training runs from the president
May ears and Runnin g 30 Y 2012 www.PAGODAPACERS.com WE ARE A CLUB DEVOTED TO PHYSICAL FITNESS, ATHLETIC COMPETITION, HEALTH, AND FELLOWSHIP. FROM THE PRESIDENT - Polly Corvaia, President Thanks a million for showing up in force at several pacer events last month. First the trail maintenance days at Nolde Forest where 30 of us worked to clean the park of winter debris, then the Mt. Penn Mudfest as well as the weekly training runs and the general meeting. Thanks a million for showing up in force at several pacer events last month. First the trail maintenance days at Nolde Forest where 30 of us worked to clean the park of winter debris, then the Mt. Penn Mudfest as well as the weekly training runs and the general meeting. Mudfest morning was sunny and brisk and everyone anxiously and happily awaited the firing of the stuffed pig to start the race. The new course was definitely tougher trail than in the past, but then again, trail runners are tough people. Everyone enjoyed themselves, or at least has a good story to tell. We hosted 750 runners on the mountain and it took much effort by many volunteers, headed by Ron Horn who does a great job in every aspect of organizing that race. There were dozens of other pacers who prepped the course, set up Rotary Park and cleaned the site afterwards. The mountain was cleaner after the race, than it was before. Remember to come out and run or help with the Charlie Horse Half Marathon Trail Race on Sunday, May 27th. A beautiful course and through this race, our club is able to donate thousands of dollars to the Special Olympics, and that money stays here in Berks County. I hope you can help this great cause. Contact RD Brett Lynch and let him know that you can be there. Weekly trail maintenance has begun at French Creek every Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. The meeting location is directly across the road from the park office on Park Road. If you have any questions, call Charlie Crowell, 610-856-7372. June 6th the pacers will have a booth at Blue Marsh Lake’s “Get Outdoors Day”. Beth Auman is heading up this new event for the club. Thanks in advance, for helping any way that you can. Volunteer apparel is going quick but more is on order. If you are helping at any of these events, contact me for apparel and I will make sure you get it. The Wine and Cheese party in the Pagoda is not yet scheduled, but we’ll let you know when we get a date. Also this summer we plan to schedule a day of kayaking on Blue Marsh Lake and an evening at the Lehigh Valley Velodrome. The BIG date to remember is August 26th. The Lehigh Valley Running Club has challenged us a friendly XC style competition at Bear Creek Resort. Winners get bragging rights, free beer and a traveling trophy. What could be better than that!

The race directors wanted to give a huge thank you to all the people that volunteered. There were about 670 runners at this years Mt. Penn Mudfest. Ron did a great job of coming up the new 15K course. Although this new course was crowded, there are ideas to improve the race so it is not as crowded next year.

Ted Andrus reported on Run for the Ages. The race will be held on Sunday, June 24. Due to parts of route 625 being closed, directional signs will need to be made and posted prior to the race. As of today, there are 25 entries. Nolde has approved the course which will include Middle Road. Grings Mill Run will be held on Sunday August 5.

