Runner Muffins

Oh, do you know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man,
Oh, do you know the muffin man,
Who lives in Haslett?

The Runner Muffin recipe that Coach Campa and his family started dishing out to the runners a few years ago is still a huge hit among hungry runners. I don't think these muffins will ever get old. Actually I just finished one. I think a couple crumbs are lodged in my keyboard... no big deal. I'll just have another one.

And what about the picture? Ask Mr. Stanko about the Pink Gorilla.
