Welcome to Jackie Dziadosz. Jackie tells us, "I'm 28 and did running/jumping in HS Track and one year of XC in HS and College. Completed a 1/2 marathon and a marathon. Just casual running now,
doing a 5k here and there. Hoping to join you guys now and then. I need motivation for winter running!!!"
Irene Redux
Hard to believe that we had races go off on Saturday and Sunday although there were a number of reschedules. some irony in that the south Mountain 10</5K was moved up from the traditional 2nd Sunday in November and is now back on that date. Most amazing was that the Evansburg Classic Trail 10M, although the water crossings were taken out. I hope everyone has power back to read this in a timely fashion. It's difficult to explain to your significant other that it's OK to go out for 8-10 miles even if you can't shower when you get back.
Dedicated, Dim or Degenerate?
Despite the conditions, we had an "interesting" group run on Saturday. It was me, Keith Little and Michael Womelsdorf. While Keith and I wimped out at 3, Michael did 8+ and earned his adult beverage at the Spinnerstown Hotel even more than we did. Hopefully we'll have better weather for our next group event.
November Marathons
We had a fine October of marathons with Chicago, Marine Corps and Steamtown and the introductory Delaware and Lehigh run among others. November features NY, Richmond, Harrisburg ans=d of course Philly. Pass along any races you're running so I don't miss you in our results.
Doing it Bare
Here's an article by Chris McDougal about his journey to barefoot running and some of the techniques to get there. More importantly, he shares techniques to develop the proper forefoot-strike technique. The point is that the shoes make running the way we evolved easier but without the technique, they do not provide a significant benefit. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/06/magazine/running-christopher-mcdougall.html?pagewanted=1&ref=general&src=me

Website
Visit the club website, www.buxmontrunning.com and check out the "Athlete Profile" page featuring short self-written bios of club members. That I'm on there proves you don't have to be a good athlete to be on the page! Send yours to either me or Tom Daugherty. Tom actually does the work in his function as webmeister.
Race Results
the heroes and heroines this week were all those who got out and competed. One suspects that getting to and from the races was the hardest part, especially on Saturday. The Marine Corps marathon does not publish the finishers list and you have to search individual runners. So let me know if you ran and I missed you. Congratulations to Heidi Pernia who captured first woman in the "Hat Trick" Series of the 5 & Dime, Dash & Splash and Octorun. Well done.
