First running shoes I bought were Sauconys and now I'm back in them again. I LOVE the brand. My real name is Joni so instead of the "ony" at the end of Saucony, I subbed "oni". I probably should have stopped there but somehow I mangled it up with Sock. But then, it's about running, we wear socks, so it all falls into place.  |

My name is from The Simpsons. In an episode called "Duffless" back in season four. The dialogue:
Lisa: I want the most intelligent hamster you've got.
Clerk: OK.
[reaches into a box of hamsters under the counter and randomly selects one]
Uh, this little guy writes mysteries under the name of J. D. McGregor.
Lisa: How can a hamster write mysteries?
Clerk: Well, he gets the ending first, then he writes backward.
Lisa: Aw, C'mon.
Clerk: Look, kid, just take him before his mother eats him, all right?

I'm Kooky. I used to go by the name Cookie Cheapdate but Kooky suited me more.
2003 is the date I started...
Never mind. |

Mine has nothing to do with where I live. One of my daughter's friends was being polite by addressing me as Mrs. and she pronounced my last name wrong and it came out sounding like Mrs. Sippy.
Of course my family got a few laughs out of calling me by every state in the US for about a week or so.  |

In 2003 I joined a local club team called Run to Win. Seemed like a good name, managed to grab the domain name a year or so after that, started a website, it got popular, so I started a business by the name. When I signed up here a bit over a year ago I didn't realize that there were forums and didn't even come over here until the summer or so? But haven't changed my login name so it stayed as Run to Win.
My real name is Blaine Moore, which should be pretty obvious given that it is right below my picture. |

I just started using Twitter - anybody else on there? http://twitter.com/BlaineMoore

| My mom came up with it about 20 years ago when I had to make up a bunch of names for a fantasy baseball team me and my friends were creating. She thought it sounded tough and I made him my closer. This was several years before I started running, but I still think it sounds tough. |

Lets see... I think about running and racing a lot, and I'm also kind of crazy, so I guess it has dual meanings. That and I'm really bad at picking screen names.  |

Mine was simplistic because I'm lazy sometimes. I live in Havana - a north Florida metropolis of approximately 2-3,000 residents - but only 15 miles from a much larger city. The main street here really is "Main St.", there are only two traffic lights in town, one small grocery store, and lots of art & antique shops. The new Burger King opened just a few months ago (hey, we've had a Subway for years!).

And it remains the single best screenname in RA history. Which has been noted a time or two, although you probably missed it.
