The grass is literally greener on MoCo’s side of the proverbial fence.
?: How & Why are there green areas on the cool season fields?!
Grass paint!
Darker color absorbs more heat (frm the sun) into the grass canopy to = more growth / recovery in painted areas (high use areas)
Thx @philsimpsonKC
- @GuruScapes @GURUTurf guru - for the assist!
This was place amazing:
- 2 side by side fields with pseudo hockey boards as sidelines
- Parents were behind the sound proof glass on upper level
- Parents were behind the glass in a bar

A spectator at XC champs saw a runner stop to fix a brace. A St. Jerome's runner saw she was having trouble & stopped to help. Near the finish, when runners focus on finishing strong this runner reminded us what being a Catholic athlete is about! 📸 & story credit: Patrick Benko
The Gude Dr connector trail: starts at @TrueRespite brewing and you run through this. An out and back to Lake Needwood.
Highly recommend.

While running I often come upon dogs off or on a long leash. When they see me, they quickly try to reign in the K-9.
My go to line is “it’s ok, I don’t bite”.
Gets a laugh 9/10 times, dog inevitability gets in my way & I stop to pet the dog. Everybody wins.
The @ByGollyMolly12 post race interview was everything, and then she told us to have a beer for her. Happy to oblige. #nottalkingtomebutwilldoitanyways – at Maryland, USA

Big idea: do it power ball style, the more people who get vaccinated, the bigger the pot of 💰.
Bonus idea: vaccinate people wherever keno is sold. Captive audience that is always willing to take a shot. @riccimike @GovLarryHogan
