The January Frozen Foot Run is upon us January 1.  The social run will be held at 9AM at the State Tree Nursery, south of the fire station at Duff & Airport Road.  One, three, and six-mile routes.  Grub of some sort will be served.  As usual, bring three bucks to help defray costs.  Bring several guests, too.
****Mike cannot send emails right now. Please forward this to runners that you know.
 
We have chili and champagne

Fellow Vardo-a Go-Go's:  This week the VardoGram arrives early, as The Editor is headed to Independence and then to Mount Pleasant for a couple of days.  If Cherokee could have been worked into the plan, the route would have taken in ALL THREE of the state's mental health institutions.  The Tour de Lobotomy.  Thank me.   Now on with the show:

A Plug For YakTrax

Remember a few years ago when Danielle wore these funky things called YakTrax on her running shoes, and we all laughed at her, and called her names, and then shoved her head first into a snowbank? And then Mayor Moran got a pair of them, and we called him Moran Moron, and broke his glasses and made him run home crying?  And the rest of us cool kids swore we'd never wear those stoopid TraxYakkers or whatever. Well, I have a pair now and Mary, The Gentle Gardener has them, and they are the best things since sliced beets for running on snow and ice.  Get 'em at Emerhoff's and ask for the Team Vardo discount. Hell, buy a pair for you and a pair for your pet ferret.  But don't buy them 'til Wednesday, because I bought YakTrax stock and my online trade won't be executed until Tuesday afternoon.
