You know I love you, dude. I think the striders should organize a race like this one.

I don't know man...you haven't been running with me lately. I even called you for a date lunch the other day. I feel no love.

Okay, no it's not too late for me to change my mind although i've cancelled on Catie like 50 times the past couple of months. She really wanted to run it...her and I did it before she ran NYC and I ran Vegas. She ran a 3:35 in NYC. Then again maybe she could have ran a 3:25 if she hadn't of ran it, right? I'll do the Radnor Lake loop. Or whatever it is. You boobs like... control my life now.

Hey, you just got lots of folks in your corner that want to see you do well! Could be worse right...I mean we all love watching Trent continue to never PR. It's cool!

So anyway, i'm supposed to give 12 free massages for my class by next Thursday. I think I need at least 6 or 7 more people to give them to... so yea, if you want one let me know.

Yes. Give it to Me.

All I'm trying to say is that doing 11.2 x 2 is pretty much putting your body through a marathon. You'll need time to recover, and it's not the best thing in leading up to a marathon race. Now for someone like Casa, or Chuck Engle , who runs a marathon like every other week....that's a different story. Course even the mighty CE got injured both times shortly after doing the monkey.

I'm glad this discussion got settled before I checked in. Thanks for bringing it to light, Thunder. I never really gave it much thought, but I suppose it could be an abusive run before a thon. But, if I can use it as an excuse for my Cowtown Performance 10 days later, then I blame the 11.2 double. But, I won't give Trent and JK the satisfaction of thinking that our run that day is what broke me.

Who?

give 'em to me.

I'll let you know if someone drops out.

More importantly, do you like monkeys?

JK, there is a chance Striders will cancel the run. You know, if we get 2 inches of scary snow. If they do, you still wanna go for it? Oh, and this. More importantly, do you like monkeys?

Yes. Snow or no snow. I will forgo the beer. Since I have that now. Call me. Phone me. Text me. If the Striders cancel because of a couple inches of rain, I cannot join them. The shame is too much. Yes. Yes, I adore monkeys.

Pssh... i'll be there. .... cause I like Monkeys.

Do you like monkeys?

What does that mean? I can't figure it out any more. Some days, I'm not a real runner. Some days, I'm an elitist prick. It's all so confusing. Thank God for monkeys.

True Runner? They are the ones who bring their running shoes to church because they think they might be able to get in a few laps around the block before the sermon ends.
