Prague and Barcelona are on my list (which is really long) of places to see. So many places, so little money and time! Hi Robin, I work for a very small pharmaceutical company. Just graduating out of the start up phase. We are in the process of expanding into Europe, which is what has me crossing the pond so often. I know I'm lucky to have seen as much of the world as I have, but it is not the glamour life it sometimes sounds like. Won't complain though. I am very lucky. And, I also have my list of places as well. I have never been to Russia, China, Africa or South America. Cities I'd like to visit in each. |

Pro 4482 NJ | Subject: RE: The Ghoulies Are Running a Half Marathon in January!!! Ok, just have to share that I've been following the news coverage of tragedy in Haiti (who hasn't?) and finding myself feeling so very sad and helpless. International Medical Corps is one of my favorite charities and they are down there right now doing everything they can. But it is not enough. I'll be sending more money this month, but that won't do a thing for the horrific suffering that is currently taking place. Nor does it make me feel any better at the moment. It is just heartbreaking. Sorry for the downer message but just had to let that one out. |

It is just heartbreaking. Sorry for the downer message but just had to let that one out. I am right there with you. It is truly heartbreking to watch. As a nurse I feel like I COULD do more, if I could just GET there. And my hubby, as an engineer, feels the same way. Donating $$ doesn't feel like enough, somehow. The weirdest part is that I've always felt this strange draw to go to Haiti. I have no idea why. But, it doesn't seem to be in the cards for us to go any time soon. every avenue I have explored wants applications, screening process and 6-9 month commitments. (!) It doesn't mean I won't be sending positive energy and $$$ their way, though. |

I used to work in pediatric oncology. I have seen exactly what they are going through, and my heart and prayers go out to them. I posted this in BT - just so you can see if you don't cruise over there very often. http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=193603&posts=3#M2619301 |

| Pro 4482 NJ | Subject: RE: The Ghoulies Are Running a Half Marathon in January!!! Greetings Ghoulies. Just wanted to drop in and say hello. Today is my last day in Spain and heading home tomorrow. Looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. Last night was a disaster sleepwise. Around midnight the room next door woke me up with their VERY loud arguing. Best I can tell, it was 4-5 men (how 5 men fit in that room, if it is the same size as mine, is beyond me.) I started slamming my shoe against the wall and they quieted down a bit. But only for a while. At 3am I called the front desk to complain. Grrrrrr. I got my revenge this morning when I got up at 6:30 to go workout. I turned the tv on to CNN, very loud, and left it on for the hour and a half I was in the gym. Not very generous of me, but it felt good. Hope everyone is doing well. PS, love the pic Bill! |

| Champion 16743 Somewhere I can be nekidd | Subject: RE: The Ghoulies Are Running a Half Marathon in January!!! Good morning everyone!!! I am back in PA  I would have stayed in AZ if I could have found someone to bring me my stuff, and my kids. I completed the 13.1 miles but I'm not happy about it at all. The race was great, loved the bands, all that was good. I was slow though. TOO D@MN SLOW! I never really found my pace. I then pulled a muscle in my calf at the gu/water station at mile 8.6. I power limped the rest of the way. I'm still upset about it but not as much. Miles 9-11 were for THE VILLAGE!!! There was no way I wasn't going to finish. Thank you all for the support. I need to go read the last couple of pages, but I was greeted when I got home by a husband and a son with the flu. Guess who has it now. January just isn't turning out to be my month. I'm going to go take another nap, I'll be back later. LOVE YOU ALL!!!! MWAH! |

This challenge will fit in perfect this month. I shall try to add two "1/2 marys" to the mix.  (spread over 7 sessions!)  That will make me keep my distance up this month.We have a NEW year play with and have all kinds of fun and challenges!! Whee hee! I already have a challenge in mind for when it gets warmer. So we'll have to keep this going for awhile if you guys want to find out what it is. Hopefully Tom won't cry about a warmer weather challenge. I guess we could let him wear whatever he wants for that one. I can handle a warm weather challenge. As long as there's no more obvious attempts to get me streaking through Southern California, young lady. Tom it wasn't an obvious attempt. An obvious attempt would be having you streaking through South Central Pennsylvania!  Fair enough Seriously though, I'm looking forward to hearing what your warm weather challenge is going to be. Should be fun!Should I wait to tell you or tell you now? I'm not feeling patient, but this is for all the Ghoulies to decide. VOTE TIME GHOULIES!!! x2 on the vote...or can I? I think once a ghoulie always a ghoulie right??? |
