| Hello Delco RRC |
|
"At first an ordeal and then an accomplishment, the daily run becomes a staple, like bread, or wine, a fine marriage, or air. It is also a free pass to friendship."
- Benjamin Cheever, Strides
With this quote in mind - Very true, especially the part about friendship. I've made many friends through the club. Join us on one of our many Fun Runs, let us fill your needs. |

| Training for 1/2 or longer??? |
Posted by Mike Gormely. If you are, keep an eye on the website message board. Some of us that are doing longer runs are meeting on Saturday or Sunday mornings. Our 10ish mile runs are usually local. For our longer runs, we usually car pool to Valley Forge, Kelly Drive, Conshy, etc..
Most of the runs are followed by breakfast somewhere. This past weekend we tried 'Frankie Fellini's Cafe and bakery' on Township Line road ( across from St. Dorothy's Church) . The breakfast was great. I believe it was the first time I actually ate the home fries. They must have been cooked in olive oil. They also serve lunch, and dinner and are BYOB. This is a small place with limited seating.
Steve Whitmore posted this message this past Monday. Jack LaBar and myself have started to run longer on Saturdays. We start at the Media run @ 8:00 a.m. @ 3rd & Jackson streets and run part of the course, then run to Ridley Creek State Park, run the loop and then back to Media. This is approx. 16 miles. We have it down so we can start at both the Media run @ 8:00 and the Ridley Creek run @ 9:00. The course is a little hilly and we keep the pace at about 8:30 to 8:45 per mile. If anybody would like to run with us you would be more than welcome. We are planning to do this every Saturday, weather permitting. Steve can be reached at marathonsteven@aol.com.
