Now to the Real Business of our Monday morning. They did in Indy what I had hoped for in Valley. Some sharp minds in the Hoosier state decided they would, get this, put together a half marathon as an opportunity for American athletes to get their USA Olympic Trials Half Marathon Standard. Flat, fast, with a highly competitive field. Eight men under the 1:05 necessary, all under age 30, three of them under age 25. Two women under the required 1:15. Giddyup!
Big tips of the sombrero to the Nebraska Wesleyan Men’s team on their GPAC XC Champs. Jordan Wheeler of Wesleyan took the win over my pre race favorite Danny Aldaba.
And at the NCAA DII it was my men’s Lopers taking 3rd overall team! On the women’s side Loper Morgan Benesch took 8th overall. Great job to Brady and the gang!
Every fun runner under the Good Life sun tackled the venerable Beer & Bagel this past weekend. An after party like few others. Women outnumbered men by a whopping 700!
I managed to walk 15 miles last week. Seven days, 2 miles each for 5, 2.5 for the other two. A fella’s got to start with a single step.
