A Special Race
I don't normally promote races but there is a new addition to the calendar on December 30. It's the Benjamin Wheeler Memorial Fund 5K in Newtown. Ben was one of the children tragically slain at the Sandy Hook Elementary School . His mother is a native of Newtown PA. More on the details of the event are at http://www.phillyburbs.com/mobile_adv/sports#/sports/race-honors-a-favorite-son-of-two-newtowns/article_b4baca9e-aa3e-543c-b380-a5bde4f7208b.html?mode=jqm
Are Runners Smarter?
Here's an article positing that having to organize endurance hunts was one of the factors that drove the evolution of larger brain size in our ancestors. In support of their hypothesis, the authors bred rats for endurance running. They also developed signs of increased brain capacity. Unfortunately, this only shows up in future generations as we don't have Lamarkian evolution where you can acquire a bigger brain by running more. Sorry. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/26/exercise-and-the-ever-smarter-human-brain/?hpw
Who Are You?
Are you one of the those runners who hit their mileage goal sometime in November and are taking the rest of the year off.? Or did you realize on December 15 that you need to get in 450 miles over the last two weeks of the year to hit the number you promised yourself last January? Or is your goal to have fun and you haven't a clue to the nearest hundred miles as to how much you've run this year? No matter which category you fit, the important thing is that you're out there doing it. The only ones who should feel guilty are those home on the couch.

Happy Happy, GOOOAAAAALLL!, Summer or Winter?
Happy Holidays
A belated Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Kick-Butt Kwanzaa and Fantastic Festus to all. May your 2013 be full off new distances conquered, PR's smashed and injuries avoided.
Setting Goals And Tracking Progress
With the start of the new year nigh upon us many of us are planning our race and training schedules. In fact, most planning to run 2013 marathons have to have had their entries in some months ago to avoid being shut out when the race sells out in a matter of days or hours. I've traditionally been very loose with running goals and keeping track of progress other than in some vague measure off "Am I in shape and having fun?" Others on the other hand, are much more quantitative about their goals and tracking how they are doing. Maybe that's why I was never at the front of the pack but it insured that running was never like work and that I ran because I had to wanted to and never because I had to. That's a trade I would take in a heartbeat but others might feel differently. Share your thoughts on this subject.
Race Season
As judging by the race calendar, the vast majority of runners go from April through October for the bulk of their races, November marathons. excepted, I've always felt that the more interesting races run from the end of October through the end of March. I rarely have done any road racing in the summer and limited myself to the occasional trail jaunt in the warmer months. It's a more interesting experience and you seem to meet more interesting or at least loonier runners in winter than summer. Again, chime in with your thoughts on the subject. It's timely as both the Pagoda Pacers' Shiver by the River Series and the BCRR Winter Series kicked off this past weekend and the Act Sports Management "Abominable Slowman" series is new for January/February/march. Yes the race series takes its inspiration from Quakertown's Joe Brockway. I hope Joe has a comp entry for the series.
