    Hi all, There are a lot of people I dont know here. (OK, I admit, I have never met anyone here....) So I think it would be fun if we went around and stated a random fact about ourselves. Tight lipped I am a self-declared Altaholic. That is, I am addicted to skiing at Alta. I hear recovery is only achieved by doing it more. Big grin

            I just found this group and I decided to join up! I'm Ayola, I'm a 35 yo woman living in coastal Maine, I restarted running about a year and a half ago and I've dropped about 15 pounds (10 more to go). I think I'm going to try the Camden 10K in June. I'm totally overloaded with odd hobbies, but my favorite is curling. www.usacurl.org A

              This is pretty cool! I love all the stuff I am learning. I guess I should play fair and include some "facts" that are less goofy and more introductory about me. I am Abigail, 26 year old medical student currently stuck I mean living in Nashville, TN. I hate when stuff like work (on-call, exams, pts coming in late) gets in the way of running - especially races I had wanted to do. I think they should plan our schedules around my running plans. Tongue Casper - I love the photo! I think it is hysterical! I never got up the guts to busk, so kudos to you. (I also double-majored with math....totally dont miss it now!) Kim - can you tell us more about Kayak Polo? Is that like regular polo but in kayaks rather than on ponies? Vicki - I totally appreciate your doing search and rescue! While I hope no one I know or love ever needs you guys, I am so grateful you are there if we ever do! It sounds really exciting, also! Hi Ayola! Maine sounds so beautiful! I spent a day sea-kayaking there a while ago on a trip to visit my little sister at camp and I really loved the coast! Do you have a curling group there?

                So, yeah, that's pretty much it. If you want to take a look, check out: http://www.usack.org/disciplines/polo/polo_desc.asp Kimmer

                  I'm Trixiee, a 46 yo wife of a farmer and mom of two grown up boys. We live in Canada. It was 19 degrees F on my run this morning, but the sun was shining and I loved every minute of it! Going down to Florida next week to run the Miami Half! Big grin I've been running for about 6 years now, and haven't yet broken the 1000K barrier... always end up around 950 K, or so. In the summer, I love doing Duathlons. I won't say I compete in them, as I'm much too slow! But I do have a lot of fun!

                    I am Bear_Poop. see:http://www.runningahead.com/forums/topic/6752893f8162408ea6ae7223a6ab5f9b to find out why. I have been running since July for health reason (high blood pressue and diabeates) and I am hooked. Currently training for the Indy Mini (HM) in May. I walked it last year in 3:40:05. I'd be happy to take off and hour this year.
                    To paraphrase an old poster: Today is the first day of the rest of your training. It doesn’t matter where you started or how far you’ve come. Today is the day. Your training didn’t start 6 weeks ago. Your training started the last time you hit the road. John “the Penguin” Bingham Life is not tried, it is merely survived if you're standing outside the fire

                      I was also registered to run this, but had to stop training around Thanksgiving with a stress fracture in my right foot. I'm finally off crutches and cast so I hope to start recovery runs soon. That's why I don't have any milage on here yet, but over the summer I am planning several triathlons and a 12.5 mile beach race so I'm pretty sure I'll catch up to that PB as I get back into it. Trixiee, good luck! It is beautiful here- 80 and sunny Cool Maybe next year I'll see you at the full??

                        Hi, I'm Ed and I brew beer. I am between batches at the moment, but I think I am going to try a German style wheat beer like a Hacker-Pschorr or a Paulaner Hefe Weitzen. Something yummy that would go well with a slice of lemon for when I am carb loading.

                          Dear abbaroodle et al, Ah, just back to work after a nap. Yes, there's a curling club in Belfast, Maine (the one and only here in the state) I'll post a picture as soon as I load some new images onto the new computer. Good running A

                              Hi all, I'm Erin and from Boston. I'm 30 and I started back running after an eight year haitus last April. I'm in a running group and un 4-5 miles a few days a week, but after tax season (yep, I'm an accountant) I'm going to increase my mileage and train for a half marathon in the fall. Not sure which one yet.... Other than that, I love sports, play in a touch football league and like trying different sports. -Erin
