Hair today Goon Tomorrow

I don't know man.

I think I need a makeover. All these cats in Ultrarunning are getting so young! Little Lisa is running 100's of miles. My friend Alisa is like 12 and she won Key West outright last year. She was 2nd overall at LOST. She ruled at Badwater. The dude that won Croom this year, in 6:30, is 24. And me, I'm just getting older, and not better.

If I can't be young, maybe I can look young. I just made my appointment with Si Sperling, he's going to set me up. It's not a wig, it's a hair replacement system!

'Cept if'n your brother wants to run a 50 on his fiftieth, could you do that wid him? Pretty unlikely, given the state of things, but anything's possible, right?

Chase Squires said...

Yeah, I'm feeling the age, bro. Can't believe the first 50 miler I ran is still my fastest.

My inbox is full of offers that promise to make you look / feel / act younger. I could forward a few. Then again, remember what Milton Berle said about running... I'll be celebrating the 6th anniversary of my 29th this year so my deepest thanks for lumping me in with the kids that shop at Hot Topic. I still love to be carded!

Mr. Matt said...

Carded! Yoikes, I was out with my BFF, my assistant track coach, and he got carded! He has a beard, a bald spot, and he's too smart to be sub 21, yet, I think his purpose in life was to make me feel ancient. I bet he paid the server to do that, yeah, that's the ticket.

And AS, I know you are really 21!

I'm not nearly as old as you guys, but I feel you. I was planning to wait til I turned 40 to start coloring my hair. But after the numerous comments about the gray that shimmers on top of my head during my last trip home, I've reconsidered...

Mr. Matt said...

Hair turned grey, don't fret, mine turned loose!

Oh well, such a little thing to worry about.

I heard that Stu is changing the name of his race to Andy Oaks.

There's a great race in May up in Virginia called Andy Dominion.

Star claims that she'll be running the Adam Horse 100 next year.

Prof - You're a hoot. Funnier AND better looking than me. I am humbled...even more so than my first DNF at Andywater.

Mr. Matt said...

Hey there Dr. Professor, always good to hear from you. And yes, all those rumors are true.

Dean, looks like you got told!

All's I know is I like to hug people. And by "hug," I mean "kick," and by "people," I mean "babies."

Just sayin.
