    Sounds good! Wait... $7 for coffee? Or is there alcohol in it? I'm a grad student so that will be my big splurge for the week Smile It will be fun to meet some RA folks! Thanks!

      It's really special coffee Wink (shhh! has irish whiskey...just a wee drop or two thoguh) Don't worry, I'll happily treat a grad student for a post race celebration. Perfesser will pick up a round of ANchor Steam's after that Clowning around

        I'm running the Lincoln (NE) marathon on May 4th. It'll be my first, so I'm just hoping to finish around 4 hours. I think it's possible, but I'll know more about the pace I'll try and run once I get farther into the program. I'm also excited because I'll be running with my dad, who started running about a year ago. Look forward to chatting with all of you!

          I just got volunteered! OK, If I make it out there, I'll do that. BTW Katie H, you wouldn't be Katie Holmes, would you? Just wondering Wink

              ha ha ha! No- I'm not Katie Holmes but I can beat her in a marathon! She may have a trillion more dollars than me (and mental problems) but I could beat her in a race, which is all that really matters Wink Thanks for the drink offers (coerced or not)! You guys are funny Smile Good luck in NE HuskerB- that's cool that you're running with your Dad!

                I'll take sanity and poverty over a trillion dollars anyday. No, wait, scratch that.

                Go Pre!

                  Tuf / Dave, you out there? We switched our plans and will be doing Ottawa again this year. A bunch of ruuners from our group are going and we got caught u in the excitement - although we haven't signed up for either yet. We may still see you for the Mississauga half as a practice race for Ottawa. At the moment, we are also tentatively planning the Nike Women's Marathon in the Fall (Tiffany's Necklaces for all finishers!) - The mrs and a couple f friends are running and yes, men are allowed to enter so, when in Rome, er, San Fran...Smile Dave


                  still alive

                    Right now I've started training for the Fargo marathon in May. Still looking for some half marathons and a fall marathon. Need to find one that is easy to get to without interfering with work.

                          That's it. Make sure to visit the "gift shop" - it's basically a walk-in closet.

                            I am registered for the Eugene Marathon, May 4, my birthday! Unfortunately, injuries may prevent me from running. My PT keeps saying "maybe you'll just be a half-marathoner". Oh. Every time she says that I get depressed!
