Wow, I've never had my own thread before.  I'm starting to tear up.

I was going to post this Sunday morning (based on past experience I will be awake playing the "did my alarm forget to go off" game), but it doesn't look like I'll have internet access.  Just wanted to say thank you to the whole group:

• Thanks for giving me a goal that seemed reachable, but still a stretch
• Thanks for giving me a place to vent.  I suppose a private journal would do the same thing, but its so much more fun to share.
• Thanks for inspiring me with your results and race reports.
• Most of all, thanks for sharing your day-to-day experiences so I could see that everyone has their good days and bad days, that everyone is wrestling with the weather, their bodies, their real lives.

At worst, I'll post a report Monday evening when I get back home. 

Thanks again, all.

Brian
