It seems that in honor of Groundhog Day Tom has peeped his head out of his burrow and decided to come out of running seclusion. Yes, that is right... TOM came running this morning. I almost slipped and fell, but that was because of ice, not because TOM blessed us with his presence. However, speaking of presence, his made it quite apparent that we need to add a rule to the morning running club by-law. We only have one by-law so far, but I know we are all getting old (especially Wendy since it is her BIRTHDAY TODAY) just to recap:
1. Must NOT hate BEER.
After running with TOM:
2. A runner (specifically TOM) is limited to one joke per run.
Now, if they were GOOD jokes we would not need this rule, but TOM's running seclusion has seriously impaired his judgement. Or maybe his judgement is skewed by the fact that he hangs out with fifth graders all day and they are a much easier crowd than a bunch of middle age people huffing and puffing up Habegger Street. I normally am an inclusive person and believe in NOT writing a rule to for one person, but since TOM didn't realize the significance of the fact that he had to explain a bunch line to us, I feel the need for bylaw #2 is justified.
And just in case you were wondering, it wasn't as cold as forecasted this morning and the wind didn't freeze our skin. I was expecting just the Cousins (since that was the only ones signed up on the poll - go figure) but Kwik Trip gal and of course TOM came too! We ran the old route to avoid ice covered ice walks so the slipping was at a minimum.
Don't forget: It is WENDY'S BIRTHDAY TODAY.
