New Members
Kevin Quinn - Started running on April Fools 2009. I was overweight and out of shape. My wife and I agreed to run the Tex Mex 5k in June. Initially I struggled badly. Soon after I was hooked. I quickly ran another 5k then set out to run a half marathon. I've since completed numbers 5k-12k race, three half marathons, and a full. I am currently training for my 2nd marathon in Lake Placid, NY this June. My wife, son, and I live in Warminster. We are expecting Quinn Baby #2, aka QB2, late August.
Welcome Mona Bodkin. Also joining us are Jenna and Tyler Papaz, Art and Barbara Burger, Karl Neumann and David Rodgers from the Rotary 4 & 10. Welcome to all.
Thanks
Thanks to all the runners, especially Bux-Mont members who came out for the Rotary Run for Youth 4M & 10M races. Also appreciated were the comments about how easy the courses are. Thanks especially to Kyle Smith, Bux-Monter, Rotarian and co-director, Bryan Gaj, also a double dipper Rotarian and Bux-Monter, and non-Rotarian running club members Corrin Smith, Terry Rooney and Jerry Washcalus for being part of race day from the volunteer side. We had our largest turnout yet and look to keep growing until we run out of parking spaces. Rumor has it that a number finished off their rehydration at the tap room of the Spinnerstown Hotel.
Too Much of a Good Thing
Here's an interesting article suggesting that heart damage can result from extended periods of highly strenuous workouts. The good news is that any scarring seems to reversible when backing off training, at least in rats. I knew I was on to something by being a slacker! http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/09/when-exercise-is-too-much-of-a-good-thing/
Another Kind of Race - Part I
Looking for a two-sport event (sort of)? If you enjoyed the races at Coca Cola field for the Iron Pigs and the race at Reading's baseball stadium, you can try Will's 5K in Chester which combines a race with non-American football. soccer players do run a bit more than baseball players although I don't know many International footballers who can execute a hit-and-run.
Another Kind of Race - Part II
A unique event you may want to check out, at least if you have a gun, is the PA Summer Biathlon on April 23. Steadying yourself to shoot accurately can be a challenge after a hard sprint between targets.
