What is this? http://www.teambluemonkey.com/

It is clearly explained on the website.... In the beginning there were many brown monkeys in the jungle. Moshi, though, was somehow different, unsatisfied. He left to become a wandering monkey, to find true peace/enlightnenment. And in his wanderings, sharing what enlightenment he had found. At first in his wanderings, Moshi trys rigorous self-discipline, and his mind became clearer as his body waned. He lived on nauseus foods, let dirt/filth accumulate and became exccesively thin. This discipline was not easily kept up, and there were many periods of backsliding. Eventually, though, his thinking did become more clear. And suddenly, the answer came. Inability to experience release was due to desire being constantly and painfully thwarted. The god of desire (the Evil One (the red lizard)), tempted him to give up his quest and succumb to pleasure. But the deadly missiles hurled by the evil one entered Moshi's consciousness as sprays of banannas. Defeated, the Evil One fled. Shortly thereafter, enlightenment came. It was a higher form of consciousness, free of desire and its attendant pain. Purged of wrong states of mind, he became "The Blue Monkey", his outward appearance showing his inward enlightenment. Moshi then had to decide what to do with his enlightenment. He could remain "the one enlightened blue monkey", or, as he chose, to communicate this enlightenment and truth to others, thus spawining more blue monkeys (Bodhisattvas).

4 hours? Slowing down? Hey, so over on the maniacs race calendar, there are several maniacs who say they are gonna monkey, but who have not registered...any thoughts on that one?

Procrastinators, probably. Your post on the MM forum should push them along. (I modified my last post to add that I'm in wait-and-see mode to see how my right foot holds up in the Crater Lake Marathon on Saturday).

Done. I've really been looking forward to Crater Lake, talk about your tough course, hills, and scenery. Hope this stupid foot behaves. BTW when is the write-up on the Monkey appearing in M&B?

OK, registration for The Harpeth Hills Flying Monkey Marathon has been open for four days now, and not a peep about it from Trent. We're worried about you, Trent, are you OK?

There are about 2 spots remaining...
