Dog-Love
Thought I would post an article on our formerly-local runner Geoff Roes' effort in the Iditorod Trail Run. This is a 365 run bike or ski race that follows the Iditorod Trail. Its a long article go grab a cup of coffee or a beer. Makes me want to stick to my comfy 10Ks.

Geoff Roes? Some unknown guy? Has he even ever run anything as long as a marathon or longer, before?
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
He is running a local 50k tomorrow. I am working an aid station (for smalcolm, who is the big cheese. Of the aid station. Not the race. Settle down.)
I will try to get his autograph.

I do not even think he made 4 mph in that race ~ Is a hiker?
I am fuller bodied than Dopplebock
Thanks Crabby! I was reading his trail diary with photos and video clips of his endeavor just last night with great interest. IMO quite a courageous endeavor.
Don't make excuses for why you can't get it done.
Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.
Not really. But in my defense, I have not caught an opportunity to watch Unbreakable. In which I think he may get an appearance. Or two.

Thanks for that, I'm a big fan, he's an amazing athlete and seems like a really humble guy.

Never mind me. I was just about to go on a lil rant about Unbreakable.

I was coming in to make a joke about the Bruce Willis version.
Shouldn't you be getting some shut eye so you can be at your bottle-filling best tomorrow? Jenn Shelton expects you to be on your A-game.
The excitement is keeping me awake.
What is she gonna wear???
What if I dump heed on Hal's beard?
(BTW, it looks like Mr Roes won't be running)
It will melt the beard. Stuff is that nasty. (That's not stopping all the races I am doing this year from using it.)
Dump it on his capris.

Huh? And, heed??
I made up the heed bit. I have no idea what drink is served at chuckanut.
