• Connecting with SRC II • (ShawmontRunningClub.com, above [1½ MIN READ]) The best way to get to know Shawmont Running Club is by running with its members from the Zen Yanni Memorial Bench at the top of Forbidden Drive (ShawmontRunningClub.com, Google Maps). Another way is to browse the pages of the club website. This here … More One Illustrious Publication (#216: ZY Weekly Newsletter 3/21/26)
• Growlers style • [1 MIN READ] Shoshana arrived to JRC last week just as we Growlers headed out to run the Sunset 5K route (RunORC.com, iCandybyWangC.com). Oh, brother. Her arrival just after we took The Attendance Picture put our minds to J’Adam, who has practically made a career out of avoiding it (iCandybyWangC.com and … More Family Matters (#347: 2026’03’25’W)
• On the trail and online • [1½ MIN READ] Shawmont Running Club has been a thing on Forbidden Drive since the late 80’s … yes, of the twentieth century (Google Maps). SRC’s Facebook group page went live in 2012 and it was hopping back then (Facebook). All kinds of coordinating, reporting, and socializing took … More Connecting with SRC (#215: ZY Weekly Newsletter 3/14/26)
• ‘Cuz sometimes it’s worth doing • [2 MIN READ] Part 1 of last week’s run began with the appearance of K2 and newbie Derm. The former has been away since 10’29’W because the latter’s work schedule has been interfering with quality time together on other nights of the week. They might have figured out … More More on Not Very Much (#346: 2026’03’18’W)
• What, exactly, does that mean? • [2½ MIN READ] I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of my declaration to people that I sprained the middle toe of my right toe — without moving (iCandybyWangC.com and elsewhere in this post unless otherwise indicated). Since so many people know that I’m a long-distance runner, they … More Be Careful (#214: ZY Weekly Newsletter 3/7/26)
• Literally • [1 MIN READ] Last week, the theme for the picture was the store’s seating. The lot of us guys (only) plunked ourselves down, took the Attendance Photo, and put our Jenkintown-5K-route theme into action: forward (iCandybyWangC.com and elsewhere unless otherwise stated). Someone’s never much felt the need to be pictured.(Cw from left: … More Benched (#345: 2026’03’11’W)
• A little on SRC’s trail and online presence • [2 MIN READ] It seems to me that Shawmont Running Club is in an interesting space, what with people coming and going; many with very brief tenures (ShawmontRunningClub.com). (Or maybe that’s just me and the club’s always been that way. Anyhoo.) I’ve been a part … More Status Report (#213: ZY Weekly Newsletter 2/28/26)
• Isn’t every pose one or another? • [1½ MIN READ] Last week’s photo was a repeat from previous months and years, and, personally, I don’t love it; but someone suggested it and people liked the idea, so I got overruled. Democracy in action. The problem with it is that it washes some people’s faces … More Photographic Trope (#344: 2026’03’04’W)
• My non-traditional inaugural ministry letter • It’s traditional to send a donor recruitment letter at the start of new ministry work like mine with the Coalition for Christian Outreach @ Arcadia University (CCOJubilee.org, Arcadia.edu). I’m not a particularly traditional kind of guy. (So explore the endless details at your leisure by clicking on all … More The Traditional Route
• When you want to cut to the chase • The Chase Become an organizational partner and donor through Calvin Wang @ CCO (CCOJubilee.org).
