New Members, Getting Together, Gutting it Out, Pics and Results


New Members
Welcome to two new members.  Amanda lemon tells us, "I was at the 5K race for Habitat for Humanity in Quakertown this morning and I would love to join the Bux-Mont Running Club! I have 
been running by myself for almost a year and I have completed two 5K races. As much as I love running solo, I think it's time to start running with other people and build up my endurance."  Also welcome Rick Werkheiser who comes to us via the website.  

Group Run
We're about due for a group run (important) followed by group food (more important).  There are choices as to date and venue.  Possible dates are Saturday 12/18 or Friday 12/31 (or both if enough are interested).  Venues are (from West to East) Green Lane Trails/Coopersburg Diner; Pfaff elementary (Rotary March race course)/Spinnerstown Hotel and Lake Galena/Roman Delight-Dublin Diner-Luberto's.  Weigh in with your choice and hopefully we can get two groups out.  Either post a comment or e-mail me at bill.tuszynski@gmail.com.

Dedication
Here's an amazing story about the Norther California Girls' XC Championship.  It's about a young runner, Holland Reynolds, who bonked on the course, collapsed just short of the finish line and managed to crawl across to give her team the championship.  There's a link in the article (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/02/sports/02runner.html?hpw) to a video of the race showing what happened.  You have to watch about 20 minutes before seeing her come in but it's worth it. 

Habitat Pictures
Photos from Saturday's Habitat 5K are up on www.flickr.com. Search for 2010 Quakertown Rotary Habitat 5K.  The results are posted on www.peakrace.com and will be up shortly on www.habitatbucks.org. Thanks to all the Bux-Monters who came out.

Race Results
A very busy weekend out there.  Kudos to those who braved the snow and slush on Thursday.  Special notice to Colin McLaughlin who ran a great race to take second at the Habitat 5K.  My chip disappeared at Berwick so my result is unofficial.  The chance to shave a few minutes was tempting, but resisted.
