| Hello Delco RRC |
"I believe in the theory, that if a man is subjected to a certain degree of stress over a period of time, his body gradually adapts itself to tolerate the strains. I think that each year you must become stronger and stronger. You either get better in this game or you get worse. You must move on to harder and faster training every year, to a certain degree. I have found over the past few years, apart from a few days and some minor pains, I haven't really been forced out of action at all. The longest period of time I've gone without training has been three days in the last four years."
-Buddy Edelen
Who is Buddy Edelen? Check out this Sports Illustrated article from 1964. Quite an interesting read and an interesting man.
What happended to Buddy? Here is his obit from the NY Times.
With this quote in mind: ... Come join us at one of our many Fun Runs, show us that you believe in yourself. |

35 runners and walkers were out last night for the Swarthmore Fun Run despite the heat. Remember, many of us run in all types of weather. 25 people came out to Swarthmore Pizza (some sat outside) afterward for good food, laughs, chit chat. Come on out and join in the fun. All abilities are welcome. |

| Graduation Party Invite - June 26th |
From Dawn Patterson
Dawn is hosting and everyone is invited to a triple graduation party....Shawn's graduating from Springfield High School and Steve and Jen are graduating from ETR. This is also the day of her annual Block Party. Last year was such a blast that the trampoline didn't survive the day. Moonbounces, waterslides and other games will be there for your entertainment.
I hope everyone can make it.
