He is Outta Here!

Before we begin, lets pause for a moment of silence in memory of the voice of the World [expletive deleted] Champion, Philadelphia Phillies. He was the voice of my childhood (of all my years of baseball, in fact), the voice of NFL films, and the voice of Chunky Soup Commercials. Harry Kalas died on Monday. I've probably heard more of his voice in my life than any other non-family member. It's kind of sad.

[Insert silent moment here.]

Moving on -- this is Terry here. I'm back and I'm better than ever. Ok, not really, but worse than ever is still noteworthy.

I've got a headache, so I'll be brief (for me).

1. A huge thank you to Mark for his excellent leadership while I was out surfing.



2. We are losing one of our spark plugs. Aubrey is following her heart and moving to Maryland soon. Last week was her last TRY. :-( Good luck Aubs! Keep up the hard work and maybe our running paths will cross again some day.



(Sorry for including the picture -- I couldn't help it. I'm going to miss your fresh attitude towards running. Thanks for your inspiration for the past year!)

3. You all know the routine. Show up at 5:20, run at 5:30. It's going to be nice weather so maybe you all can get your Easter candy-asses out there this week?!!



(Why is it the kid from California showed up last week and only one other person did?) No more excuses! The summer running season starts now. Two and half weeks til the Mountain Goat (register by the 22nd before the price goes up again). 10 (or 11?) weeks until the Corporate Challenge. Time for some speed work. 4 mile run with 1/4 mile intervals...


4. This has nothing to do with running, but this book has really changed my life. I used to think I was alone -- and it made me ashamed. Perhaps someone else in the group could benefit from the guidance contained in it as well?
