Coach said to never Fade From The Front

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, viewers from all corners of the world (the world is actually round and thus, no corners, but I'm sure you get my point)....we are back! (This is when you smile and do a subtle fist pump in your basement where you're most likely reading this.)

(Orange Dino - Ross, Blue Dino - Chris, Green Dino - Connor, Little Girl riding Ross - Kyle Boorsma)

Yes, like Luca Geiser, we've been on down time for quite a while, 48 days to be exact, but we are back and have so many words and results and photos and thoughts ready to burst onto the page.

For those of you familiar with Rob Watson's race at the Cross Country Nationals way back in 2010 here in Guelph, you'll understand what we mean when we say, we have faded from the front with this blog. We were front-end loaded at the beginning, writing posts everyday and putting all our best jokes in to keep the viewers interested. Well, as time passed and we matured....neverming, that never happened; however, time did pass and our blogging faded...from the front.

But, just as the Destroyer learned, we will no longer be doing that. We are going to be equally if not more entertaining and we will continue to do so until....well, until we get bored.
Here's a picture Coach DST's daughters drew for our team a couple weeks ago in a lesson to teach us how NOT to FFTF (Fade From The Front). It shows Rob Watson collapsing at the finish line after his epic FFTF and then him sitting on his computer and blogging about it. Classic shot!

By the way, big shoutout to Speed River athlete Rob Watson who will be tearing up the streets of Houston, Texas in his debut marathon this weekend. Good luck!
ps. For those readers not familiar with Watson or his FFTF technique, here is the infamous blog that inspired the above photos. http://leblogdurob.blogspot.com/2010/11/blog-13.html

I'm sure all you lovely readers have been wondering, "Where have my rookie boys been!?" Well, I say to you, we have been around...in many ways, but most importantly we are back with all kinds of good news.

1. Okay, so this is actually bad news, but everyone likes to hear the bad news first, right? One of the reasons (this is going to sound very selfish and arrogant) that our blog FFTF was because those idiots (sorry) at Google decided that the amount of clicks we were receiving on our ads was awfully suspicous and felt that we did not deserve the money we had rightfully earned and thus, they stole..yeah, STOLE our $160.00! Depression turned into anger and we decided that the best way to get back at Google would be to stop blogging... I think it worked....

2. Good news now. The rookie boys have got a house! Yes, Chris, Connor, Ross and Luca have signed a lease for a house next year. Fathers, hide your daughters, (we're across from an elementary school)!
We've got a stellar 3-story, 4-bedroom, 2-bath, huge kitchen/living room, backyard, patio house! Here's a picature.

So, here at the Running Down A Dream headquarters, we promise to continue moving forward with our blog and stay true to our readers. We've missed you!
