You guys at yesterday's Fleet Feet St Louis XC Kick-Off were awesome yesterday. The short 2-mile course seemed to keep all of you excited to start the season with a fun race while those longer 5ks loom off in the distance like those menacing grey clouds we had yesterday.

Well at least most of you did. 

I met one young gent who wasn't too pumped to actually start the race. Understandably, you can't always have that giddy feeling (I know i don't), but for times like that I watch this video me and Juice used to show the kids at Smoky Mountain to get them pumped up for the day's activities.

Anyways, St Louis, you kicked butt. Hopefully some of you will upload your own cool videos and pictures of your team for our upcoming contests to help me pick some schools to visit. It's up to you guys to tell me where to go!!

Alright dudes, I better get going. I have to get to Mobile, Alabama tomorrow for the Challenge of Champions. Remember, take it easy, and if it's easy - take it twice.
