Since the formation of the Half Fanatics in 2009, a runner who is a member of both clubs is called a Double Agent.

Well, the Main Maniacs have decided to create an asylum dedicated to those who are Double Agents. In order to be assigned a Double Agent number you must have your dues paid and updated in both the MM and HF. Your name and e-mail address must match both clubs. Each day a program will run to generate new members.

New gear is available for Double Agents as well as a whole new set of challenges as you climb peaks.

For more information visit the Maniacs web site.

With the new website comes a new way to identify race discounts. All discounts are now located on the race calendar page. Look for the gold coin following the race name, that signifies a discount. Click the coin and after a brief disclaimer reminding us that discounts are for members only, the code will be revealed along with the amount saved.

The programmers are working on lots of website items and one is a non-race related discount link. Until that’s complete, you’ll need to email Jeff Bollman ([email protected]) for the running skirts and running warehouse discounts.

Now, eleven years later, older, wiser, creakier, some of us with scores more marathons done, some withhundreds of more done, we are used to this frequent-marathoning idea, and the membership has climbed fromknowing everyone to over 12,000 members, and so we are “less different” perhaps than we once were?

And the marathons themselves: are they getting to be old-hat? We’ve got the routine down, we more or lessknow what’s coming, the specialness…drifting away?

Doesn’t have to. Not at all.

Every marathon, if we look at afresh, has new experiences in it, something new to teach us, new memories tohold, new friends to make, and maybe, just maybe, somethings new to create.

Same thing with Christmas and the holidays, yet again. Oh, we’ve gotten rather used to the lights, theshoppers’ anxieties, the weight-bearing stollens, the traffic. And all those lights and tinsel, pretty as they mightappear, rather come to obscure the elements that make Christmas timeless, profound, life-changing.

Like?

Christmas came out of a peculiar and unique miracle, reported by originally ordinary people. Themselvesshocked, they spread the word that this Jesus had came back from the dead, after a nasty end-week ofpersecution and execution. They talked excitedly about a series of unexpected, unanticipated, experiences,experiences which opened eyes like ours, eyes that had followed him daily, though they did not at first grasp thesubtleties or triumph in store. At first confused, then amazed and convinced, all the pieces came together, withinweeks, and the prior years’ of stories now held together anew. Their perspectival-shift was about transcendenttruth: God had visited us. God had started in the form of a baby, in a middle-eastern backwater town, laid in theanimals’ trough, out back in a barn., and he had grown to be the Resurrected One.

Ingloriously begun, humble love, empowered by the Creator of the Universe began endless appreciation inthose who saw it, and grew gratefulness in those who would see it yet.

Grasped today in the quiet, it makes the old carols meaningfully new again.

Glory indeed be to the newborn King, Prez. And may we get out, and go, and run,and effect peace on earth wherever our travels take us.

Hiya Prez,

When we were about at 100 Maniacs in the club, we thought we werereally quite different, remember? Oh, we had started as ordinary people,until we ran and ran and ran and ran.
