See...Eric needs to have the RA graphics on the shirts bigger.... Wink

Ahem...and notice the shirt...

I love the shirt. Are they available to us common folk?

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

Eric's putting the finishing touches on a store that should be ready pretty soon...watch the tabs above for a "Shopping" tab next to the Community tab. Smile

Edited to add stats (I am SO average ): k

Yeah, but think of what you were prior to September of 2003. Wink

You are ANYTHING but average K! Great year my running friend and, you were an early inspiration to me when I first starting logging into this site and still are! Wink

Kirsten--great job! Was up in Newaygo where the temp at 6:00am was 25 degress. Thought of you guys. Glad the wind was calm--that helps. Did you say hello to John?? Joe

I looked for him, but when we were at the expo the only people in the Brooks booth were women...or is there something about John that you aren't telling me...? Wink

BTW, that expo was MUCH bigger this year. The race was 2x as big and the expo looked about that much larger, too. You should run GR next year.... Big grin

Good point! And thanks, Rick. You should come do GR next year, too! Or at least Riverbank Run. That is a really fun event, too! Smile

Thanks...I'm always up for a beer...it's in my Wisconsin blood!

If I'm not mistaken, beer is Wisconsin blood. Tongue

Nice race ZZ!

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

Congrats on your race Kirsten!!! Great race report. Your stats are much better than average - and you're much faster than me. Keep up the good work! And I'm hoping to do a full next year too. Even if I have to quit my job to do it!! Sara

Well done Zoomie, but couldn't you have managed a smile in at least ONE of the pics? Big grin
