Next Group Run
How do people feel about having a next group run on the Perkiomen Trail, meeting at the Crusher Road parking lot? The Saturday of Memorial Day weekend (5/28). We should go at 9:00 instead of 10:00 because the trail gets crowded. There's a nice 8 mile out and back as well as both longer and shorter options. I'll have my bicycle if anyone prefers to ride the trails or neighboring roads. Let me know either by commenting or by e-mail (bill.tuszynski@gmail.com).
Does Your Workplace Have a Shower
I've always been lucky to have a shower wherever I've worked, even when I've had a home office. Over the years, I've been able to run, bike or play basketball at noontime and not have to go out at dawn or after dusk. Here's an article about the benefits of adding a shower and bike racks to your workplace. http://www.grist.org/biking/2011-05-09-how-employers-can-encourage-happy-healthy-bike-commuters If you are an employer, think about adding shower stalls and two-wheeled parking. If a worker-bee, hint to your boss about how much more productive you would be if you ran or biked to work and how much more your co-workers would appreciate you if you showered. Ex-home office, my shortest commute has been 40 miles one way so no bike commuting for me.
If No Shower. . .
No shower at work? Tap your foot, walk around, play with your pencil or generally fidget. Here's a study that shows how otherwise sedentary people improved their fitness by incidental activity. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/11/fidgeting-your-way-to-fitness/ You're still better off getting ral exercise than by drinking 5-6 Red Bulls during the work day to increase your nervous energy.
Club Races
What could be more fun than running on the trails in the dark? The post-race party at the Dark & Dirty. You should have a night trail race on your bucket list. Go with inadequate illumination, and it could be your bucket list!
