1) Knapp joining the 100 mile club
2) Nikki gracing the running photographer's site
The astute runner is happier that the knee brace was worn as a bracelet and not for a knee
3) Pat recording the best 5k time for the (limited) team history
4) Chris Solinsky throwing up sub 27 for the 10k (first for USA)
5) the number of views of this site will surpass my mileage since Feb. 09 (albeit half of the views are from me constantly editing content)
6) A certain preceptor would like to join the team for one race; yea or nay?
Recruitment for Matty's 5k (cough Eamonn cough) and for a Texas team should be thrown on the agenda.
Angell to Blackstone to Hope to Olney and back
Tang (NB 903)
Up Angell (a 7% grade hill, which according to my best source, wikianswers, means its roughly 369.6 feet rise over 5280 feet (269.6/5280 = .07 or 7%) saw 2 polar bears on Hope, a wooden nickel (? I brought it home), AND the Y chromosome strikes again; some kid in a polo, black socks and trail shoes tried racing me at the beginning of Blackstone. Do not challenge me.
And many of you may wonder why I eat so "healthy". To that I offer, nothing tastes better than being fast. And then someone may ask, you probably will never be the fastest human and that is right unless I sprout another pair of legs. But I can at least try and have fun becoming the fastest Aaron Tang.
It seems I run every time there's a drinking holiday (St. Pat's, Cinco de Mayo, Thurs-Sat for college) or maybe running every day makes a holiday a coincidence. Anyways, I feel like this guy.
