Turning One, Turning Ugly (with Carpool), Turning Flexible

Posting early this week. . .

Happy Birthday
Congratulations to Jill Forsythe for the one-year anniversary of Lehigh Valley Running Scene.  Between news, profiles, give-aways and events through the website and Facebook, Jill's done yeo-woman work to unite the local running community.  Thanks for a job well done with more to come..

Ugly Ugly Ugly Mudder
2007 - Ice covered hills only navigable in a seated position with face-plants into trees the sole available method of stopping.
2010 - Knee-deep snow with a 12" wide single track beaten down by the leaders.

What will 2011 bring?  The current alternating warm and cold looks like ice.  A few more snowstorms and we're in for a repeat of last year.  Or it could be warm for the next three weeks and we trade knee deep snow for knee deep mud.  Who would want to miss any of these?  Carpool.  Quakertown T-Pike Park & Ride, leaving at 9:15.  Be there with spare clothes and clean shoes.

Being Adaptable
Nice job by Superbowl 10K co-directors Chris Garges and Carly Patterson in being able to adapt the Superbowl 10K course due to icy conditions.  It was also nice to have the runners adapt with no griping I heard.  There was plenty of traffic at the water stop with runners going in both directions.

Race Calendar
Lots of additions to the race calendar, including any number directed by club members.  Make sure to choose those races when you can to help your fellow Bux-Monters.

Club Races
Steelers or Packers? Packers or Steelers?  Either way, hit the races to pre-work off the game time snacks.  Head out to the Shiver by the River is you're not already registered for the Superbowl 10K.
