Q - 2010-02-20 11:41 AMGOOOOOD JUJU!!!! (no sacrifice fire king)

Hope you feel better soon Renee.  Maybe a good swim this week (please weather, get better...supposed to be in the 70's mid week!) will help!  You should see how much I've been swimming this month...thanks to you.

I have a load of people for the dinner...I hope it's not too late to get it arranged...if it's too much lemme know and we'll make other arrangements, I don't wanna overload the restaurant.

It'll be...
Me
Brian
Jim (timebaron) + 2
Pete (klondike) + 1

So that's 7 of us just from my party. 
We'll talk this week I'm sure.  I haven't heard from Nicole yet.  I think I'm gonna stop down there today some time.
Lesse ... from the original list

Renee
Ernie
Traci
Traci's hubby
Mike + 1

+ 7 w/Jeff

Looks like party of 13 at 7 (update from original 7 at 7).

Ok I have a party of 8 for 6pm. Renee's party of 7 at 7 and another 6 or 7 people at 7. We do not have a table for 13 people so I will put it in as two separate parties if that works. Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing all of you. Heard the weather should be beautiful for the races!

May be a little chilly waiting for the race to start but sounds like great running weather to me.


"On Sunday, the 7 a.m. temperature will be 45 degrees with a wind chill of 43. The wind will be less, though, at about 6 mph and no expectation of rain."

That sounds like PR weather to me.  Good luck to everyone out there!

the restaurant is downtown on franklin street. the cross streets are madison or twiggs. parking is free after 530. the meters say they are until 6 but we were told that the cops who check them go home after 530. there is also a parking lot on tampa st i believe? between twiggs and madison. the lot is 6 dollars but you dont have to pay the full price usually.

My sister said she is going to be a the finish line waiting on me. So sweet and unexpected! But even more so - MY MOTHER IS GOING TO BE THERE TOO!!! I have no idea why, but I think that's incredibly sweet of her.

I will be there, I hate running in the cold, but HTFU, right?

Oh and Andy "The Bachelor" Baldwin will be running it as well. So keep your eyes out for an incredibly hot guy (I mean that in the most heterosexual way possible, for the record).

I hope everyone had a great race yesterday - the weather couldn't have been better.

I ran the half mary and finished it in 2:06:54 (chip) or 2:08:58 (clock). 
My goal was 2:10.   I want to thank the academy...   , I mean, the pacers.  I stuck to the 2:10 (Amy) gang and didn't leave their side until we had 2 miles to go, when I pressed it a little bit.

Renee, how awesome!  I was so busy last 2 weeks I didnt have a chance to check with anyone.  How did your race go?  I know u were battling it out there with the injuries, etc. 

What's next for you?  Tri season is quickly approaching.  I am doing St Anth's and then I will just work, train and have fun.

I did them all!!!!!  Funniest thing, a woman at the store the next day said, "oh you ran Gasparilla?  Which one did you run?"  I said "them all!"  She said "what place did you come in."  .....out of 16,000 runners?  Haha, "right about in the middle!" I said.  Ultra!!!!!!!!!!  Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
