I said I'm not running a fall marathon and I intend to stand by that. So, I'm running a 50K instead. Nads will be there. Come on over and run laps with us.

Definitely want to stop in if time permits.

How smart is you?

Definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

With five people in this group signed up for the same race I think I'm compelled to ask: what's the deal with the Flying Monkey Marathon? Do all of you just live relatively close to Nashville or is the race just that good of an experience?

Trent, who pops in here from time to time between logging 1500+ unique beers with no repeats, is the race director. Monkey is essentially an RA get-together although participation is of course not limited to RA.

MTA: Besides, I hear it is a hell of a party.
