It has been ages since I have posted to any of the forums. I pretty much stopped posting shortly after Cool Running went away. I never stopped running though. In fact, now I run an average of about 40 miles per week. I have set PRs at all race distances in the past year and I qualified for Boston last weekend with a 3:45:24 chip time at Rocket City. I just have little time to do social networking. What little time I have I usually spend on Facebook. A lot of the local runners in Huntsville have all formed a group via both our Track Club and local Fleet Feet store so that's where you'll usually find me. Any of you with Facebook accounts feel free to friend request me. It's an easy way to keep up with fellow runners. My profile is here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=715306881&ref=profile You have to have a FB account and be my friend to see much though. That's primarily just to keep my email address from folks who don't need it. (Spammers) So is this where most all the Boomers wound up in the end or is there still a split between here and Kickrunners or perhaps even a third site? Maybe over the holidays I can catch up a bit.

Hi Tag,It's funny...2 weeks ago I was thinking of you and wondered how you were doing...How is Jen? It's great that you posted...hope to see you soon... We still do the Weekly Run & X-training group...if you're interested?

Tag - hello! Like Gordon, I, too, was thinking about you and Jen recently, wondering where you ended up. Glad that you are still running well and congratulations on your BQ! Lots of the CR gang came here, and some went to Kickrunner. I came here mostly because I liked the log, and the clean interface.

...and the friendly people, right?? Hi, Tag! I know some of the folks on here have mentioned your name! I hope you'll hang around here some. Congrats on your BQ time!! That's awesome. I will never be that fast, so I like living vicariously through all of you speed demons.

Hi Tag! It's good to see you over here and great to hear that your running is going so well. I have a FB account but I don't really check it very often. I really like RA, though I have posted on KR as well. I hope you manage to drop in more often and post.

Hi Tag - great to see you again. Glad to hear your running has been going so well.

Yes, the people here were always great. That isn't why I stopped posting. I just had/have a hard time keeping up with what everyone is doing, especially since all the CR folks split over two forums. Let's see... Jen (Caverjen) is still doing fine. She still runs and still puts up with me. She has actually diversified and become a Tri-Girl, too participating in two Triathlons so far. The kids are also fine. I have been on a PR roll lately. Besides the marathon I had a 1:41 Half, a 1:11 15K, 46:46 10K, and 21:54 5K in recent weeks. I also ran a 5:40 50K Trail Run on the mountains. I have two more 50K trail runs planned in the next 6 weeks. One is New Year's Eve and the other in late January (Mtn Mist). Then it will be time to fine tune for Boston. Thanks for the warm welcome. It will be a few days before I get off for Christmas. Then I should have more time to do some catching up by reading through some of the posts...

Hi, tag! Good to see you again. Congratulations on your BQ -- will you be able to run Boston this year? If so, I hope our paths cross there.

We should definitely have a keg with us -- I don't think we'll be setting up a party this year, but the beer will be available -- we just need to find a suitable venue.
