freez, Caitie mentions her favorite place to run, the 

Albany County Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail. But, there’s a 

very good chance that we will see her back here many times, 

not only to visit her mom’s family, and to see her many 

friends and colleagues, but also to try to beat her time in the 

Freihofer’s 5K, one of her current running goals. 

As she has been inspired by her own heroes, Caitie 

Meyer’s commitment to running and to improving the health 

care of those less fortunate inspires all of us. We wish you only 

the best, Caitie, and look forward to hearing about all of your 

future accomplishments!

deciding to have surgery. See the package insert on subchondroplasty.com for full information.

GOOD KARMA 5K ▼ 

RUN/WALK, NOW IN 

CLIFTON PARK. 

Continued from page 1 

Those seeking a longer challenge will be 

thrilled that the Whiteface Mountain Uphill 

Foot Race has returned. With its status as New 

York’s fifth highest peak, the climb is relentless, 

covering eight miles at an eight-percent grade 

up the Veterans’ Memorial Highway. As you 

approach the final, steepest mile, rest assured 

that you are not hallucinating – there really is a 

castle crowning the 3,500-foot peak. Take your 

time to explore and enjoy the 360-degree view! 

Your friends or family may purchase 

spectator passes and provide transport 

down. The race begins at 5:30pm, concurrent 

with the Uphill Bike Race – so you can 

cheer on the riders. The weather can shift 

from bottom to top, so you might want to tie a 

lightweight windbreaker around your waist. 

Afterwards, enjoy your meal voucher at one 

of the local restaurants. Sign up: whitefacerace.com/run. 

Other events slated for June 3 include the 

26th annual Charlton Heritage 5K Run/ 

Walk, as part of the friendly town-wide celebration 

of Founder’s Weekend, benefitting the 

Charlton Historical Society. The race begins at 

the Old Red School House and consists of an 

out-and-back course finishing at the historic St. 

Paul’s Church. 

The 5K offers something for everyone 

with a mix of rolling hills and flat recovery 

stretches along the back roads of this scenic 

rural community. There’s also a Kids’ One- 

Mile Fun Run. Visit: charlton5k.org. 

If you’d like to try a mixed surface, scenic 

trail and road race, the 12th annual Rail 

Trail to the Footbridge 5K Trail Race/Fun 

Walk is held at the Slate Valley Museum. 

Located in the Mettowee River Valley, along 

eastern border of Washington County, abutting 

Vermont’s lake region. The race offers 

unique local prizes and kids’ activities 

during the 5K at the Slate Valley Museum. 

There’s also a 1K Kids’ Fun Run. Register: 

railtrailtothefootbridge5k.com. 

Looking for something different? Try 

Prevention Council’s TUFF eNUFF 5K 

Obstacle Course Challenge, also on June 

3, which mirrors the council’s goals by 

encouraging kids, teens and adults to push 

themselves over, under around and through 

mucky obstacles. Festivities take place at the 

BOCES Campus in Saratoga Springs, where 

construction apprentices design the course 

layout, and culinary students furnish the 

refreshments. 

The Kids Run One-Mile for ages 4-11 

opens the day, with parents permitted to run 

alongside for no additional fee. Sign up for 

one of the three 5K waves, either individually 

or as a team, with costumes encouraged. 

Mud and fun guaranteed so make sure you 

take before and after photos to post! Register: 

finishright.com. 

The next day, Sunday, June 4, visit the 

Harriman State Office Building Campus in 

Albany for the Capital Region 5K Heart Walk 

& Run, with the run beginning at 8am and the 

walk at 10:45am. There is no registration fee 

required, but participants are encouraged to 

fundraise their contribution to heart disease 

prevention. Anyone who raises over $100 is 

invited to visit the online Hero Gear store to 

redeem a T-shirt or other prize. 

This is “a 5K with heart” to fight heart disease 

and stroke. If you are a heart attack or 

stroke survivor, you will be given a commemorative 

red or white ball cap to wear on your 

journey. Go to: capitalregionheartwalk.org. 

