• More about my running and writing • [2 MIN READ] Last week’s Cerebrun was about the running writing I’ve been doing for this feature of the GGR weekly message (#203). Back in December (#185), I shared about being able to read them collectively at Running @ iCandybyWangC. Face it; if you want to reread … More Needed to Come Out (#204: 2023’05’03’W)
• The running group isn’t that academic, either • [1 MIN READ] Academic types have a way of thinking about things they know or want to understand in the space of other existing knowledge. Why else would they spend so much energy reading and investigating the work of other academics? If someone else has written … More Not Quite Academic Writing (#203: 2023’04’26’W)
• A Positive Determination • [2 MIN READ] I wrapped up the last Rumination (#127) with a cliffhanger: Would I jump off the cliff with the other lemming by running the Coastal Delaware Running Festival Marathon (04’16’U)? With 8 degrees of appeal tantalizing me, what do you suppose? Yep, I did it. It turns out … More Coastal Delaware Running Festival II (#128: 4/15/23 RUN REPORT [Intended])
• Imagine what real training could do • [1½ MIN READ] Last week (#201), I was seriously pondering an unplanned marathon for 16’U (Coastal Delaware Running Festival, Rehoboth Beach). This week I’m still pondering it: as a done deal. I drove down with the SRC running buddy who planted the seed for the race and … More A Little Conditioning Wasn’t Such a Dangerous Thing (#202: 2023’04’19’W)
• Beyond mere socializing • [1½ MIN READ] I’ve been experimenting with running and socializing pretty much since I started running in 2011. What I learned is that it’s a gateway drug, because now I do it even when I’m not running. That makes me an even stranger stranger. How many people go around saying hi to … More Communitizing (#107: 9/3/22 RUN REPORT)
• An exercise in calculating degrees of appeal • [2½ MIN READ] Loving running in community as I do, I see certain races stand out, particularly the half and full marathons; because they’re magnets for Shawmonters. Naturally, Philadelphia’s belong on the list, simply because they’re right in our collective backyard. Unfortunately, they’re kind of big. … More Coastal Delaware Running Festival (#127: 4/8/23 RUN REPORT)
• Conclusion: Sometimes it’s about others’ running • [1½ MIN READ] Last Rumination (#125) ended with me considering ways to find a particular article to share with all of you. I made it out to be much more of a problem than necessary, because the solution came much more quickly than I expected. During lunch, … More When Training Gets Redeemed in a Different Context (#126: 4/1/23 RUN REPORT)
• A possible upcoming marathon in point • [1½ MIN READ] Broad Street (04’30’U) has been the motivation for getting various Growlers to push harder the last few weeks (Training). If there’s no race on a runner’s calendar, it is definitely hard to put out training effort. That was my problem until 03’31’F, a mere … More A Little Conditioning Can Be a Dangerous Thing (#201: 2023’04’12’W)
• Cerebruns and the Growlers Group Run • [2 MIN READ] This Cerebrun marks #200 which began as thoughts then “Thoughts” 4½ years ago (2018’09’26’W). (If you want to see the numerical progression as the weeks go by, check out each posting on Cerebruns by CtCloser.) ATTENDANCE: Since the first, the attendance has changed just … More What’s Changed and What’s Stayed the Same (#200: 2023’04’05’W)
• It’s not all about running, just mostly • [2 MIN READ] As effective an information specialist as I think I am, I do find myself falling short sometimes. F’rinstance, a bunch of years ago, I remember reading an article that was published (I was confident) in the New York Times (that being my favorite … More When Training Fails in a Different Context (#125: 3/25/23 RUN REPORT)
