No way will I vote for.....

Maris Stella Yacht Club and Crabbing and Running and Barbie Society

Oh do my legs ache today. Walk it off. Walk it off.

i was just going to suggest that we vote on a name change to "and running society" when i noticed ross already took care of that. still no input from stu -- he told me (on the phone) that he was worried about viruses... and spending his time playing barbie with lauren. he pretends barbie is frankenstein. that's the way boys play barbie. congrats, ross!! we will look great on the loveladies-barney-loveladies. tomorrow is the roslindale trick or treat trot (5k). i think i may do it since it starts right down the street.

Maris Stella Yacht Club and Crabbing and Running Society

It was only a 5K but the important thing is that not only did I run it but I also have decided to keep running on a regular basis. So, summer 2004, a new-old runner will be sweating the Loveladies-Barney-loveladies trip. I met all my goals. I was a little concerned about the heart attack part since no training put some stress on the myocardial system but actually after 2Ks my breathing adjusted and it was just a matter of coping with leg muscle pain. The nice butt 10 meters ahead of me was just the inspiration I needed to keep going when the going got tough. But unfortunately she quit at about 4k and I had to go it alone to the finish. Someone passed me at about 1/2 K to go and I actually had enough to pass him back and we raced to the finish. We passed a few others and it felt great to finish strong. Probably only 400 or 500 runners finished before me. That means I finished in front of 800 or 900. Next year I'm going to win my age group! The Chancellor beat me by 6 minutes. My time? Hey, give me a break.

"He apparently had some personal problems we didn't know about — money problems, he was a little depressed, my parents moved away and stuff like that" said his brother...

This just in... a man survives plunge over Niagra Falls "with only the shirt on his back." No one has ever done this before. Ross

Friday is the UCSD annual Chancellor's Challenge 5k run. Finish before the Chancellor and he will donate $25 toward undergraduate scholarships and you get the respect of other runners. I ran 2 years ago and finished well behind the C. Although he is about 60 years he is a good runner. Suddenly I wish I wasn't so lazy on LBI. If I had trained with Linda and Dave on the Loveladies to Lighthouse to Loveladies runs I might have a shot. Instead I am fat and slow. My goals: to get a little exercise, to finish, to not throw up, to not have a heart attack, to meet some women, to set a time that I might better next year, to meet a woman, to not throw up, to get a fancy new t shirt, to get out of work for a few hours, and to not throw up.
