    If this happened to you, what would you do? I completed a random run through my neighborhood and when I got home I loaded the run on the RA map and came up with 6.66 miles. What would you do? A. Forget about it. B. Cheat and add one tenth of a mile. C. Put your running shoes back on and run arond the block.

      Maybe I'm missing something, but is it that you don't think it's actually 6.66 mile? Or is that you don't like the idea of a run being three sixes? I don't use the RA map, but rather, I depend on my Garmin. If my Garmin gave me a distance of 6.66 miles, then that's what I log. I would never do option "C" I would never do option "B" in that I don't fudge my distances.....the only person you would be cheating in yourself.

        A. Forget about it. There are some biblical scholars who believe that 666 was a mistranslation and that it should actually be 616. Due to the 616 area code, this would make the entire western half of Lower Michigan a dominion of evil. You folks *cough* zoom *cough* zoom *cough* know who you are.

        When you're on your deathbed, you won't be wishing that you'd spent more time at the office.  But you will be wishing that you'd spent more time running.  Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

          Or... D. Just accept the fact that you are the spawn of Satan.

          Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.

           

          When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

            My area code is 231--but Andrea's is 616. This explains much. Big grin k

              Man, I hate area code changes. Sometime since I moved from MI in '93 my hometown changed from 517 to 989; I'm still bitter.

                  Growing up my area code in WI was 414, like most of WI. Now it is 920. I hate that when I call my folks I have to dial some "foreign" number... Sad k

                    Yeah, 989 makes me felling like I'm dialing a number that I shouldn't be calling... Clowning around

                      I bet if you remap it, or redraw a corner or two you could easily make it 6.65 of 6.67. Tongue

                              Last year I picked up a bib for a race on June 6 (date: 6-6-06). My bib number was 667. I honestly think I would have skipped the race if my bib number was one lower.
