Our new web site has been online for about 8 months now. most of the content from the old site is available and updated to the new format. The biggest outstanding category on the "to-do" list is to bring the pictures in from older races and to update some of the running route maps. Here are some of the new features: - A cleaner look with pulldown menus and a search tool to help navigate the site. If you have any suggestions on how to make the site easier to use, let us know!
- The new calendar is hosted on Google's calendar site. You'll notice it's actually several calendars now, and you need display only those you're interested in... if you want to see when the next local race is, just click on "Local Races" in the table. There are also now options to add the calendars to your personal calendars like Outlook, iCal, or Google calendars.
- The race results section now has a filter so you can select just the race you want to see.
- There are now several web site authors. These authors are in charge of keeping you up to date on the doings of some of our Club's running groups and activities, such as the Thursday Track Crew, Group Runs, Beginner's Group, and the Race Series.
- Joining the Nittany Valley Running Club or renewing your membership can now be done online.
Please let us know what you think. Email either Dave DeGroote or Marty Mazur with any problems you find. We've tried to make the new site easier to navigate. Let us know if this is so. If you can't find something from the old site on the new one, use the search bar above. Much of the new site is cataloged and searchable. More of it will become searchable soon. Finally, if you need it, the old site is still available here, but please let us know if there was something broken on the new site that made it so that you needed the old site. In time, the old site will become out of date. |

Katie Visco is attempting to be the youngest woman to run across the USA. She started in Boston in late March and hopes to reach San Diego before Christmas. On May 16, Katie passed through State College with an escort from the Nittany Valley Runnig Club. I took some pictures, which are in this album on Facebook. 
You can read more about Katie and her trip at her web site: http://www.paveyourlane.com/. There's a post in her blog there with her impressions of State College and the NVRC. And Tara Murray summarizes the recent spate of blog posts on Katie's run here. |

Independence Day Salute |
|

Written by Bwana

Despite some discussions about the coming Arts Fest and Firecracker 4K races, it was back to the un-summery weather today as Jim Myers, Bob Jones, Lance Bland, Judd Michael, George Lesieutre, Ken Davis, Mike Casper, Greg Luna, Marty Klanchar, Meira Minard, Tara Murray, Rob Shaver, Nick Downs, newcomer Sydney Moser, Frank Zaffino, John Sheakoski, Rich Harter, Tim Aydin, Jeremy Zerbe, Dave Miller, Steve Shisler, Lee Culver, Dana Todd, Ron Cunfer, Michael Goldfine, Dave DeGroote, and Marty Mazur headed to the track. Drab, cool, and humid, with the threat of late day showers.
John Domico had already done his workout and even though we don't know what he did, the track was still drying off. Tara telepathically auto-suggested today's workout to Bwana: a downward ladder: 1K-800-600-400-200, the object being to do each sun at a faster pace than the previous. Bwana mentioned to newcomer Sydney that she shouldn't try to keep up with the lead pack. He says that to all the newbies. But did she listen? I think the lead pack wishes she had! This former high school 800 runner had no problem!
In honor of our country's coming 233 birthday, Bwana salutes the red, white, and blue flag and nation for which it stands. He also sends a different kind of salute to the runners who have been shirking their track duty, cowering behind the white flag, or hiding under white sheets, unable to get out of bed by noon. Get with it! mOUnTaiNBACK is coming faster than you think!
