I'd really like to join up. Friday will be my day. I'm airport bound Thursday morning. I may need someone to pull me out of bed and down the stairs because over the last three years Thursday night was the "baby deer legs" night for me.
I'll need a room number and a couple of thugs...

I've just got so much going on Saturday. I'm afraid if I do my 10 on Saturday that I won't make it through the show.
I'd love some advice about our Friday 10-mile - I've never run on the trails before.
If we leave the Courtyard Marriott and go to Broad Street and take a right and start running...we should hit the beginning of the trails in about 1.1 mile right? Then, which way do we go on the trails and how far until the trail runs out? I'd love to go out for 5 and back for 5...

What kind of trail is Sandy Creek? I am just wondering since it's so close to downtown. Is it a sidewalk walk/running/biking or a true off road running trail? I don't particularly care which I just want to know if I need to bring my trail or road shoes.

from the Internet pictures it looks like a bike trail - I'm wearing my Asics that I wear to run on the road

My running buddy...he's running his first whole on Saturday Dr. "Magic Hands" Ivanoff - keeps my butt in working order! Fun stuff in the race bag...Elvis sunglasses with sideburns!

Are u going to be on tv, or are u destined for the cutting room floor?
So if the woman in the bottom pic's your mom (at least that's my guess), who's the guy in the next one up?
FYI, the clock in the pic doesn't agree w/ your time [Yes i know, just busting chops]
Personal preference i guess, but i can't imagine running 13 miles w/ long pants on. I think i'd start tossing the oranges back at the folks holding them out along the route (assuming people do that there).
What used to be is gone and what ought to be ought not to be so hard
What time did the ducks post? OK - I'm not sure what this means...
Are u going to be on tv, or are u destined for the cutting room floor? I was interviewed before the race and that is up on facebook - there is a link above this post to that interview. Then, he interviewed me post-race and that will air tonight. If it doesn't end up on the cutting room floor, I will post that, too.
So if the woman in the bottom pic's your mom (at least that's my guess), who's the guy in the next one up? Yep, that's my Mom. and no, that's not my Dad, that's one of the winners - I'm guessing he might be Kenyan.
FYI, the clock in the pic doesn't agree w/ your time [Yes i know, just busting chops] Bust chops all you want BTB - I'm sure you know that when you've got 3,000+ racers, it takes a little while for all of you to get to the starting line. The clock is the time elapsed from when the gun went off, but they also use a computer chip in your shoe - when you run over the electronic mat at the start line and at the finish line, the computer chip records your ACTUAL time, which was 2:21:38 -- I double-checked it with the race officals. Therefore, it took me roughly two minutes before the gun went off and when my foot actually crossed the starting line - cool, huh?

Well - since I've lost almost 165 pounds now, you can guess that my thighs don't look like Mr. Kenya in the picture. I'm just still too self-conscious to wear shorts. I just wear what I'm most comfortable in. I'm always, always cold and even if I did have legs like a supermodel, I think I would just be too dang cold in shorts.

The perversity of the Puritan New England mind is illustrated perfectly by the timing of the Boston Marathon: early spring, so locals have to train through the winter. I admire all who do it, but not so secretly think they're nuts.
