From VardoFriend Danny Wain

“In case Mike and Craig don't mention it, the three of us went down to the Sycamore 8 in Des Moines on Saturday and ran in 12 degree weather in four inches of snow on top of an inch of ice.  Dave from All 9 Yards sums up Mike's performance on the website:

“Oh, the race - Yes, Mike Mullen ran away from us all - I have watched Mike steadily improve over the years - he has been a top ten finisher at Sycamore for every year, but this year, he just took off and put 3 minutes on his nearest contender by the finish!"

And Craig won his age group. And according to the results, I am now apparently a man named Daniel Wain. At least my slow results won't come up when I am googled!”

(Editor’s Note:  VardoFriends – please refrain from googling Danielle.  Keep your damned hands to yourself.)

All I Want For Christmas Is A New Bike

Dear Santa,

I am selling my bike in the hopes of upgrading in 2008.  (Please see attached description and picture.) But, if you would please leave a new bike under the tree for me, I promise I will be a good boy all year. 

Your friend,

mike mullins


From MasterAwardsBanquetPlanner Kirsten Peterson:

(RE: Tuesday Night Group Run) “ ... campus will probably be one of the first places to get cleaned off, and it's fairly free of vehicle traffic in the evening.  I know we tend to run quite a bit through campus and folks might be getting a little tired of the campus runs, so I tried to change it up a bit while still trying to focus on our safety.  Anyway, it's just a hair over 5 miles.”  http://www.usatf.org/routes/view.asp?rID=182004
