Hockey

If you haven’t been here for a while, you should look at the archives. <<<I went to a hockey game last night, and saw our team defeat Alpena 4 – 1.When I first got there it was half way thru the first period, and the score was 2 – 1 . I don’t know who did what up until then. I did see David Hanrahan play some great defense as well as score a goal that he wove thru the crowd on his own during powerplay. Jake Nickerson played with intensity (I knew he could apply) and scored a goal himself on an open net at the end of the game. Eric Rivard, well we gotta get him to apply to XC, what I saw him doing on the ice. The guy can play and mix it up. Mitch Snider was of course sitting out right now due to having broken his wrist when he was squashed between 2 Cadillac guys in a previous game. So I imagine he’s anxious to get back in there.       ____ Good job guys!  You others – we should be getting out and seeing our team members perform in their other sports. There is definitely not enough support of sports in this school. Going to games and matches is a simple way to make a difference. It also gets you out and doing something good.  >>>>>>>> Also on Saturday Casey Goss survived the “Timberlane Hill” during the Frozen Foot race and cruised in strong thru the balance of the race. Geoff Burns went up against familiar arch rival  and friend Jacob Secor and won going away. He broke him on the previously mentioned hill and ran strong all the way home. Good job guys! So how about the rest of you? Been out sledding lately?   Z

SATURDAY racers / runners

Hey I forgot to mention in my previous post, (which you should read) that I’m inviting any of you who run the frozen foot race over to my place afterward for hot chocolate. Maybe some chili if I can manage. This is purely intended to lure you team members out to participate in the run this Sat., and the offer only stands for those who run. Hope to see you there… and here!   Z

HEY, HOW YA DOIN’ ?

I’m back. I’m with it again. So now where the heck are you?Are you getting out the door and getting your exercise? Hopefully that includes some running. Remember that you’ll accomplish as much in the future as you invest for it today aaand tomorrow. Don’t put it off, and don’t get soft.  I guess that beginning next week (since we are in this week) you are all invited to meet me at my place at 213 S. Elmwood,           3 houses north of  Sixth st.. I’ll be there working on the house on Tuesdays, you meet me there after school if you can make it, and we’ll go for a run. Not a big deal, but we’ll get something done. If several guys start to show up we may have different distance runs according to the needs. In an hour or so we’ll be all done, sometimes less.On Wednesdays at 7:30 pm I leave an open invitation for all that wish to ,  join me for a stretching session at my place on the Peninsula – Edmar Dr.. In about an hour we’ll cover a lot of good flexibility work. It might be a good idea to bring a mat to stretch on if you have one, in case we get several people here.There are some interesting things coming up soon that may give you some incentive, and interest. This Friday night the track club is having their annual featured speaker. This year the speaker is a former Wisconsin U. runner, a female several Big 10 champ, and NCAA champ – mostly in XC & the 5k. She’s been a world class runner after school as well.
