Master  6595     Rio Rancho, NM |  Subject: RE: Mad Manatees 2015.3 CLOSED (or Poptarts? Pet pics?)Originally posted by popsracer Originally posted by rrrunner I received an email for a 5k trail run on a local high school XC track in a couple weeks. I think it would be a fun experience so I'll probably do it. The following week is both the Santa Fe run (up 6 mi, down 6 mi) and the Denver Hot Chocolate (5k or 15k). Leaning toward Santa Fe on that one buuuuut I'd have to drive to Denver right after. OTOH, if I do the Hot Chocolate 5k it's an easier race after which I would have to get in a car and drive home The XC race sounds like it would be a lot of fun. There is a big high school XC invitational up here where they have an open race and I always thought it would be fun to relive my glory days. I was undefeated in my first year of high school XC before tearing my hamstring many, many years ago. I was never quite the same. There is a big XC invitational right after the 5k. I'm looking forward to sticking around to watch that. |

OTOH, if I do the Hot Chocolate 5k it's an easier race after which I would have to get in a car and drive home Do the Santa Fe - you know you want to! DH and I just signed up for races next Sat. He's doing a 30 mi. all-kinds-of-terrain bike ride and I'm doing a hilly 4 mi. run, both put on the same day at the same place. I've come down with a major case of lackofmotivationitis so having another race in a pretty and challenging venue will be good for me. I've been wanting to race with him and am glad to see him signing up for something, even if it isn't the same race I'm doing. He's planning to do MTB Rebecca Rusch's Rebecca's Private Idaho 100 mi. ride next year so this race will be a good mini-practice ride to get him started. Ain't NO way I'm gonna do RPI but I'll be happy to sherpa for him. Awesome! Is he doing the whole training thing or "just" the century? Sounds like a fun race for next weekend. Where is the race? I was just looking at the Santa Fe race location. I'd considered doing a short recon run today but it's way way out of town so I'll wait until I have a longer run on tap. He just told me he's going for the "Small Fry", which is 60 mi., then maybe going to do the "Big Potato" sometime in the future. Either way, it looks like a major party. They even have a prize akin to the Lanterne Rouge. The last rider in gets the "Baked Potato" award. Steve, Salty, and Kirsten, you should consider coming over to join us. Could be a lot of fun and there's evidently really good beer. The race next weekend is in Castle Pines just south of Denver so I'm hoping it'll be really pretty. |

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Mad Manatees 2015.3 CLOSED (or Poptarts? Pet pics?) Great job on the run Steve and I'm glad your race went well Chris. I hope everyone else had a great weekend. I wrote a training plan for K to get her from daily 30 minute walk to run/walking a 12k in May. We are going to go slowly, slowly to start with cause this is the first step in her Dopey challenge adventure. I really want her to enjoy it and not get injured. |

| Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Mad Manatees 2015.3 CLOSED (or Poptarts? Pet pics?) Proof of life post. It's been a crazy 2 weeks with/for Dad/me, as new issues have popped up and his health has declined some. It's too exhausting and long to go into details, but he got admitted to the hospital yesterday which is really where he needs to be right now to get some of his many issues cared for. Of the 3 day weekend, I did manage to have about 1.5 days of fun, spending time out back on my patio by the chiminea with my best friend Sat. night and miraculously getting to spend all day (a whole day!) Sunday outside, running then kayaking. Monday was spent in the hospital all day. Edited by melbo55 2015-09-08 9:34 AM |

I find the whole discussion to be kind of ironic, in that the original post states that he had "been away for a while" and now the long timers are gone. Dude, you've answered your own question. People come and go. It's the circle of life on the internet. Then the thread dissolved into the yearly "what's wrong with BT" discussion and I just had to stuff my 2 cents in there. |
