I just wanted to take a moment to welcome a long lost favorite member of this running group back into the fold. Survey after survey of warm assed runners has consistently found this runner to be in the top 1 of all runners. If there was a category for Awesome Runners in Best of the Berkshires, this runner's walls would be crumbling under the weight of the plaques. While I'm sure there's no need to tell you who this is, there are some out there who have only recently had the great fortune of meeting this legend of the community. It's with great pleasure that I announce that Judge Sunshiney Ass (AKA
Former
Athlete
Todd) has once again been lacing up his sneakers for more than walks to buy milk at Palmer's.

That's right. After two consecutive Thursday Night Runs it's been confirmed that this pillar of the community is back in the proverbial saddle. Despite his obvious enfattening he has come back strong with all the trash talking and sarcasm you've come to enjoy. It just goes to show you that Greatness is not diminished by BMI. In fact, having been reduced to nearly the same slowness as others has only served to increase his humility.
Anyway. I just wanted to touch base with alls y'alls to let you know what you have to look forward to. To the new folks who haven't had the pleasure of meeting this great man, don't even bother trying to set your hopes high because even if your hopes were as high as Cheech Marin, Snoop Dogg and that dude at Taco Bell hanging out in Springside Park, they'd pale in comparison to the real deal.
Next on the agenda: newbs. I checked to see if there were any pending members and there are none. In fact I don't see any recent additions to the list other than our illustrious Thursday Night Run Coordinator John, who made yet another account with 73rd e-mail address. So pass the word for people to check in, and please let me know if they still aren't receiving e-mails.
