p30 weekender april 24 1993 st kavluk just keeps on running kim kavluk centre has taken part in three straight boston marathon events in this years race which was held monday the 38yearold stouffville resident finished 953rd out of a field of 8800 runners this photo of kavluk was taken during last years event a hard training has paid rewarding dividends for 38- yearold marathon runner kim kavluk bruce stapley correspondent it was business as usual for kim kavluk wednesday morning at the family insurance business in scarborough but the 38yearold stouffville resident was the first to admit he was still hurting or wobbling as he put it after surviving mondays brutally warm boston marathon kavluk running in his third straight beantown event placed 953rd out of an unwieldy field of 8800 runners at the 97th running of the renowned 26 2mile foot race his time of three hours five minutes and 33 seconds was a full minute ahead of his 1992 performance when he finished 1450th overall however last years high humidity was like a kiss when compared to mondays temperature which soared to an unseasonably excruciating 77 degrees fahrenheit it was the toughest one ive ever run admitted kavluk but i was very happy with how i did especially considering the conditions i improved 500 positions over last year for kavluk just finishing was something to be excited about the heat knocked 3700 people right out of the race the medical tent has 240 beds and it was filled four times throughout the race its a good thing so many people dropped out of the race or it would have been even worse kavluk said the high temperature took everyone by surprise the reason they run marathons in the spring and fall is because the temperature is usually ideal at that time of year about 5565 degrees fahrenheit he attributed his ability to finish the way he did to his continuous fluid intake i kept taking fluid every mile or mile and a half they had extra water stations because of the heat and many of the two million or so spectators along the way were handing out water or gatorade he said his previous marathon experiences helped as well the more marathons you have under your belt the better he said kavluk ran three marathons last year he recorded his personal best ever marathon time in chicago last november checking it at three hours three minutes and seven seconds he ran the toronto marathon in three hours and 11 minutes in october before the year is out he plans to enter the marine corps marathon in washington dc this october he also credited a rigid training schedule for his performance monday i trained hard i averaged 50 miles a week then built up to about 70 miles a week a month and a half before the race i tapered off two weeks before race day so i could rest up kavluk expressed his amazement at how well organized the boston marathon was it runs so smoothly there are about three or four thousand volunteers they bus you out to hapkington where the race begins- and the fans were wild as ever it was a great turnout kavluk arrived in boston last saturday returning home tuesday his accomplishment earned him recognition in two toronto newspapers which acknowledged the top finishing canadians in the race kavluk said he had hoped this might be the year he finally achieved his goal of finishing the race in under three hours he said he would keep trying however and wouid definitely be out there when the boston marathon turns 100 in 1996 i was still pleased with how i did this year and it was my fastest time for the boston marathon maybe ill break the threehour mark next year and i want to be there for sure for the 100th running of the race morton is eager to kick up a storm with his firstyear senior ladies soccer team bruce stapley
