Vic Papagno (vic_runner@yahoo.com) My running started in 2004, only about 20 years after I tried and failed to run in high school. I always thought I had it in me, but it felt so good to survive those first few months of becoming a runner and making my daydreams a reality. Now I enjoy many of the big and small races Southern Maryland has to offer, and have raced the Lower Potomac Marathon for the last two years. Running is completely enjoyable on its own, and I do my best thinking while out on a long run. Racing gives me a charge to push myself like nothing else I've found. Running with a race in mind ties all of that together and gets me out there on the road on days I might not. So whether it's a 5k next week or a marathon six months down the road, I run these days with goals in mind and a reason to take that first step out the door.

Travis Priest (travis.priest@wylelabs.com) I have always enjoyed running, and as an adult I realize what a wonderful gift that is. So many times I'll hear an athlete talking about a workout like it's a chore. I'm fortunate in that I really look forward to each and every workout. I must be an endorphin junky or something. Unfortunately I only ran track in my freshman and senior years of high school, and never joined the cross country team. I still kick myself for that. Now, as an athlete in the 40 something category I take my running very seriously (diet, training, reading, and most difficult of all – recovery). Each season I set new goals for myself (some more realistic than others), and this season is no different. I hope to see lots of familiar and new faces while I'm striving to reach my goals at local and not-so-local races. Here's to another great CBRC season under the leadership of Vic Papagno.

Sierra Schenk (sierraschenk@yahoo.com) In April 2005 I found myself running my first race - a half marathon - aboard MCAS Cherry Point, NC, with little preparation. I was the third female across the finish line, which was enough to jump-start my real interest in running. I began running races (5Ks to half-marathons) as often as I could. In February 2006, my husband, two children, and I traded eastern North Carolina for Southern Maryland (a little less hot and flat), and I have since found a great group of people to run with through CBRC.

Paul Serra (runman02@comcast.net) I started running competitively in junior high were I grew up in Vineland, NJ. Though not a star, I ran varsity cross country and track at the College of William and Mary. Unlike many of the scholarship athletes, I truly enjoyed running and continued after college. These days, I maintain my fitness through running and competing. I love the times I get to run, talk and enjoy the scenery with others. The Club is a great way to get to meet and know others who share the love of running.
