How about that weather this Saturday? 80F, 87% humidity! A buddy of mine declared that she lost 8lbs in water after a 12 mile long run. That beats my 7lbs weight loss during 2012 Boston Marathon. So, Tom, you were wondering which was worse? Saturday’s Team Championship or Boston? I’d say it came close!
Hey NYRR, can you please fix Marco Polo’s race record? He got a bad D-Tag and his race didn’t register. And he’s one of our finest (and tallest)! What gives? We actually had 10 men kick butt this Saturday! He's even on your website, you know! (from left to right Gio, Capt Chirs, Victor, Hiro, Marco Polo)
2 brand new Lady Agonites braved the heat and took on the Team Championship this race. We are so proud of you ladies! Thank you for joining our weird Team!
It was fun to cheer fellow Team mates run, and I loved the expressions on everybody. I should’ve brought my camera to capture everyone’s “Brightroom Moment”. Hey, we need to do a collage of mid-race funny expression photos.
I had to bow out of the Team Championship, due to a bad shin splints that started about 2 weeks ago. Maharaja proceeded to scare me by saying that if I don’t rest it, my shin well fall off the bone a la Osso Buco. I'm never running again.
Speaking of Osso Buco, fantastic tasty food was served at weekend’s first annual Agony Picnic. Hey, we might not have scored highest points at the Team Championship, but we certainly had the winning spread amongst all the Teams! We aren’t talking about mere doughnuts and coffee here. We’re talking 5 star quality food, complete with delicious cheesecake desert and Mimosas! Melissa’s “Cowboy Caviar” was quite the hit, as well as Marco Polo’s Summer Rice Salad. Rachana’s giant container of fresh Mangos cooled us down big time. Everything was major deliciousness!
We all had fun Saturday despite the sticky-icky weather. It’s not about team points or silly bragging rights. It’s about having a good time through running. It’s not about coming in first or second, but beating that random targeted stranger. I know Lisa was a major winner at Team Championship, as she beat out both of her two targets running ahead of her. It’s moments like this that makes running fun. Let’s try to remember why we started this running adventure before we get too wrapped up in points business!
Update on Xena. The Warrior Princess is recovering well, but still having difficulty moving around. It must be super frustrating for her. I have a mere Osso Buco leg, and I’m about to pull my hair out. So everybody, let’s send her photos of cute puppies. She especially loves Border Collie puppies.
One last thing: Not everybody has registered with our Team Forum. It’s important that you do, so we don’t have to keep on sending out hundreds of e-mails to each other. Also, the forum is a great place to post your questions and concerns. We will always make the effort to respond to you as soon as possible.
