DEDICATED MARATHONERS Layton High School students Rich Elmore, left, and Joe Turner burn the pavement in preparation for upcoming marathons in salt Lake City and St. George. 26-oi- le By DONETA GATHERUM - What could motivate two young men to spend at least 25 minutes each day running uphill? In the case of Joe Turner and Rich Elmore of Layton, the motivation is the immediate goal of completing the 24th of July marathon race in 3 hours 10 minutes and the St. George marathon in 3 hours. A second more distant goal that is a motivational factor for the two Laytonites is a desire to run in the Boston Marathon. LAYTON high school-age- d JOE AND Rich have been running for about a year. Rich became interested in the activity because of the success one of his neighbors had with distant running, similarly Joe started running because of the encouragement he received from an adult neighbor. In one years time, Rich has completed 15 road races including one marathon. JOE HAS specialized a little more. He has skipped the short fun runs in favor of two marathon races. Both are on the Layton High School track team running the one and two mile events. 26-mi- le WHEN THE boys first became interested running, they read many books about the subject to get an idea about proper training in procedures. The beginning was a gradual build-u- p of work out exercises and running distances quotas. Today, the boys run from 40 to 70 miles each week depending on the weather and their schedule. They train uphill be cause it makes things easier when you run downhill, Rich states. TRAINING slacks off during the winter months. The heavy running season is from May through October. Joe says a serious runner should average about 8 miles a day or 25 minutes of running. Just before a marathon race, the boys run 18 miles at least once a week. This training task takes about two hours. JOE AND Rich find there are many benefits to marathon race training. "It helps you with other sports, Joe explains. Running keeps you in good condition. It doesnt increase your appetite for food. You are thirsty and tired. The biggest reason for entering a marathon race, Rich firmly states, "is the feeling of accomplishment you get. Twenty-si- x miles of running is the ultimate challenge. RUNNING IS a reasonably inexpensive sport. The biggest investment is in the shoes. You must wear training shoes with padding and support. Comfortable ankle socks are important also, states Joe. Shoes will last about a year. The boys start breaking in a pair of shoes about a month before a marathon race. Joe Turner and Rich Elmore are two boys with a definite goal in mind and the skills and motivation needed to achieve a time of 3 hours in the two biggest Utah marathon races. Watch for their names on the list of winners come July 24 in Salt Lake City and Oct. 1 in St. George. THE PROJECT is under the general chairmanship of Rick Halverson.

The culinary distribution system sells water to all of the communities in the district and owns three treatment plants to condition it.
