Behind the scene of the Trot - Facts

- Last year 35 runners ran the 5K under 30 minutes, this year 77 runners ran a sub-30! The field is getting stronger.

- 3 children from the Kindergarten class of Ste. Genevieve du Bois ran the whole 5K. Props to you, Joe Zarrilli, Will Mozeliak and Emma Rose Janish! Very impressive.

- Last year, the last runner finished in 49.44, this year despite pushing 2 kids in a stroller the last runner finished in a terrific 42.49.

- Most of our returning runners beat their time from last year. Nice to see you guys still training hard. Special Mention to Sam Berg, Kevin Jackson, Katie Miller, Tracy Bautista, Allison Miller, Shari Bussman, Randy Niederer, Bob Cerame and Mike Normile.

- The Women's Race was a sprint to the finish Line. Our local Mary Simon won by only 7 seconds over Connie Jordan. A classic finish. Connie was running with BarefootRunning Shoes... Wow


Both runners showed great spirit after the race although Connie told me how upset she was for finishing second. I can't wait for the rematch next year!

- Kyle Ormsby won the Men's Race. A Boston Resident, Kyle was visiting his family in St. Louis for Thanksgiving. His Dad ran the Trot as well in an amazing 22.13. Kyle just emailed me: "I enjoyed the race and hope it continues to be successful. All best,Kyle".
Thanks for your kind words Kyle, it means a lot to the Trot Team!

- I already received over 50 emails to thank the Trot Team and the Volunteers for putting this Event together, well we all want to thank you - the Runners - for making it possible.

Spring Break

I am so not familiar with the "Spring Break Concept". I didn't grow up here and what I have beeen told about "Spring Break" by my newphews who are in their early 20s in not really family oriented.

But as a Dad with a child in Kindergarten this year, I must starting thinking about it. Actually, it seems that I should have already booked my trip!

Where do you go?

Any tips?

Are you in charge of the Turkey this year?

Why Tony? Why?

Well, since the story broke, I have been hearing a lot of: "See... French People..."

I need to clarify one thing for the record:

Tony Parker was born in Belgium.
His mom is a Dutch Model.. Pamela Firestone
His dad - Tony Parker Sr. - is an African American who played basketball at Layola University in Chicago.

So much for the French..........

Now, read the story below and let me know your thoughts...
