But if I had a blog, I would probably end up writing about my menstrual cycle, and those type of accidents while running. You know, "Is anyone looking at my ass?" moments.

She's 42 and I'm 51, so I ran just a wee bit slower than you. Okay, a lot slower than you. (I wrote about our day. Click on over for details.) <BR/><BR/>Love your blog and the photos of the kids.

I had NO idea that you stared the career in the 9 hour realm and now you're talking about top 10 finishes, patches being sown on jackets and not pee'ing an entire run! There's hope for me yet! OK, no chance I'm going to be able to pull off the word verification below, hopefully I'll get one eventually and this will make it up :-) <BR/><BR/>TonyTony Overbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639919141230897359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942366064716917702.post-53784945589591061482008-04-12T19:50:00.000-07:002008-04-12T19:50:00.000-07:00Well, congratulations again, Mark!

I loved reading the report-you have a very unique and entertaining style of writing that I can't hope to match.<BR/><BR/>I had, indeed, caught the hint last October but what with my recent improvements had come to the same conclusion. You still beat me by quite a bit though!<BR/><BR/>I'll try to run with you for part of RA (although I realize you might not want to run for 25+ with some teenager breathing down your neck) but I'm going to be very disciplined in that I am not allowed to go faster than 7:00/mile.<BR/><BR/>See you then!Michael Kanninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00709345414724122471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942366064716917702.post-81420764164346913012008-04-11T21:41:00.000-07:002008-04-11T21:41:00.000-07:00Thanks for all the nice comments.
