I fired off a heavily edited email to Indianapolis, Seattle, & NYC yesterday describing my consternation regarding the new uniform compliance rules. Turns out I’m not the only one a little peeved about the way the rules were communicated (not at all). A chorus of support for my position has resulted in USATF releasing the following statement:
“In order to provide sufficient lead-time for all clubs to ensure their logos are in compliance with this policy, USATF will observe a “grace period” for club logos. The 2011 edition the USATF National Club Cross Country Championships therefore will not impose size restrictions on club logos….”
Whew!
Out of the woodwork. Linda & I were hitting our quarters out at El Parque Estado Dos Rios this morning, great place for speedwork by the way. I was telling her about Stacy Shaw’s set of 800s (2:40, 2:41, 2:40) yesterday. Linda is very excited about how Stacy will fare in her 45-49 age group in Seattle. I said that you just never know who will come out of the woodwork at these National Championship events. Linda’s reply was this year its Stacy & Kelly Crawford (2:28, 2:30, 2:28 for his halves yesterday).
I wasn’t extremely hip on doing the workout this morning, wasn’t feeling quite 100%. Imagine how shocked I was when the first one was :81! And the next two were 82s! Six in total, all well under what I would have thought possible earlier in the a.m. Another great indicator that the fitness is coming around, what a joy to be Alive and Running! I return to the remainder of my day’s tasks energized and optimistic.
Another great turnout at the Upstream last night. What a great group of hard working, fun loving, beer drinking, supportive friends we have.
I’ve joined a facebook group called “Omaha Burger Club”. Titillated them with tales of the Will Burger that is available (off menu item) at the Upstream. I’ve got 6 people now that are willing to attempt to duplicate the amazing feat of downing this behemoth as a fundraiser for a local food bank. If you too would like to earn a spot in Omaha Culinary History shoot me an email ([email protected]) and we’ll get you included. I’ll be releasing final details in the next few days.
