We had 32 people show up for track work at Millard West last night. Bienvenidos todos! Our Wednesday night group grows with each week and I am humbled—-NOT!
Millard West Track Practice is The Place to be on Wednesday evenings.
A nice little “rivalry” developing between Denny Gray (L) and John Tully (R). Pushing each other to their fastest ever quarter miles in 1:35, the Jody Vortex surely had just a little to do with their incredible speed.
Not to be outdone, Angie Ross and Kathy Palmer accepted John’s strutting for less than the time it took the old fellas to circuit the oval. They hauled to their own 1/4 prs in 1:33, Double Giddyup!
Jody Green, Kristin Ramm and Carole Swanson (left ot right) practiced their tethered running, they will be racing the Mud Run in Lincoln, bound and determined. Carole is a STUD masters runner, I am proud to announce she will be representing TNB moving forward.
My old buddy Joseph Kariuki set the WR for 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) at the 1998 5th Third River Bank Run, running a blazing 1:13:55 (4:45/mile). Joseph and I became good friends the next year after he ran my Brazosport Run For The Arts in Texas. We share a love of country (Real Country) music, I once gifted him the CD “Trio”, a fine piece that features Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmy Lou Harris. Joseph was the world’s most sought after pacer for major marathons during the late 90s and early double naughts. He made a vast fortune rabbiting for NYC, Chicago, London, Berlin, etc. Some of his $$ went to build the only bowling alley in his hometown of Nyeri, Kenya, maybe the only bowling alley in all of Central Kenya.
Joseph, front and center used his talents to help others achieve great heights.
So what does Joseph have to do with your Run Guru? I’ve decided to take a page out of his book and will be assuming pacing duties at the Ted E. Bear Hollow 5K scheduled for August 27th. We’ll have lots of Good Mates racing that morning on the USATF Certified 5K & 10K courses, come on out and get a race in for a good cause. http://www.tedebearhollow.org/
