• Homies • [1 MIN READ] The hometown running club is doing the hometown race. That would be the Growlers Group Run running Jenkintown Sunset 5K. The claim to the HRC designation is historical. JRC pioneered the running store niche in Jenkintown in the 80’s (as Fleet Feet, before someone bigger and richer claimed the … More GGR @ JNK S5K (#209: 2023’06’07’W)
• Pushing the limits of the store that hosts us • [1 MIN READ] The Growlers come in every Wednesday evening, fill in every corner of Jenkintown Running Company, harass the customers, drink beer, and burp. How anti-social can a running group get? Very. Last week we horned in on the business side of the … More Too Close (#208: 2023’05’31’W)
• Returning to a 2022 photographic theme • [1 MIN READ] You can check out the ‘pose’ subject heading for some examples, but we haven’t featured any in the attendance shot for a while. And then my mind went to Army Drew, whose presence of late made me think of his fave: psychotic eyeballs. I … More Posers (#207: 2023’05’24’W)
• With us Growlers • [1 MIN READ] Broad Street Run is the largest 10-mile race in the country. And it has to be the most popular long-distance race in Philly. It is definitely popular with the Growlers, past and present. My social media apps were buzzing furiously on 04’30’U (Sunday) with notifications from those … More Trained for Broad Street Run (#206: 2023’05’17’W)
• 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)
• 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)
• Sometimes, the harder you try… • [1 MIN READ] There’s one person who’s virtually made a running career with the club by not being around for the picture but showing up eventually to run anyway. If we stall our departure from the store, we can occasionally catch him. Sometimes we’re right and sometimes we’re … More He Who Shall Not Be Pictured (#198: 2023’03’22’W)
• A particular thing from a particular individual • [1½ MIN READ] The prompt for this Rumination was a run with the Blue Belle contingent of SRC. The bunch of us took off from a park in North Wales and it wasn’t long before Lisa Marie apologized for being kind of loud. Not to say … More To Hell with This (#123: 3/11/23 RUN REPORT)
• Prophets We Are Not. Thankfully. • [1¾ MIN READ] A few weeks ago, Jim joked about my effort to fix the photographic attendance record (2023’02’21’T). You can go read that Cerebrun for more details; but basically, I had x-ed Jim out from one photo because I had added him to earlier one in error. … More Things Did Not Go South, Permanently (#197: 2023’03’15’W)
• Been a long while since the last bunch, but they do keep coming • [1 MIN READ] Another linguistic offering inspired over earlier days and years.
