| Hello Delco RRC |
Have something interesting to add to the email? Forward it to me at info@delcorrc.com. Thanks to those that always give me support. "What I learned from the miles of uphill my coach put before me was the simplest bit of math: The faster you run it, the sooner you're over it.."
Sara Corbett, RW Runner at Large With this quote in mind: My philosophy for all hills exactly. Come join us at one of our many Fun Runs. Most of our courses have hills that you'll be glad to get done as quickly as possible. We'll hlep you up, misery loves company. |
Swarthmore Fun Run - Wednesday |
44 runners and walkers were out last night at the Swarthmore Fun Run. Over 30 people came out to Swarthmore Pizza afterwards for good food and laughs. Last night we celebrated Dot Kracht's birthday and Denise Talbot's upcoming wedding. Thanks to all of those that coordinated this (Shirley and others) and to the cake baker (Janet). Come on out and join in the fun. All abilities are welcome . |

We Run | |
We run because we have to.
We run to go fast, and we run to go far.
We run to break the tape; we run just to finish.
We run for fun when no one's around.
We run to get inverted V muscles above our kneecaps.
We run to get the regular V above our hips.
We run to clear our mind.
We run because we're mad.
We run because we're ecstatic.
We run because now we know what it feels to nod at another runner. We understand them, and they, us.
We run to lose weight.
We run to keep it off.
We run to eat cupcakes.
We run to eat crabcakes.
We run to be lions.
We run two marathons in eight days.
We run for cancer.
We run when others won't.
We run and sometimes we hate it.
But we run and we always love it.
We run up hills and we run through puddles.
We run because it's poetic.
We run because it's bad ass.
We run while people sleep and we run because it helps us sleep.
We run because runners have better sex.
We run because once we have that medal, you can't take it away.
We run because some of you don't think we can.
We run.
And we run together

Good Luck to all of our Racers | |
Lots of races coming up and I know several people are running the Pocono Marathon this weekend. Several others are heading to Kennett Square for the 10K, 5K and the Pump and Run. Don't forget about the Elwyn 5K, the most challenging 5K around. Good luck to all of those and all of our other racers. |

| Happy Birthday!!! |
 Upcoming Delco RRC birthdays this week: Dot Kracht (Thu 5/12), Tom Geveke (Tue 5/17). Stay young by joining us on one of our many Fun Runs and make new friends. |
| Book Club |
The next Book Club meeting will be June 4th at 4pm at Kathy Adamson's home.
The next book is The Art of Racing In the Rain by Garth Stein.
"In Mongolia, when a dog dies, he is buried high in the hills so people cannot walk on his grave. The dog's master whispers into the dog's ear his wishes that the dog will return as a man in his next life. Then his tail is cut off and put beneath his head, and a piece of meat or fat is placed in his mouth to sustain his soul on its journey; before he is reincarnated, the dog's soul is freed to travel the land, to run across the high desert plains for as long as it would like."
I learned that from a program on the National Geographic channel, so I believe it is true. Not all dogs return as men, they say; only those who are ready.
I am ready."
Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening very closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver. Through Denny, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and he sees that life, like racing, isn't simply about going fast. Using the techniques needed on the race track, one can successfully navigate all of life's ordeals.
On the eve of his death, Enzo takes stock of his life, recalling all that he and his family have been through: the sacrifices Denny has made to succeed professionally; the unexpected loss of Eve, Denny's wife; the three-year battle over their daughter, Zoë, whose maternal grandparents pulled every string to gain custody. In the end, despite what he sees as his own limitations, Enzo comes through heroically to preserve the Swift family, holding in his heart the dream that Denny will become a racing champion with Zoë at his side.
A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a beautifully crafted and captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life...as only a dog could tell it.
