Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

Twice now I have traveled to meet online friends and both times it was an absolute riot (the last time I did this was last Aug...the photo of me with my butt hanging out of a window is from that trip to LA). I would find a way to an RA gathering in a heartbeat! k
...as I am the odd single person...if you have a cool running female friend...I am always open to meeting new peeps!!!
Not to toot my own horn...or our collective horns...but, I do think we are a nice bunch! I think runners understand life in a unique way...we know what it takes to make a commitment, we understand that some run at a five minute mile and some run at a 12 minute mile and we are okay with that. We are always open to new ideas about training and life. We know what it is like to use a porta potty in the freezing cold at 5am without complaining. We know that with running (as with life) there comes pain and joy and an occasional tearing of tissue...and we accept it. We welcome others into our fraternity with open arms and forgive quickly when they make mistakes. I could go on....but, we are pretty special....
I've got a fever...
I was thinking something near Lake MI
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
The Big Water, drinking, and me do not mix. Lost a pair of glasses in the lake near Grand Haven, and I had to force contact lenses into my incredibly red and hungover eyes the next morning. (It was either that or not see -- I'm extremely nearsighted).
Jeff, are you sure you aren't my brother? You remind me a LOT of that dork...beer-lovin', nearsided, loser of important things, diverse tastes in music...
