What's up what's up yall! Running Down a Dream here and we've got some great updates on the happenings of your favourite Guelph rookies to let you in on. With just over a month left as rookies at UoG it feels like time is flying by these days with school and running and girls and #winning occupying all of our time. Yeah, thats right, we've been #winning a lot lately.

Allow me to elaborate...

#winning
We want to thank everyone who helped out in liking our video on youtube, because WE WON! $500 is a sweet prize and we are definitely going to be spending it with the intention of increasing the party potential of our new house. Sound system, Tv, shamwows, enough said. Our house will be bomb.

Also, in keeping with our promise, anyone who liked our video on youtube is free to party with us next year/crash at our house for a few nights provided you have a signed screenshot of your 'like' on youtube. No exceptions. Yes, even you DST.

google images never fail; #winning
10000 is a lot. It's number of connections each neurone has to other neurones in the brain. It's the age of Charlie Sheen's brain according to him. It's the record Bekele holds in 26:17.53. It's the number of views RDAD has received since its launch on Nov. 23, 2010.

Holy crap guys. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see what we're talking about, all the way down. That number, yeah, that's views. Yeah it's sweet. We all started this blog with the intentions of just throwing up some stupid stuff for our friends to see, with a little bit of running stuff inbetween, but we didn't think it would be so well received. I've got to admit, we were in it for the money at one point (see: "Click On The Ads" chant at XC Nat's Afterparty) but now that we're just writing for fun again, its cool to see people coming back to read what we're up to. We'll keep it going if people keep reading.

jealousy does not begin to describe it. proudfoot is #winning

In other news, Ross is in Spain. Prolly bro'ing out on the beach. Throwing disc and stuff. Breaking hearts of Spanish girls, the usual. He's also running World XC's, hoping to keep his stellar season going in what Bairu calls the Super Bowl of distance running. Good luck boys and girls, shout outs to Genest, D. Snides, Carise and Emily who also are gearing up to take on the world.

Closer to home, the hunger for speed and the taste of rubber brought us to St. James this week for some solid 400s to bookend our tempo sesh. Ripping it us (except not) on the track has really gotten us excited here for the outdoor season which is coming up fast. It's almost April, which is almost May which is almost June. Pan Am Jr's anyone? I really want to see that new Harry Potter Theme Park in Florida. Big motivator.

Other than that, we're just trying to get through school and avoid thinking of finals for at least another 3 weeks. At least that means we'll all be on likealittle again.
