I'm pooped, just reading that.

No bike pics unfortunately (the kid was getting really bored and acting up), but Red did get an unflattering one of me running . . . The fact that I am smiling at this point tells you I am insane. I think this stuff is fun!

xoxoxoBruce · 07-15-2008, 11:34 AM

Unflattering? You look maaaavelous.

The bike pad in my tri shorts is giving me an artifical camel toe in the sunlight

xoxoxoBruce · 07-15-2008, 11:40 AM

Artificial?

Sundae · 07-15-2008, 11:47 AM

Yay Labrat!
Please do show the professional pics when done.

Of course I think you're mad. But I madly admire it too.

Well done Chica!

See!! You are never too old to start!!

Shawnee123 · 10-10-2008, 01:23 PM

What is it with me? I read these things and start to get fired up and think "YEAH, I can do that!" but I never do. I was in track in HS, in fact our 2-mile relay team (still called that back then, hadn't fully gone to metric yet) held the school record for almost 20 years and I've always loved the feeling...so why do I only think about it now?

One of these days your inspiration will get through to me, Labrat, and I will be able to post progress.

In the meantime, I am a lazy dumbass.

Cool. What are the details again?

Pico and ME · 10-13-2008, 08:04 AM

Shawnee, start with just walking. Everyday get in a little walk. If running was in your past, pretty soon your body will want to ramp it up.

LabRat · 10-13-2008, 12:34 PM

Link to official race page here. Thread about it here.

Does my ratsense detect a hint of interest? please oh please

Because this is the 30th year, they are giving out finishers medals. . . I bet they are gonna be really really cooooooooool too!
