Heresy!

You were right for about 15 minutes, but now it's retro, so it's new again. Clowning around

DaddyO, I just wanted to comment on your tagline. To me, the training process for a marathon is the peak of physical and emotional preparedness. When the taper starts, I often lose sight of the excitement of the event itself and I'm planning "life after" the marathon. I even had 2 instances where I registered, trained, and decided not to run the marathon. Naturally a big race in a fancy place or when a forum gathering is planned, keeps it's excitement but still, the training is where I get my thrills. Great tagline and one that's most appreciated and understood by marathoners.

At the end of the day, be happy with where you are and what you've accomplished.

Daddyo I totally agree with what Ray said, your tagline is spot on! For me it is all about the training and consistency, the race itself is just icing on the cake! Now what the heck is HTFU???

Or just click my siggie. It's definitely not work-safe, my hero Chopper drops the F bomb like Mississippi changes her avatar.

Nah, there are still those who haven't heard the gospel of Saint Chopper (ducking and running, calling Chopper a saint could bring about an indoor lightning storm...) When I responded to a friend's emailed political comment yesterday, he got all pissy and offended. It's a nice easy cut and paste reply, a video is worth a thousand words.
