Conover’s first step back will be a rugged 6.5 miles

[Mark Conover]‘s story, and those of about 6,000 other runners and walkers, will be brought together when the 10th annual 6.5-mile run from Coronado to Balboa Park begins at 7:45 a.m. Sunday. The largest single-day fund-raiser in the country for the Leukemia Society, the race includes a pair of long climbs, one over the Coronado Bridge itself and the other a two-mile ascent into Balboa Park. It’s a tough test for any runner, but particularly for Conover. The 29-year-old from San Luis Obispo climbed to the pinnacle of American marathoning in 1988, surprising nearly everyone by winning the wind-swept U.S. Olympic Trials in New Jersey. But then came a disappointing finish at Seoul’s Olympics and surgery on the Achilles’ tendon in his right foot. WHO: Approximately 6,000 runners/walkers. Included in the elite field are: Men — Thom Hunt, [Bill Reifsnyder], [Matt Clayton], Matt Guisto, Steve McCormack, Alan Scharsu, Harry Green, Danny Grimes, Brad Hudson, Chuck Trujillo, Milfred Tewawina, Bo Reed, Jim Klein. Women — Kellie Cathey, Tina Ljungberg, Jeanne Lasse-Johnson.

Darthard ponders decisionTCU back will decide Monday on whether to end career

Texas tight end Kerry Cash, a junior from Holmes, practiced Thursday night for the first time since his right calf began swelling Sunday. He is still questionable, however, for Saturday’s Rice game. . . Texas coach David McWilliams says he may not announce his starting quarterback until just before game time Saturday. McWilliams will decide between sophomore Mark Murdock, redshirt freshman Peter Gardere and Donovan Forbes, a fifth-year senior. . . . Arkansas senior running back James Rouse is expected to start for the second straight game Saturday against TCU, even though freshman redshirt E.D. Jackson is at full speed again. [Cedric Jackson] sat out last week’s UT-El Paso game with a sprained ankle. Rouse rushed for 86 yards to move within 31 yards of Arkansas’ third-highest all-time rusher, Bill Burnett. Rouse has 2,173 career rushing yards. . . . Texas Tech senior I-back James Gray needs just 27 rushing yards Saturday against Texas A&M to become the 12th SWC player to reach 3,000 career yards. . . . Defending SWC cross country champion Reuben Reina, a Jay graduate, will miss his second straight meet Saturday because of a sore Achilles’ tendon. In the Razorbacks’ first meet three weeks ago in Little Rock, Reina finished second with a personal-best 23:40. Because Reina still isn’t healed, Arkansas coach John McDonnell pulled his team out of this week’s Stanford Invitational and entered them in a meet at Southwest Missouri State

PROFOOTBALL / WEEK 6 Chiefs-Raiders: a Game to Build On

The Raiders are three-point favorites. . . . The Raiders are inviting fans coming to this game to contribute three cans of food to the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank . . . The Raiders’ interest in suspended San Francisco 49er cornerback Don McKyer continues. 49er General Manager John McVay, said last week that the Raiders are the most interested bidder. The 49ers are asking a No. 2 pick. . . [Ron Jaworski] replaces Steve DeBerg, who opened the season as the No. 1 quarterback but was demoted after throwing eight interceptions in four games. Jaworski tried out with the Raiders before the 1987 season, but he was coming off a tendon injury in his throwing hand and had a terrible workout. The Raiders waived defensive lineman Pete Koch to make room for [Bo Jackson].

‘Effective’ ibuprofen not all things to all pain

I used ibuprofen to treat conditions where the pain was associated with inflammation. A sports or other traumatic injury to muscle, joint, ligament or tendon would be something for which I’d prescribe ibuprofen. Arthritis – pain and swelling in a joint – would be another use. That’s not to say that ibuprofen is not an effective pain reliever for mild to moderate pain. Or that it is not more effective than ASA (Aspirin) or acetaminophen for menstrual cramps. Or that it will not effectively treat a fever. All I’m saying is that ibuprofen is no miracle drug and it certainly isn’t anything new. Should you buy non-prescription ibuprofen? I don’t think so. For general aches and pains, headache or fever control, I recommend acetaminophen. For dental or post-surgical pain, I recommend whatever the dentist or surgeon has suggested. If you’ve got menstrual pain, then I agree that ibuprofen will likely be more effective than ASA or acetaminophen. If you have arthritis or any other condition where there is inflammation as well as pain, then ibuprofen will be more effective than acetaminophen and possibly safer than ASA.
