Get in the spirit this holiday season! Tie jingle bells to your shoes and run or walk in the Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis with the LBC / LRRC team!
This year, we are uniting our efforts with the Lancaster Bicycle Club to collectively pull our resources and make a difference. You can race, run, walk, bring a pooch, push a stroller or just send money! It's all good! Invite friends, family, neighbors -- the more, the merrier!!
The Jingle Bell Run/Walk is a competitive or super-silly 5K (flat) run or 1 mile walk that benefits the Arthritis Foundation®. I've been attending the event for several years and have seen the Grinch, a full-size Xmas Tree, fat Santa's, gingerbread people and, of course, throngs of bell-embellished elves jingle the course. It is quite the festive spectacle! For serious or fun times this day. It's all about hanging out and helping the Arthritis Foundation. Face it, we ALL have or know someone with a creak or ache associated with the big A affliction. Active folks (like us) are more susceptible to developing some form of the disease in our lifetime!
Details: Sunday afternoon, December 13 at Granite Run (Secret Sneaker). The cost is $20.00 to participate with the OPTION of soliciting additional pledges. We are all ready over $1000. Donations are tax deductible! Register online (link below) and you'll receive a long-sleeve t plus a goodie bag filled with good stuff! At the event, there will also be prizes (We're going for BEST TEAM!), food and giveaways. After there will be provide delicious, homemade Chrismahannakwanfest cookies and real hot cocoa for all LBC/LRRC participants.
There is also talk about Part II at Barney's! Hot Toddies anyone!?
lynn and i want to personally thank everyone who participated in this weekend's chrismahannakwanfest held saturday!
we had beautiful weather and record breaking attendance, with 41 runners and workers assembled for our worthy cause. “overall male winner” was mark buckwalter, and his wife connie was “overall female winner” – the first time a husband and wife won both honors. the prestigious “grocery getter award” went to todd poole. winners are determined by both running speed and trivia finding ability.
of course, the real winners are the folks who depend on the lancaster county food bank as we raised 170 items of food on saturday. this brings our 3 year total to 433 individual items of food! you should all be proud of your contribution to making someone’s holiday a little brighter. congratulations on a job well done and thank you so very much for your support.
Saturday, I headed up to Lepnun for the Give Thanks For Lebanon 5K/10K. I ran the 10K, which had to be somewhat short. For proof, I offer my time of 44:20. I'd put the course right around 6 miles. Most of the race was on the beautiful rail trail that now extends right into the city of Lebanon.
Also in attendance were Kathi and John Markley. John picked up an award in the 5K.
Thursday, it's our annual Fowl Run at Long's Park, 9 AM.

Sorry for the short notice.
The First Saturday outings for December and January will need to be switched.
That means going to Fair HIll MD Saturday December 5th and Wissahickon Park on
January 2nd.
Please pass this along to others.
In years past we scheduled the Fair Hill date to co-incide with the PHunt 50K
put on by the Delaware Trails Dawgs. The "fat ass" style run had been drawing
well over a hundred runners and parking had been tight. This year they are

The
Lakeland Derby is a "Kentucky Derby style event" where the horses are replaced with "man powered swan boats" and pedaled across Lake Mirror. The swan boat race will feature ten swan paddle boats powered by two jockeys. The jockeys pedal the swan boats similar to that of a bicycle.

SIGVARIS created the Athletic Recovery sock for competitive athletes and weekend warriors as compression garments have become highly visible in all major sports. Whether it's during the actual event, after the event, or even while traveling, athletes are making graduated compression socks part of their everyday attire. Click here to read the full press release.
SIGVARIS created www.athleticrecoverysock.com to provide consumers with information on the new Athletic Recovery sock, as well as a forum for athletes to discuss their compression therapy experiences and results. The website also includes related medical studies that support the science behind the use of compression therapy for athletic performance and recovery.

Nice run on 80% moderately hilly ( bit more than White Clay) not too rocky mostly single track. Bout 130 ran, including Dawgs Hunt, Mark Mckinney and Loren Thomas.
Both Mark & Loren close to place in 50-59 age. I did not, but still felt good in mid pack and feeling moderately recovered from MMTR 50 last weekend. Nice too have DAWG cheering squad of Eva and Craig at finish. Winning time was a speedy 31+ min, despite terrain some slippy mucky stuff( actually not too bad) . However, no stream crossing.
Saw Tom Howe from Lancaster there. He ran well finishing in top 30. He also seems to be showin up at almost every Trail race in SE Pa lately. Check out his trail race calendar site: http://www.easterntrailracing.com/contactus.html
Only lament was that it was too warm to wear my arm hoisery...... -H
As we said yesterday, there is STILL time to get muddy and mucky before the dirt freezes as hard as concrete. Below is another opportunity to slop around in an athletic event and have a ton of fun doing it. If you haven't run a Ridley Creek State Park event, you are missing a BEAUTIFUL experience. If you haven't run a Trimax event, you are missing an AWFULLY FUN experience.This event just happens to be BOTH those types of experiences! Here's more on the event from the race director:
Media Mud Stain 5 mile Trail Run
Sunday, November 15th @ 10am
Ridley Creek State Park - Media, PA
Get a little muddy with Trimax this Fall. We all know that completing a 5 mile trail run in the month of November, entitles
you to endless, guilt-free stuffing and pie on Thanksgiving. So, what are you waiting for?
Register Online Now for the Media Mud Stain at ( http://www.active.com/page/Event_Details.htm?event_id=1789265&assetId=0d4a7078-b67f-4400-8c5c-e9430dcdf277 ).

Claim your share of the more than 50 great awards and drawing prizes , including 2 Pairs of Trail Running Shoes, Pint Glasses , a Wicking T, Energy Gels, Gift Certificates, Magazine Subscriptions, and more. Who knows, if mother nature cooperates, you may even leave with a "mud stain" or two. For more info, visit ( http://www.trimaxendurancesports.com/MediaMudRun.html ).
Course Description: The trails at Ridley Creek are as scenic as they are challenging. Don't get caught enjoying the view. The twisty single track and heart-thumping climbs might catch you off guard. Throughout the course runners will pick their way through rooty, rocky technical sections, slosh through mud, traverse planks crossing a
dried creek bed, pound some pavement on short road sections, and cruise across areas of flat single track. This up and down roller coaster ride of a loop will burn your quads and test your lungs as you wind your way through one of the best trail systems in PA.

Yea I'm fine now. I was throwing up for the previous hour before I stopped and
the EMT's took over. So I wasn't processing fluids or food and getting
increasingly dehydrated. In the ambulance I had a pulse rate of 120 but a BP of
only 60/40 and the first EMT couldn't find any BP at all and he thought I was
having heart problems. I wasn't (as the EKG in the ambulance and another one in
the ER showed) but I did get 3 bags of IV fluids at the hospital. So I had to
stay in the ER until my heart rate came down, which took almost 3 hours. I'm
fine, it just wasn't my day. Thanks for your concern.
