Back to School Time

The end of summer is near and vacation time is over. Time to get back to work. That is why we are on for this Wed 8/12 at 5:16 for an easy 1:04 run. I say easy it will be easy. Higgins has volunteered to lead and will not even break into to a jog. I will have a leash on him just in case.

Runner of the week is a tie between Jeff Jones and Michael Chen. They both completed the Mt Dissappointment 50 miler over the weekend just outside of Pasadena. I hope to go there someday to watch the Wildcats play football on New Years day, but I am not holding my breathe. But I digress. JJ completed the race in just under 13 hours gaining his re-admittance to the WMRC and Micheal finished around 14.5 hours. The amazing thing about Michael, as usual, he did not train for this, I think he did 2- 10 mile training runs if that. Well done boys. JJ's movie is posted here....

Runners up are Joe Galope and Laura Encinas. Both completed the Flagstaff half marathon in 1:49 and 1:54 respectively. Great job up there. Did you guys do beer bongs with Matt Leinart after, just askin....

We will see everyone tomorrow morning, should be good weather for this time of year.

Sometimes Mark is so funny. Wildcats, Pasadena, New Years day? Stop it! You are killing me with that humor!

JJ's movie is terrific. Sounds like Jody has a new fan!

Joe, thanks for my sweet finish pic! You can beat out the official race photog's - a great new day job to pay for your less successful poker games, perhaps? ;-) Nice pace on the race, by the way, maybe i'll give you more of a run for your money next August...