The following weekend, on Saturday, 

June 10, head out to the Kinderhook OK5K 

for a flat, fast loop around the historic village 

that’s full of community spirit – and walkers 

are welcome too. While there, pay homage 

to our eighth president, Martin Van Buren, 

who was born in Kinderhook and used the 

nickname OK Kinderhook during his election 

campaign. 

Enhancing the family-friendly atmosphere, 

the Kids’ Mile Run on an out-andback 

route is completely free, and students 

18 and under may run the 5K at a reduced 

rate. Proceeds are donated to local charities 

and participants are encouraged to 

bring a food item for the local pantry. Visit: 

ok5krace.com. 

Also on June 10, join the Girls on the Run 

5K, a joyful spring celebration that’s open to 

adults and children, runners and walkers of 

all abilities – to inhale determination, and 

exhale doubt! 

The Girls on the Run 5K is held at Joe 

Bruno Stadium, on the Hudson Valley 

Community College campus and surrounding 

residential streets, in Troy and North 

Greenbush. Proceeds benefit the Girls on 

the Run Capital Region scholarship program. 

Go to: gotrcr.org/5k. 

On Saturday, June 17, try the 9th annual 

Good Karma 5K Run/Walk, launching from 

a new location at the Shenendehowa High 

School Track in Clifton Park. The route is on 

closed-to-traffic campus roads, and duplicates 

the USATF certified Shenendehowa 

Veterans Day Dash. The flat and fast campus 

tour is a perfect place to log your testing-the-waters 

spring 5K. This event is noted 

for its welcoming atmosphere where all are 

invited – runners, walkers, kids, hand-cyclers 

and wheelchair riders. The youngest 

are encouraged to participate in the free 

Kids’ 0.5-Mile Fun Run. 

In addition, folks can enjoy the cultural 

vibe with a pre-race yoga warmup and 

yummy Indian street food afterwards. Enjoy 

the family entertainment which includes 

henna tattoos and Bollywood music. Postrace 

massages will be offered for free. There 

is even a virtual component for those who 

cannot fit the actual race day into their busy 

schedules. Virtual registrants may run or 

walk any 5K distance on road, track, trails 

or treadmill from June 17-25. Proceeds 

benefit AIM for Seva, a non-profit which 

provides free student housing near their 

school (plus food, clothing and healthcare), 

for rural Indian children who otherwise 

would not be able to pursue their education. 

Funds also benefit the Regional Food 

Bank of Northeastern New York. Register: 

goodkarma5k.com. 

Looking for a fun field trip on June 17? 

Then try the sixth annual Wilmington 

Whiteface 5K & 10K Whiskey Run & Walk, 

on quiet roads with scenic mountains surrounding 

you. Afterwards, refresh yourself 

with whiskey tastings, local distillers, food, 

festival, and Whiskey Run photo frame. Also, 

check out the 1812 Battle of Plattsburgh 

reenactors to learn how Wilmington supplied 

whiskey to the American soldiers, 

and later served as a safe haven for prohibition 

era bootleggers traveling across the 

Canadian border. 

The Whiskey Run is a benefit for the 

Wilmington Historical Society. Plan a weekend 

stay and enjoy the many hiking and 

mountain biking trails, Whiteface gondola 

ride, High Falls Gorge, paddling area lakes 

and rivers, and visit nearby Lake Placid. Sign 

up: adkwhiskeyrun.com. 

On Saturday, June 24, it is back to a longer 

but doable distance with the Adirondack 

Runners’ Adirondack 7 Mile Race to the 

Lakes. Launching from SUNY Adirondack in 

Queensbury, runners will traverse a very pleasant 

route past Glen Lake and to Lake George, 

which includes sections of the SUNY campus, 

scenic country roads, and delightful stretches 

along the shaded traffic-free Warren County 

Bike Path. The course is essentially the same as 

the previous nine-mile jaunt, with the elimination 

of the hilly two-mile out-and-back detour 

before the bike path. Excitement builds as you 

approach scenic Lake George, near Million 

Dollar Beach, where amazing views, cooling 

sea breezes and refreshments await. 

