Lifted from RLK's post on RWOL
In 2013, dad said: "I put 3:20 and beyond in the title because 3:20 is more than a goal. It's a mindset and just the start. Many have used this thread's predecessors as their launching point for exploits way beyond sub 3:20. Our alumni have run multiple sub 3s and a bunch of ultras up to the WS100 Tahoe 200; we have members who <del>are going for</del> have gotten Moose Mugs and are going for shorter distance PRs."
We have a few guidelines:
- Everyone is welcome - new timers, old timers, old timers flitting through for a brief cameo, new timers flitting through for one question and then never to be seen again. Well, everyone starts out welcome...
- We are usually nice to each other. When one of us needs to be taken down a notch, try to keep the throat punches down to the bare minimum required to get the job done.
- Try to post your training on a weekly basis. We're all here to learn from and help each other.
- Ilana likes capital letters, but we respect freedom of speech and typing style.
- Sometimes you will see strange terms like TURD, BOTT, Botswana / Brezhnev / Biddeford / etc ... one must earn the right to ask what those things mean! Context helps, too.

I will add a note and say that if all you do is come to dump your training logs and ask questions but never interact with anyone else about theitr training/life, you can see yourself out
eliz- yes! I'm attaching the gdoc that we set up at the beginning of the calendar year...https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oUunNjGeTpeJXRJtW0GCjryhBw_9sfVGRMnl4U_N1KY/edit?usp=sharing
I have it set as "anyone with the link can edit", because I did a terrible job of upkeeping it throughout the year. Let me know if you think that's not a good idea.

RLK - I don't see a big issue with having the file open, especially if things are kept in order by date. Pretty much everyone here is going to be a transplant from our RWOL thread, who should already respect it. I've added my info for the year.

i will take rlk's advice and not dump training logs or ask for advice, since life is too busy to be a regular contributor right now. but...i may lurk. if it creeps you out, give me the boot!
oh, and all hail the new thread dictator!
