About Time!
After all we went though last week (and I was in southern Ohio where it was only 97) it's nice to feel balmy temperatures like 91-92. Remember in January when you said you wouldn't complain about the heat? Paybacks are hotter than hell.
National Trail Running Day
August 20 is National Trail Running Day. What better way to celebrate than to run the trails at Lake Nockamixin? Even better, we'll be doing it as a combined event with Jill Forsythe and the Lehigh Valley Running Scene. Best of all, we will be retiring apres-run to dine at Becker's (formerly Cappie's) at the corner of Rte. 563 and Old Bethlehem Road. We'll meet at the Nox Trail, which has a 6 mile and a 2 mile loop, at 9:30. To get there, go to the intersection of Rtes. 611 and 412 at the top of Lake Nockamixon. Turn south (right) on 611 and right at the first light which, is Tower Road. Go ~1 mile down Tower Road to the parking area where we will meet. We should get a big crowd and parking is limited so carpool if at all possible. Jill has posted an announcement on Facebook and you can RSVP there or to me by e-mail. As always, you're welcome to come early if you are ambitious and want to do extra.
Speaking of Trails
The week before national trail Week is the Half-Wit Half. Always a good race for carpooling because you never know who will be fit to drive or not. Let me know (bill.tuszynski@gmail.com) if you are going and looking for a ride and I'll try to arrange things. I'll be there as a volunteer but getting there early. Feel free to come with me if you want to get there at least 1.5 hours before the race.
A Good Trail Start
This weekend is the Marsh Creek Raptor Run, one of the best first-time trail races. The course is not too technical, well marked and you can bail at 5M or push on to 10M depending on your feng-shui. I've run it a few times and can recommend it as a good introduction to off-road adventures.
Club Races
Next up the Half-Wit Half. Prove to your spouse/significant other that you are as dim as they tell you by doing on of the more grueling ordeals under the August sun. maybe you can do great and win one of the coveted "back end of a horse" age group awards.

New Member, Wow!, Go Latzas, Some Articles
New Member
Welcome to Carol Albright. Carol tells us, "I run locally in Quakertown. Just started about six months ago. I ran in high school (Pennsbury 1975-79). I just started to work with a trainer and one of my goals was to run again. Hard to believe I enjoy it as much at age 50 as I did many years ago. My first 5k was Cinco de Mayo in Quakertown and really enjoyed it. Thanks!!!"
Congrats Jill
What a great job by Jill Forsythe at the inaugural Quadzilla 15K. The race was well organized and featured unique prizes although the plentiful post race buffet was strangely lacking in unhealthy food. You know the course was challenging when even the first three runners had to walk the biggest hill.
Lucky? Latzas
Good luck to Randy and Mary Latza as they head to Lake placid to be Ironman and Ironwoman. After all the training, the race is the easy part, relatively.
Hard or Soft?
Here's something of an answer as to whether it's better to run asphalt or trails. Two misses in the article. First, trails are defined as packed dirt, not the rocks, roots and holes we all know. the second is the final assertion that you should run on asphalt because that's where most road races are held. Fortunately we live in trail Mecca and can avoid asphalt if so desired. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/19/health/nutrition/19best.html?src=recg
For Women Only
Here are the results of some recent studies suggesting that women's athletic performance and injury risk are not effected by where they are in their menstrual cycle. Good news unless you want an excuse for a bad day. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/20/athletic-performance-and-the-monthly-cycle/

Keep me posted on favorite races and your race results.
Bill
Welcome to Carol Albright. Carol tells us, "I run locally in Quakertown. Just started about six months ago. I ran in high school (Pennsbury 1975-79). I just started to work with a trainer and one of my goals was to run again. Hard to believe I enjoy it as much at age 50 as I did many years ago. My first 5k was Cinco de Mayo in Quakertown and really enjoyed it. Thanks!!!"
Congrats Jill
What a great job by Jill Forsythe at the inaugural Quadzilla 15K. The race was well organized and featured unique prizes although the plentiful post race buffet was strangely lacking in unhealthy food. You know the course was challenging when even the first three runners had to walk the biggest hill.
Lucky? Latzas
Good luck to Randy and Mary Latza as they head to Lake placid to be Ironman and Ironwoman. After all the training, the race is the easy part, relatively.
Hard or Soft?
Here's something of an answer as to whether it's better to run asphalt or trails. Two misses in the article. First, trails are defined as packed dirt, not the rocks, roots and holes we all know. the second is the final assertion that you should run on asphalt because that's where most road races are held. Fortunately we live in trail Mecca and can avoid asphalt if so desired. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/19/health/nutrition/19best.html?src=recg
For Women Only
Here are the results of some recent studies suggesting that women's athletic performance and injury risk are not effected by where they are in their menstrual cycle. Good news unless you want an excuse for a bad day. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/20/athletic-performance-and-the-monthly-cycle/
Club Races
Next up the Half-Wit Half. Prove to your spouse/significant other that you are as dim as they tell you by doing on of the more grueling ordeals under the August sun. maybe you can do great and win one of the coveted "back end of a horse" age group awards.

