The first annual Bar None Beer Mile, Bonfire, and Chili-fest is all set for tonight. This will be our final Wednesday Night Track Work for 2013. I’m already looking forward to next year!
I’ve cooked up a big pot of my World Famous Chili. Gathered wood for the bonfire. Set the course. Alerted the neighbors. Think I’ll fire off old Besty to start the run, what fun! Everyone Welcome, Bar None.
And big news on the Vala’s Monster Dash 5K. We have been named the 2013 USATF Nebraska Association 5K XC Championships. It’s a tough course with a couple of big hills, we’ll be passing out pacifiers as necessary.
The Monster Dash will also be hosting our packet pick up and late registration at Peak Performance on 168th St. from 3:00 til close on Thursday the 24th. Already over 100 boils and ghouls registered, a Spooktacular time for the entire family! As always big thanks to Peak Performance for their continued support of the Monster Dash!
In 2005 I had the pleasure of being on the finish line at the Hospital Hill Half Marathon. It served as our Women’s USA Half Marathon National Championships. A very hot day. The young lady that won the race immediately collapsed into my arms due to heat prostration. I’m happy to report that she recovered. She also took a course that surprised me. She had just been awarded a Fulbright Scholarship and was on her way to Norway to study. I was sad that we would miss her talent and drive for the next few years but Annie Bersegal is one smart gal. And talented. She returned to competition in a big way this last Sunday winning the USA Women’s Marathon National Championships at Twin Cities in 2:30:52. Welcome back Annie! If you see her ask how I provided her with Good Luck, not that she needs it.
Being a Minor Celebrity, or at least a Public Figure leaves you open to all kinds. I used to try and defend myself against the anonymous heroes trying to save the world from me. Now I just laugh. Giddyup!
Vala’s Monster Dash 5K, Little Goblins Runs, Costume Contest, 3-Legged Races and a Nebraska Association Championship. It is cross country and who’s afraid of a couple of little hills? BOO! Fall Family Fun & Fitness.
