You are all clearly nuts. I feel like I've come home.

Well, you passed the initial test. You haven't gone running from the site screaming, and your head hasn't exploded (yet....).
Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

i think i've learned nothing from running...in fact i've unlearned a lot of things to make room for the intellectual discussions going on in the 2000 Miles club.

First of all Mark: there's only one word for how you look in that outfit -- fabulous! I like your blog, too. Good luck with the foot injury. I'm gonna try to steer back on-topic here (not that I don't find the running skirt discussion captivating). Lessons learned from running: 1) Bring a roll of toilet paper to the race. 2) Carry toilet paper on long runs 3) Try to run near businesses and/or friend's houses where you know you can use the facilities. 4) Run near wooded areas where you can duck in and not be seen from the road, if necessary. Hmm, kind of see a theme developing here. I'll change it up by saying: 5) Aim high, dream big, and set challenging goals. But make sure they're attainable. Unrealistic goals can set you up for failure/disappointment. 6) A mile is not nearly as far as it sounded when you were a kid. 7) Making a schedule/plan is a strong motivator towards seeing things through, in running as well as in life. 8) The sense of achievement after a great race is almost unmatched in life.

Speaking of which, In the end, I was proud of the money we raised. I'm guessing it was around $5000 although I am not certain because we made it very informal - people were encouraged to donate to their favorite charity and informally report back.
