We had a very good turnout for last night’s “Flash 18”. The group which shall remain anonymous gathered at a little used service entrance to the Omaha Country Club at 1:20 a.m. and we sprinted like hell through eighteen holes. I opted for bare feet but racing flats were the uniform of the day. No spikes allowed out of respect.
Our little group of ne’er-do-wells have a full slate of Flash Runs coming up over the next couple of months. All tied into events or attractions, you never know when or where we will show up! If you’d like to get your name on the list, I’m not too hard to get a hold of.
Going to give some huge kudos to our Wednesday Night Track Group. At Saturday’s Run For Justin, every single runner set a personal best for 5K.
Lindsey Brezenski made her 5K debut in a very nice 19:32 for 3rd Overall Female. Lindsey has been a pet project over the last few months as I prep her for the BIX 7 later this month. She will be running the Des Moines Marathon this fall and that has me excited! I am also proud and happy to announce Lindsey as a member of the freshman class of Nebraska Run Guru Elite. She has the Right Stuff.
I have also invited Wednesday Nighter Amanda Marshall to join our merry band of Giant Slayers. She too has improved tremendously and shown a voracious appetite for Hard Work.
A couple more committed athletes that will be revealed once sponsorship details are ironed out. They too are looking forward to kicking butt.
Here is to Lindsey, Kristen Ramm, Amanda Marshall, and Jeff Jensen. All set personal bests and all won age group hardware. Kristen, Amanda, & Jeff all finished within :06 of each other. Training partners and competitors. This is how we do it!
