Happy New Year!
Posted by Mike Dopke under: Mike Dopke (Coach) .
It is only January 3rd and I have already lost the 5 pounds I had gained since Thanksgiving. Thanks stomach flu! I am actually kind of relieved but now am without a resolution. Oh well. Like the sands through the hourglass, so are the people through the door at the Y. It would seem that the resolution folks are back at it once again. The YMCA was absolutely packed at 5:30 a.m. yesterday. I have never seen so many groggy folks clearly not used to predawn exercise. I had a very good run on fresh legs coming off my 3-day illness.
Congratulations to all the Road Warriors who raced in the Resolution Run. I had intended on joining you before coming down with the flu. Instead, I spent most of the weekend watching football on the couch and was in bed at 8:45 on New Years Eve. Here are a few recently learned words of wisdom. If you think you might be getting sick, FOR JIMINY’S SAKE DON’T GO OUT FOR CHINESE AND ORDER HUNAN CHICKEN! That’s all I have to say about that.
It looks like we are going to have some great running weather this weekend. I am really looking forward to the official Run Gazelle 5/3 training kickoff on Saturday. With the warm temperatures we should have a good turnout. I only hope Stargardt doesn’t put a hurtin on me with fresh legs now that his streak is over.
One Comment so far...

Man’s mind and spirit grow with the space in which they are allowed to operate. The committee judged the promises and offers of this mission to be impossible, vain, and worthy of rejection: that (it) was not proper to favor an affair that rested on such weak foundations and which appeared uncertain and impossible…
To set foot on the soil of the asteroids, to lift by hand a rock from the Moon, to observe Mars from a distance of several tens of kilometers, to land on its satellite or even on its surface, what can be more fantastic? From the moment of using rocket devices a new great era will begin in astronomy: the epoch of the more intensive study of the firmament.
You think the only people who are people, Are the ones who look and think the way you do, But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, You’ll learn the things you never knew you never knew… You can own the Earth and still, All you’ll own is earth until You can paint with all the colors of the wind.
