SWBKRUN fast, furious, and closed (Page 261)

Hey now - be nice to me -  I have to read through these posts at lightening speed so I miss things from time to time.  I only asked for a cheat sheet! 

OK MG here is the deal. If you have not already received a custom-made pen from me, send me your address. Do not worry about how much time it will take. I have made enough pens that once I get in a groove it only takes 15 minutes/pen. The laser engraving takes more time as I have to have a firend with a laser engraver do that and he has to fit it in around his big orders.

Old MG members I might could be persuaded to make one too if you have lost yours, your spouse took it or wants one too, etc. In for a penny in for a pound.

Love the pics, John! 

Congrats, Doug, Linda, Trevor and John!

enjoy... </sarc>

Practically have them memorized. Very hard to make it work with this group!

Didn't want this to get lost in the shuffle with all the IMFL 2012 talk.  Awsome job William!

Here is the link...

Wow, lots going on.  Congrats to all our racers with huge shout outs to our newest Ironmen! 

Things have been crazy here. My husband was in the hospital with heart/BP issues, then we had that storm which knocked out our power for a few days.  It destroyed our trees, school was canceled for days, and got slammed at work.  Finally seeing the light. 

I've adopted Kyla's run every day in a month challenge for Nov.  Just throwing on my sneaks, no watch. So freeing and enjoyable. 

no!  i was making fun of andy, not you!  funny how your cheat sheet yesterday was dead on... hmmmmm can you tell us what kim's phantom race is?

WHAT??? - you were making fun of me?    Say it ain't so...

uh-oh! hope your old man is doing better. geez sounds like you guys got beat up.  glad you're seeing the light!

LOL - sorry I have no idea what Kim's secret race is unless she is flying out to AZ next weekend. 

Which would be cool beyond words.....but I think she would have mentioned it yesterday at lunch......

Just to make sure everyone caught it, I fixed John's post.  (And, having met her on Sat night, I agree, and that is not just the post-IM "everything is hazy" thing.)

Also, for places to stay, I stayed at Whispering Seas.  It is literally ON the run course, about .7 miles from the chute, and only a hundred yards or so after the half marathon point.  (For those who were there, it was just before the "Girl Zone" aid station area.)  They were great, flexible in terms of arrival and departure times and priced right.  (Checkout time is 10am on Sunday, and I had the room until Monday.  When I called and told them at 1pm on Sunday that I was leaving, they credited back the cost of the last night.)  website is whisperingseas.com or panamabeachtime.com.

And, again, it was so great to see John and Linda in Panama City.  My FIL signed up for next year again, so I may come and watch...

The following people either sent me their address or expressed an interest in a pen:

jfought

gdale

velcromom

roniS

tdl1972

tricrazy

kkcbelle

Terps421.

I turned two tonight. If you want one and do not see your name on this list PM me your address. I sent two people on the list a PM as I do not have your addresses.

Finally someone asked how much and what is shipping. It is the same as last time: $0.00

Thanks for sharing.  I'll have a talk with my wife so she understands why I'm pounding a beer after each and every workout.   This may even motivate me to get out for some early morning running.

BooYah!  The weekend is almost here!  Who's racing?

If you're not racing, what do you consider your key swim / bike / run workouts during training? 

FYI: The new pens for the MG will have no words engraved on them. Instead I am going to have them laser engraved wiith this (without the oval):

I'm running the Rim Rock Marathon through Colorado National Monument on Saturday. Still tired from last weekend, but unbelievably excited to run Rim Rock after doing some hiking yesterday and seeing the incredible scenery that awaits. Here's a pic from yesterdays hike:

Wow - I am so jealous.  That looks incredibly awesome.  Good luck and take it slow.  :-)  And more pics please from the race!!!!
