Detour

Today was more or less a repeat of last Wednesday. We did trade Scherping for Michael Callahan for this week’s long run at Creve Coeur Lake. We ended up taking a very erratic path for the 70 minute run. But 70 minutes is 70 minutes no matter which way you go.

We stood out wherever went because it was Bright Clothes. It was a huge success; we had so much neon on: green, yellow, and salmon. This included our trip down the trail that leads from CC Lake to St. Charles. We messed around trying to come up with funny acronyms for random letter combinations.

In “Men for Others” spirit we cheered on a rower during the final 10 minutes of our run chanting “Row! Row! Row!” Amazingly, we were meet with hostility and angry. The rower proceeded to say what some of us considered to be the meanest thing we have ever heard while running. He commented on our shirts and called us a word that cannot be repeated on this family friendly blog. Needless to say no of us will ever be friends with a rower. Waller thought the terrible comment might have been because we smoked a crew team in a race during XC.

During stretching we were naming state capitals. It didn’t go quite as well as we had thought. Might need to study up so that we can get all of them next time. Have to get in back to our prime from 4th grade social studies. Our biggest misses were probably Alabama and Georgia.

Matt and Kevin defended their milk carton bball national championship defeating Waller and Callahan 2-1 on another O’Connor hock shoot.

Quote of the Day: “Cake.”- Seiler. This was the only word he said for about the first 3 minutes of the run. At this point Martini went on a crazy mid-run intervention that was hilarious. He screamed that Jacob would have to go through “6 to 8 weeks of intensive therapy” to stop his cake addiction.

Joke of the Day: Well, about 48 minutes into the run Nick who was stopping early because he was sick yesterday took Matt’s keys. He proceeded to get in his car and drive off. Matt started freaking out, but we just continued on with the run as if nothing happened. After a 10 minute mini loop we returned to the parking lot to find that Nick had also returned. Some of us were disappointed though since he didn’t bring McDonalds.

On an almost complete side note.
Because Kevin was unsuccessful finding a prom date last time at CC Lake and didn’t have any hope for this time, he decided to take prom into his own hands with the help of the team. On our way to the Lake we made a full team stop at a friend’s of Kevin. Unfortunately, she wasn’t home from school yet. So instead of leaving the prom sign and a note at her house, we came up with a better idea. Take a picture and ask her to prom on the Milk Table.
Sooo…….. Mallory……It’s May 6th by the way. Comment or Call!
