A Word on Numbers for 2024 (#180: ZY Weekly Newsletter 2/8/25)

SRC Attendance and Mileage Stats

[1½ MIN READ]

Count’em: 88 runners last year ran with the club! 47 of them ran Shawmont Avenue! Check it all out for yourself.

Attendance Prizes: 1st place with 44 Saturdays to Teddio! 2nd place with 34 to AlsoKnownAs*! 3rd place with 32 to Quietman Tom! Close runner-ups! 

Mileage Prizes: 1st place with 468 miles to AlsoKnownAs*! 2nd place with 445 to Teddio! 3rd place with 433 to Quietman Tom! Many other phenomenal efforts to other familiar names. 

Shawmont Avenue Prizes: 1st place with 30 to AlsoKnownAs*! 2nd place with 28 to Quietman Tom! 3rd place with 21 to John NTT (No Trail Tag. FKA: JR)! 

The top runners deserve recognition. They’ve been running with the club for years and are still going at it. Running and involvement are in their blood. 

Kudi [sic] belong also to the many other club runners, both those who plied Forbidden Drive for 13-milers and 2-milers as well as for those who dared Shawmont Avenue repeatedly and once. Taking in the beauty of the Wissahickon Valley and the camaraderie of the club members is clearly a worthwhile endeavor. It’s a privilege to be a part of it all.

While SRC isn’t a complicated operation, it does take a certain amount of attention and energy. I’m happy to do my share by web editing and crafting a thoughtful (and laughable[?!]) word or two. Double kudi belong to Ying1 who processed the numbers behind today’s words. Triple kudi (even more?) go to Teddio, who edits the Zen Yanni Newsletter every week and manages the attendance collection every week for all those numbers. Without his effort, today, I’d be speechless. (Not really, but you get my point.)
