It can safely be said that the scariest possible scenario has happened: in the absence of Garcon, Hey Bear, Hug, myself, or other marginally sensible Kittys, Tafka and Vadge appear to have become inseparable training partners.
The recipe: take all of Vadge's crazy conspiracy theory suppository training beliefs and his running thong, add Tafka's maniacal self-flagellation and another dash of rock n roll-infused conspiracy theory, and top it all off with their commonly held core principle that HARD, IMMEDIATE over-the-top miles is the surest way to improvement, if not injury. Result: one cluster-fizzy-lizzy of a turkey day run for the rest of us.
Also in the news: the crack RTB webmaster, Tortoise, has just now placed Trudy McBedpans and his "special" 2009 RTB race hair as the first photo in the homepage slideshow. Look pretty, Kittys!
