Family Trees
My
dad is an enthusiastic genealogist. He is constantly adding people to our
family tree through on-line research and genealogy books about the Pennsylvania
area. If you are from Pennsylvania, then there is a good chance that you are
already in my personal family tree.
But,
even if you are not in my genetic family tree, I think of you as part of my
Santa Clarita Runner family tree. The Santa Clarita community is the trunk and
the branches are the different running groups in the valley. Each of these
branches sprout twigs that are mini families. Some of our twigs are the
Hamsters, the Rodents, the Tuesday morning Central Park Runners, the Misfits,
Saturday Morning girl power and many other groups. Then there are the leaves on
the tree representing the individual runners in our community. Our common DNA
is our passion for running.
Some
of the other branches on the running tree include the youth running programs
such as Warriors and Storm then there are the High School Cross Country teams
and Track and Field Teams. There are also groups like SOAR, Runner’s Lane and
Valencia Trail Runners. In addition, there are many other runners in the
community that don’t belong to a running club but are dedicated runners just
the same.
Although
we may have some grievances with some members of our running family, just like
within your own family, it is my wish that we unite in a common goal. The goal
is convincing the city of Santa Clarita that there are runners all over this
valley that would appreciate having a track to practice on that is open to the
public and available to reserve for events just like the fields at Central
Park. There are many groups vying for the same track locations within the city
and it is becoming much more difficult to secure them due to other sports and
scheduling conflicts. Having one more track in the valley may not alleviate all
the problems but it certainly won’t hurt the situation. Let’s put aside our
differences and gather together all the branches, twigs and leaves and work on
a plan together in such a way that it will be hard for the city to ignore us.
Please send me an email at president@scrunners.org if you would like to
be part of this effort.
As always, we encourage you to submit articles as well
as photos and race results to publish!
Enjoy this edition of the SCRambler
and if you have any comments or suggestions please forward them to me as well!

Spotlight! Meet Hiranjan Rodrigo
by Mary Petersen
You probably know Gayoshi Rodrigo.
You may have seen her fly by you at Tuesday night track. She’s the one who
captured all the swag at the banquet with her highest point total. But you may
not know her husband, Hiranjan, a new member of the
Santa Clarita Runners Club. He has been running for just six months yet has
already completed a half marathon.
Hiranjan never ran in high school but he
played field hockey and competed in hurdle events with his high school team. He
did well and attributes his success to a great coach who helped him train and
master the style of jumping. Once he
started college, however, he no longer had time for sports as academics and
business occupied most of his time.
Hiranjan is the youngest of seven children
and the only boy. (He has six older sisters!) He and Gayoshi
were born and raised in Sri Lanka. Twenty years ago they
made their way to the United States when Gayoshi
received a scholarship to pursue a Master’s Degree at UCLA. This was a
momentous decision to make. Hiranjan had started his
own advertising company and had 30 employees. It was a painful task to tell them
that the business was closing and he was moving. But
with gratitude in his heart, he generously gave the staff all
of his business equipment although this meant facing a financial loss.
It was a sacrifice to leave everything including friends and
family and launch into a new life. But the couple felt that the move would
offer a better life for the family, especially since Sri Lanka was in the midst of a civil war. The U.S. would provide a safer
environment with more opportunities for their son Davi
and daughter Davina. (They would be blessed with one more daughter, Dhanya, born in the U.S.) Once here, Hiranjan
started a photography business and a company teaching coding to elementary
children. They set down roots in Santa Clarita and made new friends.
The motivation for Hiranjan to
start running came from his younger daughter, Dhanya.
She ran cross country in high school and was extremely disciplined in running.
She talked to her dad about her workouts and wanted him to start running.
Although Hiranjan says he was not a runner, he wanted
to share this experience with his daughter. So he
started slowly. He began walking with his older daughter, Davina. He hiked a
lot. Eventually, he adopted the strategy to run a minute and walk a minute.
Then he ran two minutes and walked a minute. Finally
he built up his stamina to run 30 minutes without stopping.
In June of 2019 Hiranjan joined
Santa Clarita Runners, and the following month on his birthday he completed the
Portland 5K in 28.10. Very impressive for a non-runner! But his determination
did not stop there. By November he had completed his first half marathon, the
Ventura Half. It was quite a challenge, and he would like to give Paola special
thanks for staying with him on the run and giving him the encouragement to finish
it. Hiranjan says he’s glad he joined the run club.
It motivates him to run more miles, and he likes running with a group instead
of alone. His favorite workout is track where he sees the most progress.
Running with the club has helped him run faster and for longer distances.
Hiranjan’s running goal is to complete one
marathon in his lifetime. He says he has talked to people, and they tell him he
won’t stop with one, so he’ll see. He would also like to “redeem” himself and
run another half marathon with a better time. What has put a damper on his
training is his diagnosis of planter fasciitis. This is discouraging because he
knows he must rest the injury yet he hates to miss out
on the Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday club runs. For months he’s had to be
patient. He’s currently finishing physical therapy and exercising at home. The
good news is his pain level has decreased, so he hopes to be running soon. He is registered to run the Nashville 15K on
February 15, and he doesn’t want to miss that.
Hiranjan says he enjoys being a member of the
club and meeting new friends. Since his favorite restaurant is any place that
serves beer, he fits right in with the group. With his wacky sense of humor, he
has become an official member of the Roadents. We look forward to
many more runs, many more beers, and many more years with Hiranjan.

