HAPPY THANKSGIVING

The reasons I’m a huge fan of the Badger Cross Country program is that; 1) I’m originally from Wisconsin, 2) they’re awesome and 3) one of my college roommates, G-man, is an assistant coach.

He sent me this photo of the team and their trophy (he’s on the far left).

Digging through my old emails, I also came across this photo of G-man and Arthur Lydiard (again, he’s on the left :-) ).


If anyone is interested in a Championship t-shirt, check this out.

Because of Thanksgiving, I didn’t think I was going to run with Scott this week. Then he emailed me yesterday and wanted to know if I wanted to meet this morning. Heck yeah. We had a nice 50 minute run around his neighborhood and Lake Harriet. Throw in a mile-plus with the dog and I’m calling it 8 miles for the day.

Over the years, if there’s one thing I’ve learned about exercising on the holidays it’s get it in early or you probably won’t get it in at all. So I won’t be sleeping in tomorrow. 8-10 miles at 5 AM – hopefully I can sleep during our 3 hour drive to Iowa. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Lake of the Isles is the northern most, Lake Calhoun is in the middle and Lake Harriet is the southern most. Harriet has a Bandshell on the Northwest "corner".
