In case you were on another planet, the Colts won, the Bears lost, we’re not quite sure what to think of Prince or the commercial breaks…..and they are BACK! No, not the aliens from beyond but we were happy to see Beth Gross, Terri Kunkel and Marga Keizer reappeared from their extended stay in the infirmary (or at least that is where they claim they have been)
Francine Bangs is back from her recent thaw in Austin Texas and fully equipped with Yak Trax. Francine won her age division by a landslide at the 3M Half Marathon in Austin Texas in 2:04. Way to go Francine! We later learned one of our female marathoners did show up in Plainwell after all, only to turn around and head home; it comes as no surprise it was Julie Wojtascek. Dan Wolf was another polar bear we later learned showed up for the run.

The Comets completed their very first 20-miler this Saturday which included a course in orienteering. Space Captain Bonnie started losing people after about 5 minutes of explaining the course navigation plan. Scott Taylor interceded with his track voice, fearing that the marathoners would be lost in the Beyond for light years to come. Could it be that Tim Sochor is going to run a marathon? He claims to be half marathon training, but disappeared into the abyss with the rest of the 20-milers.
Our alien allies from Borgess Run Camp wanted to share their whats-a-Wiki with us. Check it out..it is pretty cool. The password is “run.” “I just can’t seem to figure out their blog.” reported Marty Buffenbarger. “It seems laden with subliminal messages with all the talk about cults and unruly children and alien mascots.” What does all this have to do with running anyway? Alien renegade forces have been attempting to crack the code but with little success. Bonnie and Marty will be heading over to Borgess Run Camp after sending the Beyond runners off this coming Saturday to do further investigation and perhaps throw a party while at it!

Phil Goodwin is going to be a new dad at the end of March; March 29 to be exact! Wouldn’t it be nice if all stork deliveries could be planned this way! Tim and Kayla Kling received 15 demerits after showing up 45 minutes late for Saturday’s run. “Kayla was fine tuning her acceptance speech for her Runner Recognition Award.” reported dad Tim.

Peggy Zeeb is slowly working her way back off the injured list and following in Renee Brady, Patti Montilla & Kim William’s footsteps by becoming an amphibious land and sea creature! Peggy and Brenda Stoddard, by the way, are putting together an all-female Kal-Haven Relay team and need one or two more ladies. E-mail Peggy at pzeeb2000@yahoo.com if interested!
