Everyone remember how I said we need a MVP trophy .... I got us one today, you guys will love it! No clues on what exactly it is, but here are the rules .......
Every week someone will be chosen for the tuesday night track workout MVP. It will be based on a number of things ..... Effert, sportsmanship, appearance, improvement from last week, Durablitly, speed, Humor ..... among other things. The person will be chosen by a team of 4 people 1. Jon Adams cause he is the coach. 2. Myself cause this is my game and my toys so I get to have a say. 3. Brent Ward cause he makes me laugh and can probably be the most objective. ..... The 4th person will be whoever won the award the previous week. The judges will take input from whoever wants to offer it.
Once you recieve the award it is yours for the week, you must bring it back the next week though. Also if you are chosen and you choose to join the rest of the group at hooters that evening, your tab will be on the rest of the team. This is a very prestiagous award and not to be taken lightly ...... some peopple have been fighting for this honor for years and never gotten it. Good luck to everyone.
Any other suggestions? What do you think? The awards Ceremony will be immediately following the workout.

I'm tempted to say "cool, count me in" except that with the upcoming races in October, I'll probably be doing speedwork on Wednesdays most every week in October so I won't be around to compete for it  or have a say if I should win  (which I should since I ran 1000 meter repeats in 3:47 to 3:57 this week and will surely run under 3:40 next week  ). |

If I win people will love that since I am a "Cheap date." This past Tues. would have been a tough one to decide on. Everyone was hurting and working very hard. Plus all of you were so good to cheer one another on. Great job!

Athena you will not be coming to our tuesday night workouts anymore? Just because of the races in October? Tuesday is still a good day for the workout! The first award will be given out this coming tuesday. everyone make plans to attend. it should prove to be interesting.

Kick Ass!! Sounds like an outstanding idea!
And to answer Jill's question: Yes, I am sure I can be bribed. But, like Wyman bribes can only be discussed in private ;D

lief sorry about the mix up I am checking this forum from my tv screen in a hotel room with a wireless keyboard, anyway it is hard to see the author of some of the postings. I hope you can continue to make it out on tuesday's.

lief sorry about the mix up I am checking this forum from my tv screen in a hotel room with a wireless keyboard, anyway it is hard to see the author of some of the postings. I hope you can continue to make it out on tuesday's. Wyman - I can still remember 19 years ago, when I was 23, a time when I could do speedwork on Tuesdays, run long easy on Wednesdays, do tempo on Thursdays, and still race on the weekends. Those days are only memories. While I really like getting a chance to interface with you guys  , I'm at an age where, if I run a race on Saturday, I won't be ready for speed until Wednesday and if I'm racing on Saturday, I need Thursday and Friday to rest from a Wednesday speed session to be ready. If I do speed on Tuesday, I end up having to take threee days easy to be ready to race and that's too much rest. So, while I'd like to join you or get you guys to change your schedules to Wednesdays, neither option is really feasible. I'll just go it alone and taunt you guys from cyberspace. Leif |

I trust that this means ANYONE who shows up has a chance? What if I bring ice cream? What if I wear a costume? Do these things merit extra marks for humour and appearance? Will there be a talent competition? My baton is dusty... Do I get to make a World Peace speech? "...and I want to be a veterinarian because I love working with children." As for bribes, 5 minutes if it's done right ...and mitis sapientia; I have now done three, count em, THREE of my speed work outs, and haven't blown, torn, shattered or otherwise maimed any body parts. I'm coming for you justin!..ok, maybe jon...ok maybe athena...ok maybe ...maybe I'll leave now cuz I don't know anyone on your team that I could beat...on the track at least. Pax lynn |

1.) Yes 2.) It couldn't hurt. 3.) Could work either way. The thought of Wyman dressed as "Baby New year" is pretty scary. 4.) Probably not. 5.) No....this could lead to a Karaoke breakout. That is reserved for Thursday nights at Judge's. 6.) If you must. 7.)......... ;D LOL! Come out and join us Lynn, everyone is certainly welcome. |
