To paraphrase an old poster: Today is the first day of the rest of your training. It doesn’t matter where you started or how far you’ve come. Today is the day. Your training didn’t start 6 weeks ago.

I'm with Scout on this one. While you should never tell a bareface lie to your missus, being economical with the truth until it's too late to do anything about it is almost compulsory !! And Bearpoop sounds like a good forum name to me

ahhhh yesss...... the LIE of omission! Know it well
I agree about the screen name. Is there any way to change it?
ahhhh yesss...... the LIE of omission! Know it well Me: "Hun, I'm going to run in the mountains while I'm out in Southern California" Her: "You're not planning on going by yourself, ARE YOU?" Me: "I talked to another runner about meeting me there" (unspoken, "but he can't make it"). Her: "OK, you guys be careful" Me: (unspoken: "it's a night run in bear/mountain lion country and I'll have a summer sausage and crackers in my pack") ..Forgive me, Lord... "Tim Treadwell, the bear guy eaten in Alaska in 2003 was distantly related to me on my mom's side." - yes, but could YOU outrun Tim??? Lynn B
...love what you've done with your name. Another forum I frequent is focused on trail running and a petite, female friend from N Calif in the mountains goes by the name Cougarsnack.
