Next Group Run
We'll be at the Crusher Road parking lot for the Perkiomen Trial on 5/28 at 9:00AM. plenty of running options but we need a local diner if anyone has a recommendation. I'll have my bicycle and a 14 mile route prepared if anyone prefers to ride neighboring roads. The Perk Trail also accommodates riders if you want to stay off-road. Let me know either by commenting or by e-mail (bill.tuszynski@gmail.com).
Now You Can Run In Space
Those of us who measure our workouts in PYE (Pints of Yeungling Equivalents) have been leery of venturing into outer space because of the lack of suitable refreshment. Well, thanks to some Aussie brewers, that hurdle has been overcome. 4 Pines Stout is brewed to be stronger in flavo(u)r to compensate for a loss of taste sensation in space and lower in carbonation to avoid internal unpleasantries due to the lack of gravity. Watch intrepid volunteers sacrifice themselves for the greater good by trying the brew under microgravity conditions. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1388228/Australian-brewers-aim-tackle-final-frontier-space-age-beer-Vostok-4-Pines-Stout.html

He will include the science behind the system as well as the benefits it provides. There will be plenty of demo units on hand, so come out and check it out! www.recoverypump.com If you know anyone else that may be interested, feel free to pass the information on!

Pain or Fatigue
We've all been late in a race wondering when our legs turned in to concrete pylons. Is it pain or fatigue? Both are signals where our bodies have evolved to tell our brains to stop before it's too late. As runners, we've learned to avoid using our brains at all costs and slog through. While it's OK to some extent to ignore fatigue, you ignore pain at your peril. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/17/health/nutrition/17best.html?ref=science
National Trail Day
June 4 is National trail Day. That's also the date of the Wissahickon Trail Classic 10K off Forbidden Drive in Fairmont Park. It's an accessible and not too challenging race and a good introduction to trail running if you're ready to jump in.
