Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 1998 8:49 PM Subject: Incline Club V3 LR #5 The last club run of the 1998 year will be this Sunday December, 27th at 8 a.m. It is the Ute Indian Trail/Waldo Canyon lollipop loop. This is also the last of the “short” long runs we will be doing. Starting next month we will add about 1/2 hour to our long runs:-) **** I am just now recovering from the recent “Incline Club weekend.” Here is the wrap-up for those that missed it on the Incline Club Web Page: 12/19/98 28 people came to the 1st Incline Club X-Mas party at Larry M’s house. The Mexican potluck dinner was a huge hit and it was very appropriate that one of the gifts received from the goofy gift exchange was a fart fan. Also a book titled “How to Shit in the Woods” was given as a gift and made for good study for the next day’s run. Other gifts included butt floss, a breast builder, and a pair of shoes — size 14. Yes the true character of the club shined through with such thoughtful gifts to love and cherish. 12/20/98 18 and 5 1/2s (the K9s) braved a high temperature of 7 degrees!!! BRRRRRR!!!! It was truly incredible — if not crazy — that this many people would show on a day like that. It used to be that when the weather was bad we would just get 4 psychos — now it seems the whole club has gone psycho:-) But that is the point after all: It is much better to suffer with others than to suffer by oneself! After the run only five were warm enough to meet for breakfast. The rest headed for hot baths and warm beds!!! **** Speaking of psycho: 8 people and 3 dogs have made all 4 long runs. There are so many that have made 3 runs that if one of the leaders misses a run they could drop as many as 21 spots on the workout leader board. Psycho indeed! **** I am very pleased to announce that Pat Lockhart filled all 20 spots she had to help Thom S’s family. A warm thanks go to all those who helped out! **** Happy Holidays!!! **** Go out hard, when it hurts speed up...
