SSMinnow - 2010-09-23 2:51 PM swbkrun - 2010-09-23 11:48 AM DougRob - 2010-09-23 8:44 AM I cannot commit to Rev3 just yet. I spoke with my wife last night and I am contemplating doing this race. It is a 6 hour drive from Raleigh. What does Linda (Havin' Fun) say? I have two kids 10 and 12 and we tried going to a race together and it messed with my focus. (All of them expected me to handle everything for them and I was busy trying to organize and then execute a race). So I would hav to do this solo. I'll give it more thought after the weekend. I now have the added pressure of knowing that you all are going to follow us on Sunday! That is going to make my slow run worse! (Or I might just have to do well. There is always a first! Run-wise that is). So now you know that when you are feeling like rubbish, we don't care.... RUN FASTER! You can feel like rubbish after the race! GO GET EM'! When I knew the group was tracking me, that served as a great motivator!!! We are supporting you Doug and don't forget it!! No judging involved, except maybe from Birdy I can wait on the REV3....I already got the green light from all parties so I am in. Suzy, I just made our tentative schedule for next year and all is looking good for Rev 3. It's like putting a puzzle together. I think it's only about a four hour drive from Greenville. Doug, you bet we are going to follow you. Actually we will be right there with you. Thinking about the MG during my IM was a big boost when times got tough. Needless to say, I was thinking about you guys a bunch. Tony, good luck in your 10K. Run like you stole something. Stan- yikes! Sorry to hear about that. Sounds like a major pia. Good luck.

Master 1372 Tosa, WI | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! SSMinnow - 2010-09-24 5:17 AM I did post the picture. Here it is again. It was taken in my dorm room in 1981. I was sober during the painting, but ended up in the emergency room by the end of the night with a concussion. As it turns out, the Little Green Sprout shouldnt ride on the shoulders of the Jolly Green Giant when he has been drinking immense amounts. Dropped me and I hit my head on the curb...shortly after that, I dropped him Drinking immense amounts in Madison? Really? On Halloween? Really? Is there a big party there on Halloween? Glad you are ok, all part of being a Badger! I remember my sophomore year on State Street (yes the same State Street for IM-MOO) for Halloween getting crushed by the crowd because there were so many people you couldn't go the way you wanted, you had to move the same way as the crowd. My bride...girlfriend back then...all 4'11" of her... turned into a full time job for 3 guys just trying to keep her in the same area as the rest of our group! MTV was on site......Oh fun times....I think! Edited by badgerintx 2010-09-24 7:08 AM |

I'm doing my best to stay in the moment to cheer on all our racers, especially those taking part in the MG reunion!!!! Someone please be responsible for pictures and getting them posted so we can see everyone in the flesh. I have to tell you I am BEYOND EXCITED that REV3 is coming together....with Chris committing, can Linda, Tracy, Julia and Doug be far behind??? No pressure!!....Tony and Sam are in, I'm in, John promised to visit us while tapering and Stan is a definite maybe if he can get his house put back together.....who else can come???? Dineen??? Andy? Steve? DJ? Birdy? RP? George? Kyla? Glenn? Trevor? Rob? Kelly? While I would love Twin to come, selfishly I really want her to visit me this summer for an IM training weekend so am refraining from tempting her!!! If I've missed someone, raise your hand and say YES! |

Elite 3395 Raleigh | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! My race number is 2925 for Augusta (almost the same as Suzy's Wisconson #). I have not raced in the rain in over 25 years! Yeah you read that right...25 years. Oh joy. However lets look on the bright side: 1. No need for sunscreen. 2. I already sweat like I am in the shower. I figured to be drenched by mile 7, so this will actually bring everyone down to my level on the run! Anyway, I packed a couple of garbage bags to keep things kind of dry. Doug |

I THINK I am in for the Oly. Even though I am working like crazy right now I am in a MAJOR cash crunch since I do tons of work for colleges and universities and they are notoriously slow to cut checks....when does this race usually fill up? And can someone comment on the course? I looked at the web-site and couldn't get a lot from there. |

Master 2436 Apex, north carolina | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! You know me Matt, I might get COLD!!! Trying to stay positive for Sunday. Very sad time for me. Our beloved cat of 15 years finally lost the battle last night. So some of my anticipation excitement is drained, but it'll be good. I'll go kick John's but in honor of my Roxy |

Lol, I think a blue tarp is more acceptable when you are out in the country...not in the middle of my San Francisco neighborhood! Good luck to all of you guys racing! Be safe in the rain and have fun! I will hopefully be sipping an umbrella drink at the pool on Sunday by 2pm, I can look up your race results on the Ipad! Aloha! |

Expert 1010 Greer, SC | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Well, I was going to begin a little more intense training tomorrow including watching my diet. That has all changed. Here is where I'm heading tonight, tomorrow, and possibly on Sunday for brunch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsMSkUReezE If you like Top Chef or just food, wine, beer and music for that matter, it sounds pretty cool. Greenville, SC is such an awesome place! Since it's for my wife's company, I feel obligated to go, but I am actually hoping to skip Sunday so I can cheer on our Augusta crew. |
