Or, Incognito. Richie Incognito to be exact. What a tough guy! And smart too! Able to rally other weak minded fools into bullying Jonathan Martin. Setting up situations where Martin felt ostracized, criticized, insulted, and demeaned. Ha Ha! What a laugh!!
This story strikes a real chord with me. Having dealt with my own bullies over a lifetime. I thought high school was difficult. But I found none more villainous than right here in Omaha as an adult. That makes bullying particularly heinous. When grown adults amuse themselves by instigating situations to harm. Either physically or emotionally. And to do it anonymously on social media, “I helped wit dat!“, it takes a brave and proud person to hide behind false screen names, Rundown indeed. I stood toe to toe (mouth to mouth) against my antagonists, and I accept full responsibility for where I sit today. A proud, unbeaten, principled man. And the bullies? They’ll roast in their own special hell. Last Laugh!
Now to the running news. Good Mate Kyle Clouston finished a fine fourth overall at yesterday’s Beer & Bagel. One of the toughest courses of the fall, the chips fell just where I thought they would. No one beating Ivan Marsh. Ivan bested Jason Zakaras and Tom Woods of the Lincoln Running Co. Racing Team, those two cats have raced lights out this year. I texted Ivan after the race “Get the win today?”. His short reply “What do you think? :)” Followed by “I had quite the battle with Jason Zakaras most of the way. ‘Real Racing’ baby.” Good man Ivan. Good Man. NRGE’s Medical Director Dr. Bill Weeks also danced with Bigfoot, taking 5th in a very competitive 55-59 age group.
NRGE is also happy to announce the addition of Tammy Consbruck to the team. Tammy epitomized hard work, dedication, and desire during our Wednesday Night Track Work this year. She saw great improvements dropping her post collegiate 5K pr by nearly 2 minutes. She’s got the right stuff and I’m excited about her potential.
Linda & I watched the live broadcast of the NYC Marathon yesterday. We celebrated Excellence with winners Geoffrey Mutai and Priscah Jeptoo.
Meanwhile back at the Bar None….
Life is beautiful.
