Rare Sunday musing. Just finished an easy 20 to give me 87 for the week. None on concrete, treadmill, track, or trails with 35 miles of it at goal marathon pace. You have to train fast to race fast.
Despite the nasty weather we had a great turnout of 20 for our Trail Run Volunteer Appreciation Party at Oscars last night. Pizza and beer to reward those that helped make the event such a success, we could not do it without You! A primer for you novice race directors, set aside a line item and treat your volunteers like gold because they truly are.
And the real reason for today’s column and title: Congratulations to my dear sweet Allison on winning the 2012 Nebraska State Competition in Commercial Baking! No one does cakes, cookies, or pies better! Along with a Very Handsome scholarship offer she gets to attend the National Championships in Kansas City where she will compete for a full ride to the Culinary Institute of America. Thanks for letting me be one Proud Papa!
