• Whom I happen to know better than anyone else • [1 MIN READ] The more socially outward among us know how to focus on other people. And I don’t mean extroverts here. I mean those who can keep attention on other people over themselves. I just returned from 12 days in native Alaska during … More All About Me (#213: 2023’07’12’W)
• The Growlers, off-road • [1 MIN READ] Jenkintown Adam (as opposed to Terrapin Adam, the latter being named after the University of Maryland mascot, the former being named after the place of residence) has been advocating a new and different running route around the Jenkintown Running Company. The backyard route is a variation of … More Happy Trails (#212: 2023’06’28’W)
• More about Zen Yanni • [1½ MIN READ] The Zenster, Zen Yanni (John Van Allen, 1947-2023), was a lifelong competitor. His memorial biography references his running. That one I knew, simply because of his connection to Shawmont Running Club. The one I didn’t know was that he was a triathlete. The competition pix of … More The Acts of Zen (#131)
• 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)
• A Remembrance • [2½ MIN READ] I can only claim to knowing John Van Allen from a relatively limited perspective, given that I came on as a club member in the last 10 years (in 2013) of his 30-some year tenure. Still, based on what I’ve learned myself and heard from others (before and … More Zen Yanni (#130: 5/6/23)
• 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)
• 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)
• 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)
• Reassign culpability. It’s much more entertaining. • [2 MIN READ] I strained my right calf a few months ago. Fortunately, physical therapy that I got last year for Achilles tendinopathy also works for strained calves. They’re all kind of connected: literally. After a few months of doing that exercise, that calf is closer to … More It’s Not My Fault (#199: 2023’03’29’W)
