Merry Christmas from the Milk Table

We’d like to wish you and yours a very Merry and Blessed Christmas filled with joy.

The birth of Jesus our Savior, reminds us to recall the other blessings we’ve received. Among these blessings is the success of the Milk Table. The great distance this blog of humble origins has traveled is remarkable and truly a blessing. This could not be possible without your support, encouragement, and involvement. Runners, Coaches, Alums, Parents, Families, and Friends: we thank you for everything you’ve done. It means the world.

It has been an incredible year filled with fast times, many laughs, and great memories. The Milk Table is proud to have been a part of it. We tried to expand the happiness and fun beyond the track and 5,000 meter line by recording our adventures and sharing them with whoever will listen. During this time, we experienced the lows of missing out on State Track and the highs of the 16th Straight trip to State Cross Country and newborn babies. It really has been quite the ride, one that will not soon be forgotten.

Once again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. We love you guys.

p.s. The picture above is an actual Christmas card that we made and distributed to the families of the runners on the card and all of the coaches. The idea came about when the picture on the bottom right was taken on the ride to Rim Rock and we said it was a “Christmas card picture.” So Christmas time rolled around and we made it a reality. The two color shots are from the first meet (Nike) and last meet of the season (State). Top left is the varsity guys sitting outside the Jewel Box on our Forest Park run. Top middle is on the return trip from State. Bottom middle was taken while we were waiting during the awards ceremony at the Parkway West Invite at McNair Park.
