Last minute title change for today’s column. Started out as “AND STILL THEY COME” but after my run this morning it morphed into “ITS A HUGE CHIP”.
This competitive notion, this club, Nebraska Run Guru Elite, Inc. Its not for everyone. In fact its for very few. Most likely not suitable to the genteel conversations of the upper crust. The well heeled and entitled looking down long pedigreed noses at this group of blue collars. Or even more telling, simply ignoring them.
I told Ryan Baurmeister that until informed otherwise we have absolutely nothing to offer him other than coaching, a kit, and competitive opportunities. Went on to explain that it was more about what he can contribute to the club. He is cool with that. And then changed my column title with the following statement- “I like the whole chip on the shoulder thing”, Ryan, ITS A HUGE CHIP.
Nebraska Run Guru Elite, Inc. is proud to announce the addition of Ryan Bauermeister. Ryan attended high school in Spencer Iowa (1600- 4:22, 3200- 9:38) and graduated from Northwestern (Orange City, IA) this year with a degree in exercise science. Ryan’s collegiate bests were 1:56 800, 15:39 5K/ 8:46 3K indoors and 32:35 10K/ 15:30 5K outdoors. Ryan lives in Omaha and works at Peak Performance.
And he’s got a chip on his shoulder. ITS A HUGE CHIP.
