Man Up (v.)- Although we did not invent this, it has become a common motivator/convincer. Originally contrived at State XC 2003, it is a synonym for phrases such as "buck up" and "toughen up". It isn't really a term designed only for men (considering i've told my sister this a few times). It has evovolved into primarily a counter to excuses given by DK, but still retains its original meaning.
"The Old Lady" (n.)- The female senior citizen who, in a legendary battle, outkicked DK at The Ramble of '03. DK maintains to this day that she doesnt exist, but if you check the results, you will clearly find a woman over three times the age of young Kindra a few spots ahead of him.
Weak Sauce (adj. or n.) - Used to describe any of a number of pitiful or stupid situations, actions, etc. that MGRC and DGN runners have found themselves involved in.
Gaurana Seed - A suplement intended to increase energy, extracted from a seed and taken in pill form. Similar effects of caffiene exact magnified significantly. One MGRC runner felt the ill effects of this particular product, and to this day (as far as we know) has not attempted to harnesses its power since.
Donner Dash (n.) - A one mile kids' race that was attatched to The Ramble '03 that one member of the MGRC found himself eligible for (the age limit was 14). Needless to say, his performance was filled with the downward pump as he lapped the field (in a two lap race) and won by over two minutes in what has become known as one of the biggest mockeries in MGRC history.
Barn Burner (n.) - A fairly new term. Used to describe a high intensity workout. Invented by MG has he did hills right next to a corn field.

Kindra Pace - A legendary measurement of the speed of a run. Synonomous with a very very slow pace, almost too slow to actually be considered running. When tapering for big meets, a Kindra pace would often be enacted in which DK was put in charge of leading the pack and setting the pace. As time went on Kindra pace became faster, culmminating in a "Kindra Pace" quarter in 64 seconds. Nonetheless, it still means a very slow, oafish pace.
Ya Ya - A term passed down through history in the DGN running circle that refers to a slower version of a speed repeat, always on the first one. Many other terms are similar to this (flamingo, mitsu, etc)
Bahelors' Grove - Has absolutely nothing to do with running except we want to run here some day and almost every member of the MGRC has expressed interest in going here. No, it's not a strip club (although it sounds like it should be one). It's the 2nd "most haunted" place in the U.S.A., a deserted cemetary in a forrest in Midlothian, IL. Numberous unsuccessful attempts (including one time when we got a b.s. $30 parking ticket) have been made to get in after dark. It'll be awesome when we finally get in.
