as if they were standing still." - Red Fisher, Wasatch '86

The Nipmuck 50K -
Sorry to say that the 50K race is cancelled this year (no scheduled "fun run", either).
Putting on these events is a lot of work - be thankful to your race directors and their
clubs, volunteer to help when you can!

Wapack trail race date
is confirmed, September 2, 2012, as is Pisgah,
September 16, 2012.
- You know that a marathon is 42.195km, but that is not exactly 26 miles 385 yards.
Here's a better approximation:
Let a = days/year. A marathon is π + eπ - 1/a miles - e/2 feet, within 0.1".
(Let a = 365.24219 days/mean tropical year instead of the 365.25 day Julian calendar value, and the
approximation is correct to 0.003".)

Wednesday night fun runs...
The fun runs start from the parking area next to
Hoosac Valley High School on Route 116 in Adams near the Cheshire line.
We meet at 5:30 pm and everyone is welcome to join us.

Are you between 45 and 65 years old? Want to contribute to running research?
The Biomechanics Lab at the University of Massachusetts is looking for
runners between the ages of 45 and 65 to participate in a research
study. The study consists of one visit in our laboratory, taking
approximately 2 hours. During this two hour session you will
repeatedly run a short distance through our lab with many breaks
between. We will measure how you run in 4 different pairs of shoes
and 1 barefoot condition. As a benefit for you we will answer any
questions you have about your running technique. If you are
interested in more information or participating in the study please
contact Julia at jfreedman@kin.umass.edu or 413-545-1717.
