Lately I’m thinking…

Following the late-breaking news that I won’t be running in the Snow Joke half-marathon this year due to injury, I would like to officially confirm Steph and I’s attendance. See you guys there?? The only thing I can think of that’s better than running in the Snow Joke, is not running the Snow Joke. This is the official sign to direct you to the race. I know it looks official enough, but keep in mind it’s resting against a 3 feet tall mini stop sign meant for snowmobiles or people walking i suppose, not cars. See the soapbox for a round of race day instructions from the website, just like last year.

This is really interesting…

So i’ve read and heard about how intense and fired up Nick Holt is (the UW defensive coordinator) but I had no idea until I saw him last night. Up for live auction was Nick joining you and a couple friends for beers at the Duchess (pretty cool item). The bidding was up to $1,000 (when you could go drink there by yourself for like 9 dollars) when Nick grabbed the Mic and yelled “We’re not going to be Nebraska’s ass for less than $1500”. He then intimated 3 different guys into bidding $4,000 each! Looks like Nick’s going on a bender, because they sold different nights to two different guys for 4,000, and to one guy for $4,250. Sounds like the last guy got screwed in the deal if you ask me

Lately I’m thinking…

Mikey, the signing day function was really fun. UW signed a top 20 class which included the 2 leading rushers in all of california and the “hardest hitting” safety in California, i.e. the exact opposite of me. On a side note, i think the CATS are going to beat the grazzlies next year

Lately I’m thinking…

“Ya, well it must be pretty easy to win, when you NEVER MOVE YOUR BACK ROW!”

The Soapbox:

“You may list your dog as a participant for $1.00 when you pay your fee. Do not fill out an application for your dog”. “Due to our race-day registration policy, we take reservations for T-shirts”. “We can’t eat unsold shirts”. “Duplicate reservations are discouraged”. “The entire course is open to vehicular traffic during the Event.”. “Do not cross the Finish Line twice” “E-mail is the preferred method of reserving shirts. You may leave a message on the Race Director’s phone – his answering machine might be working. Try him in the evening if you want to talk to him.” Snow Joke!
