The Mysterious Dark Arts (Page 64)

I will post in between.

TOPPAGE! Sweet!

have you ever seen a gorilla on a bike?

Can't say that I have, but I'm sure it's hilarious!

Are you just going to leave us hanging like that?  Or are you going to show us a gorilla on a bike?

LOL!

I wouldn't leave you hanging forever

BBIAB

I'll put up a couple more pics and tell you the story when I return

And there's that famous quote from Airplane - "You ever seen a grown man naked?"

LazyMarathoner - 2008-10-06 10:13 PM Cat, can you add a spreadsheet link to page 1 since we'll lose it buried within the pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages....?

I updated the first post in the thread with a link to the spreadsheet

so, how tall are you?

ok, so about the gorrilla on the bike

(for those of you that heard me talk about the taco ride last year, feel free to fast forward to the next post )

sooooo, there's this weekly ride called the taco ride that takes place in Iowa every Thursday.

It's about as far from a training ride as you could imagine - it's really about the fermented beverages and tacos

we meet on the road and have a beer, then ride 6 miles or so to 'margaritaville' (a clearing beside the trail that has a few picnic tables and a ton of bike racks) - and have another beer

then we ride another 3 miles or so into town and have tacos at the steakhouse -

after we are full (and for us before the karoke gets really bad) we ride back down the trail

it's a good time (I've even seen first hand what riding 'naked' really looks like and it has nothing to do with not wearing an ipod or HRM - LOL!)

anyhoo, what does this have to do withe gorilla you are asking

last year for Halloween, two of the guys dressed up as gorrillas and I wore a blonde wig like Fay Raye

They actually did the whole ride in costume, it was hysterical!

Before the ride

In town

hmmmm

I seem to be all alone................

Dark Arts notes – Volume 4

Monday got off to a slow start, seems everyone actually had to work yesterday!  The nerve of our employers!

There are some great pics from a 5K in Indianapolis (thanks Emily!) and from some gorillas on bikes – be sure to check them out (pages 63 and 64 ish)

Phil (1stTimeTri)-  Phil was a little lax on the posting over the weekend – apparently he’s trying to avoid becoming known as the ‘freaklishly tall dude’ .  He has shown us a new talent of his – he can create a picture with letters – quite clever actually!

Steve (AccidentalChef)-  has a brand new bike – it’s pretty hot, check it out in his blog (I may have to go back a few days or use my imagination, but I will find something to post hehe)

Melissa (BunnyB) – had a long day at work on Monday – but did get out for a walk – WTG!

Emily (esc) –  Too bad Dee wasn’t around when Emily described how she likes to be entertained on vacation,

Cat (kaqphin)- has set a goal to reach 15K, let’s help her do it this month!  Of course she may get there more quickly with the help of the ‘dang quote thingy’

Kendra (kns57)- must be working – or maybe she moved her office outside after all

Beth (lastcall2003)- posted a yummy low fat alfredo sauce recipe!

Matt (mdb) – Matt, come out and play –pretty please, with sugar on top?

Judi (QueenZipp) – I peeked in Judi’s blog, and it sounds like the ankle is slightly better today – she is taking good care of it, lot’s of R.I.C.E.

Kathrin (ratkat) – Kathrin got some nice TOPPAGE!  She also made us a new table with a link to the spreadsheet, thanks Kathrin! 

Travis (tlnewman)- has apparently volunteered to run next month’s challenge (at least in the world according to Cat )  He also has a few races lined up for next year, but is concerned that it will adversely affect his posting on BT – where are your priorities man?  I mean, if Kristin can post from the elliptical, surely you can find a way………….

Sharon (zeefraugtries) – does a pretty convincing Elvis impression – Thank you, thank you very much………………

Kristin (LazyMarathoner) – gave her legs a rest and created a team spreadsheet for us, thanks Kristin! – she also learned how to use the little clicky button thingy.  Unfortunately Tuesday is a day full of meetings, so we won’t hear much from her, unless she can sneak in a few posts on her crackberry

What would we do without you Beth??? :-)

Break between meetings... Just hoping that the work day is over soon... And why is it only Tuesday??? It should be at least Thursday... that's how it feels anyways.

awwww, thanks Kathrin {BLUSH}

this day is crawling for me too!

Crawling for me three.

esc - 2008-10-07 5:33 PM Thanks for the gorilla pics!  Gorilla wearing a backpack "waiting to be seated" made me LOL.

it was a wild and crazy night!

I won't be around tonight - headed for a fancy dinner in Philly

(work related, but should still be nice)

Where is everyone today?

Figures, I finally get to come play and everyone is working

Beth, thanks for the notes.
