Greetings Team Little Guy supporters!
It has been several months and many miles since my last TLG update. So here is a quick update of how the team is doing in early 2008.
The One and Only Slacker has converted from a van driver to a runner! He is training hard to run the Cherry Blossom 10 miler in April. Agnoli has been sidelined with a BAD case of IT band syndrome. He has been spending some time on his bike and in physical therapy. He also is registered for Cherry Blossom…heal fast Agnoli! Big Daddy Ford has taken some time off after the Denver Marathon to rest his mind and add some inches to his waist line. At least the locker room odor has decreased in his absence.
Bubba is doing his typical maintenance training, 40 minutes a day 6 days a week and drinking as much wine as he can get his hands on. Bubba is making the trek to Cherry Blossom and this race brings back fond memories of much faster times for the old man. Bubba ran his 10 mile personal record at this race about 20 years ago. 61 minutes and some change an awesome time for 10 miles! Water Boy Jeff has purchased some new techy toys for 2008 and we hope to add some podcast and video footage to the site in 2008…scary very scary! He also has been taking Agnoli for rides in the company van to keep his driving skills sharp.
Austin has shared reports of doing some races including a marathon or two. We will see him and his GU in DC for Cherry Blossom. Major Heyden has started hard workouts preparing for a few triathlons he plans to do this year. I hope he does as well in those events as he did selling CUNA Mutual products. The major was the number 1 salesperson in the company for 2007 and he ran mountain goat hard…MY HERO! He too will be participating in Cherry Blossom.
BadRad has been logging some serious miles in the last few months. He has completed 2 strong half marathons, finishing the second one in a blazing time of 1:47. He is fit and focused on posting a fast time at Cherry Blossom. Barely in shape Schline is relaxing and drinking some Buds. I think Bubba worked on a training schedule for him.
No word from the following team members John Jr., Esteve, The Italian Stallion, or the other Schline. Hopefully they are training hard! September and the Blue Ridge Relay Race will be here before we know it.
I have been doing a little training myself. Bubba challenged me to beat his PR at Cherry Blossom…so I plan to give it my best shot. In the mean time I’m doing a little duathlon this Saturday in Lewisville. 5k run, 15 mile ride, 2 mile run. Some of the other Team Little Guys are also doing the race as teams. BadRad is running with Agnoli riding and the Slacker is running with the Major riding. It should be a fun event. We will post pictures of the race next week.
Run Little Guy Run!!
