Boondoggle!
After our performance at LHF, there’s a lot of buzz at the national level about whether or not Nebraska Run Guru Elite, INC will be on the line. I heard from the Big Cheese in SoCal, Irene Herman, asking where our entries are. Also heard from my old buddy and President of Team USA Minnesota, Pat Goodwin. She congratulating me/us on landing Grant Wintheiser, he had been identified by them as a worthy mate, just missing his services due to his enrollment in medical school in Omaha.
We’ll get Jay and Al and Grant and Drew and Kevin fired up for 2016. They will all have to Race and Earn their spot though.
