** RUN REPORT FOR 1/28/12 (8:00 a.m. Start Time!)
A big-time … THANKS, DAWG … to Master Waterbottle for takin’ attendance fer me last week. The Zen-ster felt kinda lousy, in general, and couldn’t move his neck … making driving a bit problematic. He be all right now and lookin’ forward to gettin’ the dirt on everybody this week!
It’s usually Waterbottle who thinks all negative events are caused by a government conspiracy, but … COME … ON!!! Where is the damned snow? Moi is so wanting to bust a move with my snow blower. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?!
Lotsa runners givin’ our routes a good workout last week. Tens ‘n’ Shawmonts ‘n’ SpringMills ‘n’ … HELL! You’d think there was a spring marathon comin’ up.
THANK YOU to the 2 newbies and 21 veterans that put a hurtin’ on Forbidden Drive last week. I missed seein’ y’all. I checked with the Park Police and they said no citations were issued for rowdiness or public whizzing (Teddio was in Houston, right?). Looks like Saturday morning is gonna be mid 30’s and partly sunny, so ANOTHER nice day fer running.
Train Safe and Have Fun,
Zen Yanni, student of the art of being