Take your time enjoying the beach as 

there will be plenty of busses available to 

transport you back to your car at SUNY 

Adirondack. Or better yet, arrange for your 

friends to meet you at Battlefield Park, 

enjoy a leisurely picnic, and then wander 

around the various French and Indian and 

Revolutionary War landmarks. Register early 

for a performance running shirt to all who 

register by May 30, and the race is limited to 

300 runners. Go to: zippyreg.com. 

Take the opportunity to enjoy several of 

these events before the onset of the dog days 

of July!

◀ AL BILLS AND TJ, 

FIRST HALF. 

▼ MIKE LANGEVIN 

AND TJ, FINISH.

AND AL. 


Been There, Run That 

TJ Takes on Boston… Again! 

By TJ Sherwin 

If you want to run the Boston Marathon, 

you have to want it bad enough! That’s 

exactly how Joe Aliberti of Voorheesville 

and I were able to complete the Boston 

Marathon this year; we REALLY wanted it. 

Lining up at that starting line, seeing all the 

greatest runners in the world, and making 

that last turn on to Boylston hearing the 

crowds screaming gives you the magical 

energy to finish and finish strong. 

As a legally deaf and vision impaired runner, 

I have the opportunity to meet and run 

with some amazing people, including my 

support runners. Joe wasn’t one of my support 

runners this year. After doing the second 

half with me last year, he decided to qualify, 

and run the Boston Marathon on his own this 

year – and finished with a great time. 

Last year, I attempted and finished my first 

Boston: adksports.com/2022-05-running. 

Since I didn’t properly train for the Boston 

Marathon last year, I got stuck, though I was 

proud to still finish. I have had the opportunity 

the past year to learn from my mistakes 

and improve. I took notes and trained, fueled, 

and prepared better this year. Although I still 

made some mistakes, I am excited and motivated 

to continue to learn, grow, and better 

myself for my next marathon, because there 

will definitely be a next one! 

Preparing for and running a marathon 

takes perseverance and discipline. It takes a 

positive attitude, grit, determination, and a 

unique perspective on life. 

I went hiking recently and along the way 

I came across three different people. The first 

said there was ice and to be careful. The next 

said the marking sign was fake news and the 

hike is longer than you think. The last person 

said going up the stairs is harder than 

going down. Hearing all three perspectives, 

I had a choice. I could have listened to their 

warnings, turned around and went home 

and maybe looked at some pictures online, 

or I could have kept going. I told myself 

turning around was not an option. I came 

to find a waterfall and I didn’t want to stop 

until I reached my goal. I wanted to really 

feel and experience that waterfall up close, 

not through the eyes of a stranger. 

That is just like running the Boston 

Marathon. The first year I ran, people told 

me it was hard. Although I understood that 

this wasn’t meant to be an easy journey, I 

wanted to experience it for myself. Running 

is hard; it’s lot of work to train for any big 

event. I remember when running 200 meters 

20 years ago felt impossible, but I kept trying. 

I got better and I kept going farther, and now 

I can run 26.2 miles. 

Life is all about timing. You have to be 

in the right place at the right time. I wasn’t 

ready to run Boston 10 years ago, nor did I 

have the strong support system to help me 

that I am so thankful to have now. Al Bills 

ran the first half with me this year and Mike 

Langevin of Colonie ran the second. They 

▲ MADE IT TO BOSTON. 

both did a fantastic job out there helping; 

showing me where water stops and bathrooms 

were during the race, and slowing me 

down if I was running too fast. I felt so solid 

and strong this year that I still don’t know 

where Heartbreak Hill was; it all looked pretty 

flat to me. 

Running the Boston Marathon isn’t just 

about race day. It’s the whole journey: all 

the runs I did with my training group and 

the laughs, sweat, and tears we experienced 

together. We all had fun and that’s what is 

most important in my opinion. Every step 

of the journey is what makes it so great. Just 

getting out there every day doing what we 

love to do: run, and all the friendships we 

make along the way.
