What a difference a week can make!



My subtle hint was received last week or the Philadelphia Sports Hat Trick last night pumped the people up, regardless we had a much improved turnout tonight.  Even with a 20 minute delay due to a high school track meet, all 20 runners stuck around to participate in the season’s first Timed Mile.  It was very cool to have a decent number of veteran Speedsters out tonight to help with lugging the water and everything to and from my car and also with the timing.  So, a grateful thank you goes out to Sharon, Tim, Glenn, Paul, Rod, and Brendan.   

The 20 that came out:  Rahim, Eric T, Brian Abrams (1st Timer! Welcome!), Jim Maze, Sharon, Tim, Kevin D, Jill Case-Leestma (1st Timer! Welcome), Paul, Michael Foehl (1st Timer!  Welcome! I sure hope your icing), Vincent Stout (1st Timer! Welcome!), Maria “Shameful Shoes” Jimenez, John O, Mary K, Rod “Caution Tape” Messenger, Glenn, Joe H, Brendan, and Marty Suresh (1st Timer!  Welcome!). 

 If you count Kevin D as a first timer (First track workout, but not Speedster workout), we had 6 runners out for their first time.  That’s a positive sign that our numbers will be good again this season.  I’m still missing a few nurses, accountants, at least one lawyer, a few school teachers, a handful of engineers, and a good amount of knuckleheads.  So, I’m expecting the numbers to continue to climb.  Thank you to everyone that came out tonight and I will see you on Tuesday.
