Congratulations to Aaron Bozarth and his new bride Jeni (Steiner). Two of the happiest, cuddly, hammer throwers you’d ever want to meet!

Around and about: Heard from our mate Emily Kraus this morning. She is just finishing up a rotation out at Stanford and is looking forward to getting back to Omaha. She’s also in for Club Cross in December and will run the Boston Marathon next April. Chris Tegtmeier will be at the Mayo Clinic next week for tests. One of the top race walkers in the country when he’s healthy, let’s keep our fingers crossed they can find out what has been sapping his energy.

Hope you are all planning on running this weekend’s Swamp Stomp. We’ll have race day registration and the weather looks to be perfect.

We’ll be back on the track for tomorrow evening’s Omaha Endurance Group. Going to develop a little baseline information for everyone as we approach our Winter Training Cycle. 6:00 pm at Millard West or Beadle Middle School if a game is going on at West. Like this:
1-1.5 mile warm up and down.
1 X 1.5 miles @ current 5K race pace

Next week we will host our 4th Annual Running Haiku, Ugliest Feet, and Blind Mile competitions. Plenty of great prizes, verses and nasty toes to go around!
