Awesome job Buckshot! You deserve it after the heart-breaker at Detroit. And...better at Athens than the 26-lapper on a 1-mile service road you were planning on doing. Even if you have to wait until next year to run it. I'm hoping to be at Boston '08 with you.

Big Waytogo on your BQ. I hope to join you some day. My BQ time for 2008 is 3:30 but for 2009 is 3:35. I'd have to cut 10 minutes off my PR. Have a great time!

Congrats on qualifying. It's a special feeling to qualify and its even better to line up in Hopkinton in a coral with a thousand others who had to earn their way there too. Enjoy it!

Runners run.

Hey Mishka - I know you'll make it. With all the cardio you've been doing on the bike and in the pool, you're probably in great shape and going to make Boston easily; just stay healthy. I see you're running again too and that's a good thing. Maybe we'll cross trails at Oak Openings or Wildwood.

PerfessrR - I cut about 14 minutes off my first marathon, so you can too.

I will, but hope I don't get pissed on...

There's nothing like getting pissed on to really get you pissed off.
