White Man Says Go!

Cross here. Cross there. Today was the day of the street crossings. In the Lindberg and back run we crossed at crosswalks so many times that we lost count.

It nice recovery run after yesterday’s time trial and workout. Matt had an impressive game of Spotter. He beat Jacob handedly after being down 2-0. Martini tried to add to his collection of car parts with a wheel well but was denied by Rob.

And now a little something from Glen:
Today marked the longest run of Alex Potter’s cross country season and Pat Callahan and Justin Potter made sure it wasn’t a disappointment. They imagined the run as if we were Romans marching. It was decided by Patrick that I was Marc Antony and Alex was Cleopatra. Later it was revised and Alex became Caesar and we were Roman Senators. Halfway through Potter and I were separated from the rest of the group and we had a variety of conversations with topics including Taylor Swift, previous races, and the blog.

Congratulations to John Madey as he took home Runner of the Week honors for his performance in the super secret Patriot Classic Meet last Thursday. He became only the second Spartan to break the 17 minute barrier this year. Way to go Bulldog! We’re looking forward to having you back in the lineup this weekend.

Quote of the Day: “White man says go!”- Just about the entire top group when every crosswalk signed changed.

Joke of the Day: “Run Around Naked. Kinda.”- The old School Nike ad that Kevin gave Jacob before practice. It was the perfect day for this as Jacob had his maroon flap shorts.