Last Week, Healthy kids Opportunity, Don't Zumba Your Way to Traction
Grouper
We had a nice group of five runners and one biker last week followed by some yummy omelets at the Dublin Diner. Admittedly, the purpose of the exercise was to provide an excuse for the eating. Time to think about where we want to eat next and build a run around it. Either leave suggestions as comments or e-mail them to me at bill.tuszynski@gmail.com.
Healthy Kids Running Series
We've all seen how successful the "Girls on the Run" program has been in encouraging running among young girls. Here's another take on the idea for the "Healthy Kids Running Series" that is looking to expand in our area. Anyone interested should follow up directly with Ryan. As noted, the role of Community Director, while it does involve a significant commitment, is a paid position.
Attention Bux-Mont Runners! The Healthy Kids Running Series is looking to expand into your town this Fall.
HKRS is a 5 week running program for kids Pre-K through 8th grade where runners compete in races such as the 50 yard dash, mile, mile, and mile runs. The Healthy Kids Running Series is a great way to get kids interested in running at an early age. We are looking for someone to be the Community Director of a Healthy Kids Running Series in your area and need your help. The Community Director is responsible for marketing the Series in the community, managing the onsite operations, and securing volunteers/ local sponsors. We supply all marketing materials, race day equipment, handle registration, secure a location, etc. This IS a paid position and the Community Director will receive 50% of the net profits from their Series location.
For more information please contact Ryan Long at 610-518-4932 or Ryan@PattisonSportsGroup.com and be sure to visit our website www.HealthyKidsRunningSeries.com
Zumba and Injury
Here's a reminder to the zumba enthusiasts in the group that you still have to take care, warm up properly, have the right shoes and not overdo things to avoid injury. It also helps to have instructors with more than 15 minutes of training. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/09/health/09consumer.html?scp=1&sq=zumba&st=cse
Club Races
Missed the Double Trouble? Fear not, another evil trail race lurks in the Quadzilla 15K on Sunday. While not offering the 30K option, rumor has it that race director Jill Forsythe has a challenging course in the offing. You can be sure it will be well organized. Check the race website in the race calendar to make sure the field isn't full before showing up at Saturday packet pick-up. That's your last chance to sign up because there is no race day registration.

Saturday. . . , Breaking Wind, Beat Stress - Not Your Husband
Coming Up
Peace Valley Park (Lake Galena) on July 9 at the Sailor's Point parking lot (Myers Rd. & new Galena Rd. We'll start at 9:00 instead of 1:;00 to beat some of the heat. Once around the lake is 6 miles. Arrive earlier to do more if you want. Or do less if you want. I'll have my bike if anyone wants to ride instead. Off to dine afterwards. RSVP via a comment on this site or e-mail me at bill.tuszynski@gmail.com so we know how many.
Windy City on the Cheap
Looking to run the Chicago Marathon and want to do it on the cheap? Not counting transportation and hotel and food, of course. Here's an offer from the American Liver Foundation about spots available for a fundraising commitment. "Hello! I'd like to inform you and your running group that the Chicago Marathon 2011 still has spots open through the American Liver Foundation. Registration ends on June 30th. For more information, go to www.liverfoundation.org/challenge. Please send this message out to your members through a listserv or a Facebook status update. We'd really appreciate it! "
Exercise & Stress
Here's an article showing results with both mice and people suggesting that one of the benefits of regular exercise is an improved ability to withstand stress. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/06/why-exercise-makes-us-feel-good/ One of the points the article makes is that weight training is especially effective for women, speculating that women who weight trail feel comfortable in their ability ot beat the snot out of whatever gives them stress. There was no corresponding data on a possible increase in stress for husbands whose wives hit the free weights.
Club Races
Double your pleasure, double your pain at the Double Trouble 15K/30K trail runs. Wimp runners should follow my weenie strategy of trying to finish the 15K in 2:00:30 so you can swear you were going to do the 30k but that bum Ron Horn wouldn't let you go out because of the two hour limit for the first loop.

Congratulations to Becky Bodkin who met Bob at mile 49.75 of the Finger Lakes 50M with a beer tied to the end of a stick and led him to the finish line. Now that's inspiration! Not to mention the discipline to leave at least one beer despite waiting 12+ hours.

Bill
Peace Valley Park (Lake Galena) on July 9 at the Sailor's Point parking lot (Myers Rd. & new Galena Rd. We'll start at 9:00 instead of 1:;00 to beat some of the heat. Once around the lake is 6 miles. Arrive earlier to do more if you want. Or do less if you want. I'll have my bike if anyone wants to ride instead. Off to dine afterwards. RSVP via a comment on this site or e-mail me at bill.tuszynski@gmail.com so we know how many.
Windy City on the Cheap
Looking to run the Chicago Marathon and want to do it on the cheap? Not counting transportation and hotel and food, of course. Here's an offer from the American Liver Foundation about spots available for a fundraising commitment. "Hello! I'd like to inform you and your running group that the Chicago Marathon 2011 still has spots open through the American Liver Foundation. Registration ends on June 30th. For more information, go to www.liverfoundation.org/challenge. Please send this message out to your members through a listserv or a Facebook status update. We'd really appreciate it! "
Exercise & Stress
Here's an article showing results with both mice and people suggesting that one of the benefits of regular exercise is an improved ability to withstand stress. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/06/why-exercise-makes-us-feel-good/ One of the points the article makes is that weight training is especially effective for women, speculating that women who weight trail feel comfortable in their ability ot beat the snot out of whatever gives them stress. There was no corresponding data on a possible increase in stress for husbands whose wives hit the free weights.
Club Races
Double your pleasure, double your pain at the Double Trouble 15K/30K trail runs. Wimp runners should follow my weenie strategy of trying to finish the 15K in 2:00:30 so you can swear you were going to do the 30k but that bum Ron Horn wouldn't let you go out because of the two hour limit for the first loop.

Race Results
Congratulations to Becky Bodkin who met Bob at mile 49.75 of the Finger Lakes 50M with a beer tied to the end of a stick and led him to the finish line. Now that's inspiration! Not to mention the discipline to leave at least one beer despite waiting 12+ hours.