Women Run L.A. 5K Feb 23, 2020
By Betsy Swallow
One of my New Year’s resolutions was
to participate in one race per month. In January, I did the Masters 5K, so one
down. In February, I dilly-dallied around, and by the time I decided to sign up
for SOAR’s Mardi Gras Madness, it was already full. What to do??
Browsing online, I ran across Women
Run L A, which had a Half, 10K, and 5K, conveniently held at Hansen Dam
Recreation Area, on Feb 23, proceeds to aid underserved women and
children. Those of you who are tenured
Club members (better than saying “old”) might recall that the Club used to put
on our very own Women’s 5K, held in various locations, even Pico Canyon! The
last one I can confirm, since I have the T-shirt, was the 25th
Anniversary Run, held March 24, 2007. So a proud
tradition came to a close. But I digress.
I arrived at Hansen Dam in plenty of
time, got a great parking spot, signed in, and watched the Half-marathoners
take off at 8:30, and the 10K runners at 9:00. Around the little lake they
went, and out of sight! Mostly women, but a few runners of the male variety.
Several of pace groups for the Half had a male leader. The 2:15 pace group
leader was clad only in a Speedo and his sneakers. I hope he had plenty of
sunscreen on.
My race started at 9:30, and off we
went, around the lake, across the park, and up onto to the dam. Our turn-around
was about one-third of the way across, then back the way we came. The 10K run went all the way across the dam,
and the half did two loops, coming back through the Start/Finish area to go
again. (I always hated races like that, myself.) It was an enjoyable course,
easy to follow, and sunny but not hot.
Along with the usual finish-line
snacks, we were also served Krispy Kreme donuts. All the usual amenities, such
as music, a massage table, various vendors, and a food truck made a festive
finish area. The awards were for the top three runners in each race, no age
group awards, so they didn’t take long.
Another Women Run L.A. Race will be held in Oxnard, in May. I’d consider
doing that one, too!
Mt. Hollywood Sign
Trail Race12K/8K
Feb 9th, 2020
By Elizabeth Conzevoy
With rain in the forecast again. . . my last three races I
had the same forecast, my fellow trail running friend, Kara Duenas, picked me
up at at 6 a.m. and we were on our way to the Merry
Go Round Parking lot at Griffith Park.
We made sure we had exact directions this time, as we had driven around
in circles trying to find the preview run (ask Jen Todd!). We parked and walked up the short trail to
the start of the race at the Old Zoo.
For those of you SCR history buffs out there, the zoo you go to now is
actually “New zoo.” The Old Zoo opened in 1912 and then closed in 1966, you can check out pictures here of the old cages still
there as well as picnic tables: https://californiathroughmylens.com/old-la-zoo-griffith-park! Anyways, back to the race. . .
We started a little late, but the rain had held off and the
sun was coming out! It was an out and
back and the out was basically all uphill.
The trail was mainly fire road, just a few narrow parts which made it
easy to keep an even pace as we all trekked up the mountain. I did slow down (even slower than I was
already going) a few times to take in the amazing views of the mountain and
valley below! The hills were green, and
the sun was out but the hill was loooong. A couple of minutes from the turnaround I saw
Mike Cassidy, my fellow SCR running back from it. I cheered him on and continued up to the
turnaround where I stopped and snapped a few pictures with the Mt. Hollywood sign
directly behind me.
Turning around, I started the much more enjoyable run back
down the hill where I could make up some time going from 15-18 minutes up to
about 8-9-minute miles down! Across the finish line at 1:22:30, I accepted my
Mt. Hollywood Sign finish medal and snapped a quick picture with my fellow
SCR. Kara wasn’t too far behind me,
crossing at 1:31:22, finishing her longest race to date.
We sampled some great nitro coffee, grabbed our snacks, and
posed for a quick picture at the finish line.
It started to get cold and we realized the rain was finally coming. So, we headed out driving back to Santa
Clarita feeling a great sense of accomplishment. About halfway back, the sky opened up but we were warm and dry inside.
A great trail race with amazing views! I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting
to try a local trail race. Don’t bother
with the 8K, just do the 12K with the view! The price was right, and the trail
was well marked and easy to follow. Just
make sure you print out the directions to the parking lot!
Old Zoo cages at the
start!

We predict
that the 10th Annual Prediction Run will take place on Saturday, April
11th. Our magic 8 ball says “All signs point to “YES” when asking if the
gathering time is 7:40 am for the course "reveal" and 8
amfor the start.
We asked our
psychic and she said that the course will be between 3-5 miles and we will
gather at the far end of Central Park near the soccer fields.
Our Ouija
board told us that the event is free to all active club members. The club will
provide water and coffee, but please bring a treat to share with your fellow
club members.
The mirror on
the wall showed us that last year’s winner Jason and dog Jake will be looking
to repeat.
If you would
like to be the winner of the coveted Prediction Run trophy, then leave your
watches at home and come join us.
