Our NRGE men’s team is simmering just below the boil. Steam starting to build, getting ready to blow the roof of this sucka. But that’s just the guys.
Our NRGE women are busy too. Both Lindsey Brezenski and Scottie Shaw are with child, we’ll look for their return this fall. Linda Kunasek is healed up from last year’s devastating foot break, currently nursing some popliteal issues, the Lincoln Half Marathon still on her schedule. Stacy Mangers is coming around slowly and sensibly. She is accompanying me on long runs, I’m teaching her the value of running slowly when needed. How much does she want the masters crown at the Lincoln Half? Roxi Erickson is always out there, just on the periphery, word from her coach is that she’s training up to make a statement in the Lincoln Full. Tammy Consbruck kicked off her training for Lincoln this week too. She is quite the contradiction. As sweet and nice and humble as they come, that gun goes off and you better look out!
Speaking of humility, I came up with a nickname for Kaci Lickteig last night “The Waifenator“. Kind of like a deconstructed Arnold Schwrazenneger.
I’m proud to announce the addition of NRGE’s newest sponsor today. Stodden Physical Therapy has joined our list of community sponsors. Mike and his staff do great work out of both his Elkhorn and Gretna offices. And one of the few facilities to boast an Alter-G treadmill.
I’m very excited about the support NRGE is getting. If you’ll check our sponsor page you will see that we have three of the very best physical therapists in the Omaha Metro. This new approach of support by multiple providers within the same discipline shows how well our mission of excellence is being received.
Andy Consbruck and Dynamic Physical Therapy in Gretna are committed to helping athletes of all kits and sports achieve their personal goals.
And Jennifer Beran of Premier Physical Therapy has three locations in the Omaha Metro. Home of the 5-foot deep SwimEx Therapy Pool and one of the few dry needling practicioners around.
This is how we do it. This time.
And now for something completely different. This picture shows my Grandma Katie (my dear sweet Katherine’s name sake) and my Uncle Carl in 1979. She’s been gone nearly 30 years, Carl just over a year. She was a pistol, raising 7 kids on her own during the Great Depression. Uncle Carl as handsome as the rest of the Lindgren clan. I miss them both.
