Good afternoon, Incline Club!
Whew, It’s Cold, but at Least There’s More Daylight!
Despite the freezing temps, is anyone else loving having a few more minutes of daylight at this point? I’m enjoying seeing Mr. Sun just a bit earlier on my AM runs and am looking forward to more of that (and some warmer temps) in the next few weeks!

Band Looking for Singer
Tom Kelecy writes: Colorado Springs 60’s/classic/alternative/Indie rock cover band has drummer, bassist, and 2 guitarists (ages from 35 to 50, most of us runners) looking for a lead singer. We have our own PA and other gear. Our band has been playing together for approximately 5 years in various incarnations, and has played a few gigs over that period. Everyone in the band has full time careers and families. All that is required is some singing talent, a passion for music (passion for running is a plus!), and a commitment to be able to make at least one practice per week and an occasional gig. Our previous singer had to drop out due to family and other commitments. We currently have around 40 songs on our set list, but can accommodate others depending somewhat on the singer. We hope to find a singer who wants to have fun, is quick on the pick-up and doesn’t mind playing gigs every now and then. Email if interested, and we’ll send you a list of the songs we play and maybe schedule a “try-ou
t.” (e-mail removed to prevent spam)

Matt and Jim’s PPA and PPM Guide
Sarah Murphy Case writes: Matt and Jim’s PPA and PPM training guide is an excellent source of reading and training material. After putting some of their ideas into use already, it should be a great trip up the Peak in August! My copy sits on my desk and gets lots of attention...sometimes more than grad school! I highly recommend this reading even if not running either one of these races!

“R” REPORTS:
***********************************************
Trail Dawgs Phunt run — Fair Hill, Maryland — January 6, 2007
Chandra Lloyd reports:
Distance: 20k
Goal: Finish
Results: 2h 33min
Website: http://www.udel.edu/johnmack/traildawgs/phunt_07.htm
General Summary:
This was officially a 50k “fun run,” with 42k and 20k options for us mortals. It had been raining for two days beforehand, so although we were blessed with 70 degree weather there were some killer mud puddles to splash through- we were coated up to our thighs by the finish. It took place in Fair Hill park in eastern Maryland, usually mostly equestrian and mountain bikes. The race was very laid back, based on the honor system, so we just signed in at the start and
then wrote in our time when we finished.
Things Done Right:
Dressed lightly- it was WARM!- and started with absolutely no high expectations for time. The mud slowed us down a lot.
Things Done Wrong:
Wore new socks- should have worn old ones so I could just throw them away afterwards!

P.F. Chang’s Rock’n’Roll Arizona Marathon — Phoenix, AZ — January 14, 2007
Trish McCormick reports:
Distance: 26.2 miles
Goal: 5 hours
Results: 5.22
Website: http://www.azcentral.com/sports/azetc/07rnraz/07rnraz_index.html
General Summary:
It was a bit colder than I wanted for my first marathon. Course was flat and elevation there is about 1100 feet, these two items ensured that breathing would not be the problem.
Things Done Right:
Tried FIRST’s 16 week training plan. For long runs (20-23 miles)ran 2 loops at Greenland and IC’s Sunday runs.
Things Done Wrong:
Although, I ran all the long runs suggested by the training plan, I should have done more long runs.
Any Other Stuff:
Learned that arnica really works for pain and swelling.
