Riley M., Dedicated Member
Q) How long have you been a member at the UM-Flint Rec Center?
A) Winter of 1988 I started taking classes at UM-Flint. My last class was the Winter 2004.
Membership may have lapsed at times, but have been running on the track for 31 years.
I've ran over 43,000 miles in my life, I'd guess 5% have been ran on the UM-Flint track.
I'm thinking more miles than any other present or past members.
Q) How did you find out about the Rec Center/ What motivated you to join?
A) I probably first heard of it from my brother. He was a student and working for Gary Parr back in 1980-1983.
I'd been going to classes in 1988 for a few weeks before hearing the rec was included in tuition.
Upon hearing that is when I started going.
Q) What are your favorite aspects of the Rec Center?
A) The track of course. But, I only use it when temperature is below 40.
Being 68 years old I stay off snowy and icy surfaces.
One fall at this age could end my 43 year running career.
So, my favorite aspect is a warm, safe, place to run when needed.
Q) What advice would you give new members/How would you motivate someone new to join?
A) It's good to exercise and condition all muscles, but don't forget what your most important muscle is--it's your heart.
Get your heart in shape first, then move on to the rest of the body. Use the track or cardio room.
Q) Anything else you would like to mention?
A) A couple years ago I marked the track with maize and blue duct tape.
They are five markers on the inner railing poles. The track is accurately measured and is 10.6 laps/mile as stated.
After running 10.5 laps look for the next maize and blue marker, that is 10.6 or 1 mile.
53 laps equal 5 miles, the distance I usually do.
