Dr. George Sheehan
Author considers
runnino a 'rebirth'
By Jamie Collom
Gamecock Staff Writer
"To be a success in this life, you first have to be a good animal ... a
wild, not a domestic animal," said George Sheehan, medical consultant
of Runner's World magazine, during a lecture Monday.
A 61-year-old cardiologist and author of several books on running,
Sheehan started the sport at 45 and lost 25 pounds, something he considers
a "rebirth" in his life.
"Every minute I run I'm reborn," he said, before showing a sixminute
film titled. "Runnim? with n?* Cporon shoohun "
SIIKKHAN KMPI1ASIZKI) that a person must get the maximum use
out of his or her body so that it will operate at its best. A fear of not
knowing one's capabilities exists if one is not aware of his limitations,
he said.
Running or training doesn't necessarily assure longevity, Sheehan
said, but a healthy state of the entire body might. He stressed the mind
and body should be one.
"It's a concept of oneness," he said.
Sheehan encouraged everyone to find "some self-renewing force that
makes you want to live again." Play and sport were the main points he
made as "the essential ingredients of fitness." We can learn a lot from
the nine-year-old child who can't wait for the next day to come," he

Sheehan said he was once asked by a woman if a nine-year-old child
could run in a marathon. "Why not?" he said. "Kids probably run
marathons everyday. Everyone's got to find that child inside himself.
Activity is play, although there may be no purpose to it."
WHEN SHEEHAN was running the Boston Marathon in 1978, he was
asked why he entered the race. He said he ran, " to elevate my high
density lipids."
Sheehan said sport is "sacred and festive." Sport can be measured in
inches or time but there's always a closure involved. "Sports take you
into exhalation, and give you relaxation and mirth," he said.
The true test of devotion to a sport is when "you become a tremendous

Sheehan said he is often asked about his diet. He said he eats a high
protein diet of two eggs for breakfast and salad or yogurt for lunch with
a Tab soft drink. After running 10 miles every other day, he said he eats
a carbohydrate dinner.
"I GO Italian," he explained. "I eat protein in the mornings, as they
wake you up, and carbohydrates for dinner ? they bring you down."

If the game room is moved, money will be needed to renovate the
space left empty. The game room will probably be filled with an expansion
of the Student Activities Office, Brant said.
Included in the $1.8 million are plans for the partial closing of Greene
Street and conversion of the area to a pedestrian mall.
a $;s:>,(k)u project tor Benson School across from Bates House is
planned to house classes for public health education. A room in the
physical education center will be modified for public health education at
a cost of $53,700.
A renovation of Davis College, which houses the College of
Librarianship has been planned for several years, Harold Brunton vice
president of operations, said. The $ft5,000 project approved by the board
will finance the start of a study for renovating the college.
