Hello Delco RRC
 
"When they're out there running, for that little slice of time, they're not free, but they have a little bit of mental release."  (Could be said for moms and dads.)
                     - Laura Bowman, who is in charge of a running club for prisoners

With this quote in mind - Free yourself at least for a short while.  You could use the break.  Join us on one of our many Fun Runs, we'll help you break out.
Daylight Savings Time - March 14th
 

I'm already tired of running in the dark and miss my Wednesday night trail runs.  What to do?  Well, there are only 51 days until DLS.  Let that buoy your spirits through the next six weeks.  I can handle the dark until then.

Other countdowns to important events:
 
First Day of Spring, March 20th - 57 days
Tyler Trail Run, March 27th - 64 days
Delco RRC Spring Fling, April 10th - 78 days.  More info will be coming out on that soon.
First Day of Summer, June 21st - 156 days
Haiti Relief and Development
 

On January 12, a series of earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 6.5 to 7.3 devastated Haiti. The American Red Cross is working with its partners in the global Red Cross and Red Crescent network, including the Haitian Red Cross, and other partners to assist those affected by this disaster.

Your gift to the American Red Cross will support emergency relief and recovery efforts to help those people affected by the earthquake in Haiti. Assistance provided by the American Red Cross may include deploying personnel, sending relief supplies, and providing financial resources.

Cara's Party
 
Cara held a party this past Saturday, themed July in January or something like that.  Karaokie and summer drinks were on hand.  You can view pictures from her party by clicking HERE. Or a video on YouTube by clicking HERE.  The video should be played at high volume.  The military is actually thinking of using it to try and drive Bin Laden out of his hideout in Pakistan and to disperse riots.  Be a part of the Club and come out to all of the events, you don't want to miss these.
 
If you have or take pictures of Club events or of yourself doing something related to running, send them in to me.  We have a web site where we will post and you can view photos of these and other events.  I can also give you the information you need so you can upload the pictures yourself.  Drop me an email at [email protected] or call me at 610-291-9707.  To view the photos already uploaded, click on this LINK.
Super Bowl Party - Feb 7th
 
Dawn will be hosting a Super Bowl party between the ???? and the ???? on February 7.  Kick-off is around 6:20.  Doors open at 5.  Dawn's address is 626 Sherman Rd. Springfield. Please let her know what you would like to bring.  Email her by clicking HERE.  Yes, the Eagles won't be there but take solace knowing that neither will the Giants or Cowboys.
Recipe - Good Eats
 

Mango, Pomegranate Guacamole

4 ripe avocados (2 pounds total)
1 cup finely chopped white onion
2 fresh serrano chiles, finely chopped (2 tablespoons), including seeds
1/4 cup fresh lime juice, or to taste
3/4 cup pomegranate seeds (from 1 pomegranate)
3/4 cup diced peeled mango
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Halve, pit, and peel avocados. Coarsely mash in a bowl. Stir in onion, chiles, 1/4 cup lime juice, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, then fold in pomegranate seeds, mango, and cilantro. Season with salt and additional lime juice.

Cooks' note:

Pineapple could be substituted for the mango. Guacamole can be made 4 hours ahead and chilled, its surface covered with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Bring to room temperature and stir before serving.
