A Rainy Run

This is the first regular post, and is for Tuesday, March 9, 2010.

An out and back on Ladue with good temperature and some rain always make for a great practice. There is just something calm and refreshing that comes with running in the rain, as long as it's not freezing. Long run days are great times to talk to and get to know the guys you run with. Over ten miles, Zach and I have a great conversation, and we really enjoyed practice. This is a big part of distance running, just running and having a good time. The nice easy long runs are probably my next favorite thing to racing. They're a great chance to relax and get away for a bit.

With this blog comes the Best Dressed Award. It will be decided on during practice and announced here. To win, you simply just have to have style; come to practice looking good. Dress to Impress. Coordination and uniqueness are pretty important. You may like to note that you will be almost guaranteed to lose if you wear a plain white t-shirt or hoody.

Best Dressed: Jacob S. takes home the first ever Best Dressed Award. He was above and beyond the competition with a nice windbreaker jacket and running pants. He was practically dressed, and the jacket broke the wind so it wouldn't break his spirit. Congrats Jacob, and good luck to you in the future.

Joke of the Day: On the run we passed some road kill on Ladue, and it looked like a beaver. Zach then said, "I going to take the dam tour and go to the dam gift shop and get a dam postcard."