After having this race for three years, Tom is considering expanding the race. Tom would like to add a race which would be open to non-BCIAA schools. The Pagoda Pacer Lehigh Valley Road Runners race will be held on Sunday August 26 at Bear Creek. Vice President’s Report: Members have signed up to host runs and then a gathering at their house starting with the last Wednesday in May through the first half of October. The charity runs are going well, with the last one supporting the Opportunity House. Next month’s charity run will benefit the Animal Rescue League. Social Events: Members at the meeting expressed an interest in kayaking and a night at the Lehigh Valley Velodrome. The annual wine and cheese event is tentatively postponed. Shaun and Dave’s excellent adventure will be held on May 5. The Barn Yard Challenge will be held in June at Mike Yoder’s house. Old Business: March 17 was a clean up day at Nolde Forest. April 21 is the next clean up day at Nolde Forest. There is a clean up day scheduled at Blue Marsh Lake on April 21 at 9am. Blue Marsh Lake’s get outdoors day will be on Saturday June 9. New Business: As many of you may have read in The Reading Eagle, the Berks running community has lost another friend, Bob Focht. Bob collapsed during the Fools' Run on Saturday, March 30. Bob participated in many local runs at many different distances. He was a positive spirit who always challenged himself to do more and achieve personal bests. Those that ran with him will miss his everpresent smile. Bob passed doing what he loved. He will be greatly missed. As a lifelong runner and more recently an assistant high school cross country coach, I frequently ramble to whomever will listen about the qualities of the running community. I'm a true believer that running brings out the best in people on multiple levels. Perhaps it's because it's our human nature that we come together best during any kind of adversity, and the struggle and discomfort of our sport, though self inflicted, is no different. In September of last year, our youngest child, Michael, 25, was diagnosed with AML, a rapidly progressing form of Leukemia. Literally within days Michael went from preparing to run the Blues Cruise 50k to being admitted into the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and receiving the first of many blood transfusions and chemo treatments. Our lives changed direction overnight and would stay that course for the next five months. In January, he had a bone marrow transplant and is doing much better now and will continue to recover over the next year. He has insisted that we reduce our traveling and return to our normal lives which we are doing. However, we constantly look back on the whole experience and reflect on the many things that we have to be thankful for. Between family, friends, neighbors, and the Pacers, Gwyn and I had been blessed with an outpouring of love, support, and generosity ranging from household chores, transportation, gift cards, emails, phone calls, to a simple hug at a moment when we needed it most. I don't mind admitting that this has brought us both to tears on more than one occasion. We thought that the best way to express our sincere and most heartfelt thanks to all of you is to do so here, publicly, because the list of names is simply too long to mention. Runners are good people. To us, you are a blessing we didn't know we had until we needed it. CHARLIE HORSE HALF MARATHON Sunday, May 27, 2012 9:00 am Volunteers Needed The Charlie Horse Half Marathon will be held on Sunday May 27, Memorial Day Weekend. Please email Brett Lynch at [email protected] if you are interested in volunteering. The race will be starting one hour earlier this year at 9 am. With the bus ride at the start we will need people at Sleepy Hollow at 7 am to open registration. April 28, we will holding a trail cleanup on April 28. The portion is yet to be determined. The most likely place will be prepping Charlie's property for the race. Any help is appreciated for both the cleanup and race. by: Debbie Kenderdine The recipients of this year’s Cross Country Scholarships are Jordan Holder who attends Muhlenberg High School and Emma Doughman who attends Conrad Weiser. We received four very good candidate applications. Listed below is a small bio on each winner. WE ARE LOOKING FOR SPONSORS FOR THE 18th Annual Oley Valley Country Classic Emma who attends Conrad Weiser ranks in the top 20% of her class and has participated in cross country, winter and spring track from 9th - 12th grades.

Emma wrote in her essay about the health obstacles she had to overcome to continue the sport she loves – running - and how she accomplished that. Emma will be attending Marywood University in the fall. The Pagoda Pacers are looking for sponsors to support the 18th Annual Oley Valley Country Classic. This 10 mile and 5K run, taking place this year on November 4 2012 has been a favorite race of many in the area and we want this race to continue. If you know of a company or organization interested in supporting this event please contact: Jordon who attends Muhlenberg has a 3.9 grade point average. His cross country running has earned him a twotime county medalist, All Division, All Berks and Track & Field county medalist. Jordan is also involved in Academic Challenge and Model UN Club and outside school Boy Scouts, and active in his church. Jordan wrote in his essay about the mental aspect of running and how both the physical and mental part of running earned him All Berks honors in running. He now can apply this discipline into his schoolwork and every day events. Jordan will be attending Penn State University Main Campus in the fall. This race is always well attended and has one of the most beautiful scenic courses in the area. Lets continue to support another great Berks County run!

But most of all, thanks to all of you who were willing to do whatever was needed to make this series another success! The awards ceremony was again held at the Temple Fire Company, on Madison Ave in Muhlenberg. Thanks to Deb Schlegel for sitting at the door and enforcing our policy of charging a nominal fee for the party; to Pres. Polly for helping with the set-up of the trophies and overseeing the activities of the award’s ceremony and to Ron Horn for starting each race and announcing the awards. If anyone has any comments, concerns, or questions concerning the series, please feel to contact one of the race directors. We do value your input and we do read the surveys; making modifications when possible. For instance, we added the cones and the one lane on the bridge after several of our volunteers told us how congested and dangerous the one intersection had become.
