I remember when I was a young kid right around 11 or 12 and first started watching the Tour de France and other weird races on TV. I was always entrigued and wanted to challenge myself that way. I am now at the point in my life where I get to do cool fun stuff. This race and year is one for the record books. It is all a dream coming true for me. I love my life and the adventure that each day brings. I hope my excitement is contagious and not repulsive. And to top it all off I get some good Vermont beer and a Ben and Jerry's tour.

Nita I know the loyal fans of Jimmy and this boards members are good and when I typed repulsive I knew it was the wrong word but I meant more of a turn off then repulsive. We need to pick out a good road race that we can both make it to and sign up. I would so love to run a race with you. I had all intentions of doing so at this years CMM but the next race we will run together. Maybe not til Houston but....

Ya know, Jimmy, I was thinking this would be a really great quid pro quo:
Unless you're really trying for a time goal at Houston, you help pace me to BQ in January and then I run 10 miles (or so) with you in your ultra the next month, plus help with any other support. Deal?
I will not be racing Houston for sure. I would love to run with you and keep you company. Deal it is |

Jimmy, if you weren't excited, I'd have to think you were dead. We're all doing a little vicarious living through you and Chuck and Toby. Maybe you should come to Philly next summer and do the 20in24. The top male runner did 121.42 miles in 24 hours. The top female did 111, for all you aspiring female ultra runners. And, yeah, we had a 95 degree high that day.
We've come this far and it's still the same,
Runnin' out here in the rain.
Just one more mile, if only you could fly.

Len I was checking that out after I heard about it. Would be an awesome trip to take the family on. The kids would enjoy that for the summer vacation I think. I read some reviews on this and the great thing is you can downsize in the middle of the race. I can't wait to give you all a handy weekend report as soon I can muster it.

What? Huh? You're shooting for BQ in January? Um, cr@p, I'm going to have to get down to 3:20 by Disney then. . . that's January 11th, I believe. ![]()
Houston is Jan. 18. You could still beat me to Boston. Well, qualifying, that is. We can go to Boston together ![]()
(sigh) I am not going to take 35 minutes off my PR by January. Well, maybe not. But if I do, there will be one heck of a party in Boston!
