Stockpiling the Big Guns. Shows of force.
A couple of Nebraska teams went over and cleaned up on the Iowa version of Market to Market Relay. Team Nebraska, and Women Run Nebraska top overall male and female teams. No sign of Iowa Ablaze’s formidable squads. I’m pretty sure they will show up at Dam to Dam Half Marathon on June 4th, it being Iowa’s Distance Classic, prize $$$, deep competitive fields, etc.
Papillion Half Marathon coming up this weekend but a dearth of local Real Racing until Boystown 5 Mile on Memorial Day. It will serve as our USATF Nebraska 5 Mile Champs so hopeful for some action from both sides of the river.
Rainy days and Mondays, always get me brown. My dear sweet Allison and Katie came out for brunch yesterday. Now young ladies, about the age of a lot of you in fact. Alli pointing out that my sunscreen isn’t matching my time in the garden. My arms the color of good honest labor.
And how about those arms! Linda and I both now fully farm strong. Five gallon buckets of water, 40 pounds in each hand for much of every morning. Exactly 100 steps from the furthest stock tank to the garden. Fill, tote, repeat. Why do we do this? Why not use the well from the barn? Sets of pull ups on the Maple Tree, more from the beams in the barn. Always turning work into exercise.
Beats Life Time Fitness.
