New Addition

Cousin Emily and Bryan welcomed their baby, Devlin Brown, today - a few weeks ahead of schedule - so congratulations to the two of you!

Alyssa got in the news again, this time just a little on-campus publication that I'm sure nobody reads.

I will no longer be requesting anyone sign up for Club Challenge, if you haven't done so already I don't really care - our team is as stacked as it will get.

Here is a shot of the guys out on course from this past Saturday:

Pass the Guacamole

If anyone watched the commercials last night during the game, you'll understand the title.

Man, what an absurd amount of snowfall! I seriously thought it would not even snow. Now my car is stuck in the garage and I can't get it out.

A few race results but some other big news, so here we go!

Hawaiian Mile: Ryan Schmidt grabs the W in 4:46, besting his nearest competitor by 2 seconds in this road/track mile.

Sedona Half Marathon: Tough race, 1100' of elevation gain and seems like it's pretty cold there in the mornings. Tiny little Claire ran a 1:56:55.

Giving Birth: Donna popped out little Vivienne Simms after being in labor for a thousand hours.

Drinking and Running: Ben ran from Mt. Vernon at midnight on Friday to meet up with a few of us. He was already drunk and he came in soaking wet and blind. It was hilarious. Kendra = not amused.

Running in the Snow: I know more than a few of you did your best to get your runs in despite the conditions. That's pretty sweet. Some of us just went outside and walked around in sneakers and took pictures of stuff.

Purple Drink Athlete of the Week goes to R. Schmidt for his win and a great time in a road mile. That's one of the faster times we've seen for a mile in a while around here!

Congratulations Kris and Donna!

This just in...

Vivenne Ara Simms was born just after 5 in the afternoon on Sunday, February 7 to happy parents Kris and Donna.

No word on which heritage she will claim just yet in order to get into a good preschool, but since February is Black History Monf I would guess "African American."

Congrats you two!

Now which of you gamblers had Super Bowl Sunday in the baby pool??

Voting Scandal Rocks TWSS!

Broward County, FL - Residents of the beleagured, voting-incapable county, which was at the center of voting snafus in the 2000 and 2004 Presidential elections, breathed a collective sigh of relief this weekend as Team That's What She Said relieved them of their dubious distinction as worst voters ever.

I had to laugh last week as the voting for our Hubs of Fury name was taking place. First it was fairly even between the two frontrunners, with Dead Man Riding possessing a slight lead. Then after Kris' plea for FURINOX votes, the spike in voting was considerable. Furinox seized the lead, but overnight Gallup polls showed that an inordinate amount of votes were cast in favor of Dead Man Riding. So either someone was clearing their cookies or voting from every computer they could find, because we certainly never have over 50 people voting. I don't even think that many people read this thing.

That said, I declare Hubs of Fury 5: Dead Man Riding, to be the name. This is (hopefully) the only time we can use that name really, and as Emily pointed out, it fits in well with the around-Halloween theme. Furinox can still be used, and perhaps my two choices which received barely any votes, can be used at some point as well.

Marine Corps Marathon: Following last year's unbelievable marathon debut by Will Knox at Philly (2:30:24), we were all anxiously awaiting the sequel. But, with his new job came a little less time to put in "that type" of training, so expectations were lowering heading into this past weekend's MCM. It seemed like a great day to run, and Will used an impressive negative split (1:26 first half, 1:21 second half) to run a 1:47:15 for 106th place.

Marine Corps 10k: Dr. J had her sights set on this race and was looking for a big result - which she seemed to get, running a 40:12 for 3rd place woman.

Charlottesville Fall Classic 10k: Eileen headed down to C-Ville for this race, which attracted some elite talent, and she took 8th F/22nd Overall with a 40:53.

Our Purple Drink Athlete of the Week - for the first time this year and the first since his marathon last year - goes to Will Knox. He's done just 3 races this year and they've all come since Labor Day.

The week ahead looks to be decent, nice today, but some rain in the forecast over the next few. That means we may get wet tomorrow. I'll be there but may be a couple minutes late so get the warmup rolling. The workout is going to be 3x[400-800-400] with 1:00 after intervals and 2:00 after sets. The idea of this workout is to do these at your goal pace for whatever race you've got coming up. That means it probably won't feel that hard, which is why the rest is short.

And CONGRATULATIONS to Kyle Smits and his wife, who welcomed their first child, Ella Jane Smits, on Friday!
