A couple of good runs this past week left me with my highest mileage in perhaps a couple years. I’m thankful for whatever I can get. Can I possibly still mete out enough suffering to meet my minimum daily requirement? Yes, so I’ve got that going for me.
Grant Wintheiser jumped in for a little test run at Beer & Bagel off road race. Four miles in 22:49 for the win by over a minute. Good to see our mate on the mend. Nolan Border (25:03-LRC Racing) and Matt Seiler (25:50-Team Nebraska) rounding out the mattered places for the fellas. Insert Nebraska USATF Athlete of the Year hashtags here. Catherine Coletta (30:37), Christy Nielsen (30:58) were the first two women, Christine Houser and Amanda Lingg both credited with 31:18 for 3rd & 4th.
Camille Herron of War Acres, OK set the WR for 100 miles (12:42:41) this weekend at the TunnelHill 100. First overall period, besting the semi professional field. Insert friendship hashtags here.
Bo Pelini was a reviled winner. 66-27 over 7 years. But not a good fit. Insert spittle hashtags here.
Mike Reilly is a loveable loser. Such a nice guy. Insert sweet fella hashtags here. Insert worst season in 60 years hashtags here. Insert be careful what you wish for hashtags here.
“I will not run, nor will I accept my parties nomination.” Decided against my run for ORC President. Received counsel from long time members of my community. Became apparent that only a very small number cares about elite level running in Omaha. Insert that’s why they don’t cross the Platte hashtags here.
Only the California International Marathon left for serious 2017 marathoners. This year will serve as the USATF National Championships. When I served as WLDR National Championships Chair that event, along with St. George’s Marathon were ineligible courses due to net elevation drop. You could not run an Olympic Trials qualifier on either. Insert strange times indeed hashtag here.
