FEBRUARY NEWSLETTERHappy 2008! So far, winter has been kind to us. A flurry here and there, with temperatures rarely dipping below 20. Perfect running weather. For those of you looking for a good winter race, the Bucks County Road Runners still have 3 races left of their Winter Series up at Tyler State Park in Newtown. There is also one more Shiver By The River 10K/5K in Reading on February 3. Following that, the Pagoda Pacers will have their annual Ugly Mudder 7 mile trail race at Mount Penn in Reading. February 15 is the 8th annual Frostbite 5 miler at Matttison Elementary School in Ambler. And finally, the Bux-Mont Running Club will hold its first 10 mile race in Quakertown. That’s a pretty full schedule for the wintertime. For some, winter has us traveling south and southwest for marathons. This year, the Disney World Marathon and the PF Chang’s Phoenix Marathon were held on the same day. Quite a few brave souls did the Goofy Challenge at Disney, where you run the ½ marathon on Saturday and the full on Sunday. I saw the medal; it seemed worth it. As for me, I ran/walked the marathon. I had been having back and hamstring issues prior to the race, but figured I was signed up so what the heck. Though my hamstring tore within the first mile, I slogged my way through the marathon, stopping all along the way to have my picture taken with the many Disney characters along the route. The highlight was the pirate ship with a Johnny Depp imitator in the Magic Kingdom. It wasn’t pretty, but the medal made everything worth it. Next up are the Gasparilla Marathon in Tampa and the A1A Marathon in Fort Lauderdale. What a great excuse for a vacation.
