The boys... Doc D, Judge and Hillcheck... surprised me last night with the MVG award for the Most Valuable Goon 2008! They did a great job keeping it a secret, I had no idea they had been planning this. We went out together for some beers, just laughing and having fun, then Hill said he had an announcement and gave a heartfelt speech about the award... I thought he was describing Doc or Judge... he talked about the great season of running accomplishments and working so hard in the training... then he announced it was me!! I was stunned and speechless, I have never received such an honor.
I want to sincerely thank you all so much. The Goons are the most thoughtful, wonderful and loyal friends... we laugh and have much fun... plus share such passion for our sport. The fact that all the Goons are talented runners makes me feel even more honored and priviledged to receive the esteemed MVG award. Thanks so much!

Awards given by your own teammates are always the best ones. It is also proof that you don't have to look like a goon to be a good one :)
The Goons are a beautiful bunch including our Goon Dog Bentley !
Congratulations Goatie ! You are one hard working runner.

"Goons are the most thoughtful, wonderful and loyal friends"
Not a phrase I ever thought I would see, but congratulations--no doubt you earned the props.
