As the nation celebrated its' birthday and fireworks were being prepped to grace the sky, our local running universe was shaken by the defeat of Lou by his daughter, Jennifer. The torch has been passed down.
Maybe if the course had been an accurate 5 miles, instead of 5.1 Lou could have won? No, wait, Lou was behind the entire time. Well, maybe if Lou had biked to the course first, as in past years, his old man legs would have had a higher cadence during the race? Hmmm, probably not.
Oh, face it, Lou got his behind kicked. He might be King of the House, but he is no longer the fastest runner. Congratulations Jennifer!
It is our job, no our obligation as Lou's Sals teammates to make sure this never happens again. This means longer harder runs. No more stopping on the towpath to look at the pretty rock or the cloud that looks like a unicorn. We need to focus and work for a common goal. Once our kids get faster than us and get Gold Visa cards we are useless.
ReplyDeleteWhat about snapping turtles, can't we stop and look at them?
ReplyDeleteLonger harder runs are fine. I deserve that. But no, to stopping for turtles. Way to dangerous. Once a turtle knocked me off my bike on the towpath. Still have night mares from that. Onward to the Boilermaker and redemption!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean, "King of the house"???
