Note to self:  follow curegirl around and keep your eyes on the cooler

not sure how useful is it but I have a parking badge for entering Compuware parking structure.  You guys are welcome to borrow it.

})i({RunnerGirl - 2009-03-11 3:59 PM I will be running this race with Mike, so we will be taking it slow but fun! I hope to see some of you guys around - I will have pigtails and green ribbons maybe even a green hat. I may just suprise everyone and go as a pot o' gold.

I haven't been running much. If you are taking it slow, I will be somewhere behind you, slower. I'll search for the pot o' gold. You could make your tiara green and wear it.

K and I are planning on running slow and easy and enjoying the day

Jo and Jenn I'll PM you cell phone # so we can meet up.

Hey the hubster and I plan to be there running slow and easy.  I'll PM you guys as well so we can hook up!

It's a loooong run from Compuware to Corktown...but I guess, if your hard core, you could use that as your race warm up.

I, like many of you it sounds, will be taking this race slooow....trying not to kill myself before I can enjoy the festivities.  Hopefully we can find each other down there!  I'm really starting to look forward to this now...

Are there people that do this thing fast?  How in the hell do you run fast and not spill your beer???

A friend doing Corktown shared with me that all his talk about beer and running was lip service. I'm having a Bridgette Jones moment.

Am I going to show up at this party and be the only one with a beer?

Lets have some honesty here, who is actually running with beer or are we running for beer? 

yes

  YEAH!! 

Put me down in the column of "running For Beer" . 

 Running + beer consumption = falling on my fanny!  I don't bounce like I used to!!!

You are not alone, want to pr,will see how the day goes.

I will be outside the Mercury Caffee bar prior to the start...11:30ish.  It is very close to the start/finish line

Look for the giant, oversized face.  I will likely have a full pint glass in hand.

Fixed that for you.  It is her day, after all 

We couldn't find you Kimm!  What a nut house, next year we'll be better prepared.  Pics up in my album.  Not to mention not finding Trish and Jo afterwards.

Thanks for the beer Curegirl

Here's some of the BTers that managed to trip into each other.  What a glorious day!  I've a feeling spring is here (she says hopefully)

Dave, Trish, Jo(cleverly hiding her beer ;-), Andrea, Karen & Steve
