A pretty unspectacular weekend for Team USA at the World Championships in Moscow. For complete coverage please visit www.iaaf.org I’m guessing that Usain Bolt gets a WR in the 200 meters this coming Saturday.
Some fast times at the Nebraska Association 5K Road champs in Lincoln. Congratulations to Neil Wolford (15:27) and Frankie Peterson (18:37) of the Lincoln Running Co. Racing Team on their wins. It was the perfect morning and the perfect course as many lifetime personal bests were set, fine running by one and all. Nod to Colin Morrissey of Team Nebraska for taking it out hard and making a race of it. He would finish second by a second.
Team Nebraska has added UNL grad Ashley Miller to the roster. She will re-write some of the club records before long. Giddyup Ashley!
Nebraska Run Guru Elite is now well on its way. You will be seeing us soon. Where my mantra for Team Nebraska was “In It To Win It”, NRGE will be guided by “Clean and Mean”.
I set up a USATF Nebraska Association LDR News facebook page last year. I’ll start giving more complete coverage of our championships there, it is an Open Group so please do join and follow what our best athletes and clubs are up to. Nebraska Association President John Wissler is administering the LDR program since Matty P. moved to New York. Elections for LDR Chair will be at next month’s annual Association Meeting. We’ll hopefully have some strong candidates with bright vision and boundless energy.
My boy Luka Thor hit a high water mark running 115 miles last week. Pretty amazing for a cat that works the night shift, takes classes, and administers his youth ministry.
Nice of Jimmie “Lucky” Doherty to stop by during yesterday’s afternoon run. His folks live just a piece up the road, made for a nice round trip. He’s looking as fit as I’ve seen him.
Please check on the banner up top for upcoming information on the 2013 Vala’s Monster Dash. One of the favorite local races of the fall, sure to be a Spooktacular time for one and all.
My six miles yesterday morning were just a little easier and I’m a little less sore today. I’m also down to 141 pounds making it a 16 lb. loss since May. No more “fat” prs I guess.
Congratulations to John Tully on his 16+ miler this weekend. He’s hot on my heels.
We’ve been at the Bar None for six weeks today. I cooked dinner for a group of 14 yesterday, farm vegetables and my World Famous Flat Iron Steak. Someone asked “Where’s your microwave?”. We don’t have, need, or want one for what we do with the Good Mother’s freshest bounty.
I did extend a courtesy however by turning on the air conditioner for the day.
I also installed my ultra high efficiency clothes dryer this weekend. The new Maytag in the basement can’t touch it.
The Simple Life is The Good Life. Fresh air. No street lights. Peace and Quite.
