Um, yeah, that's what I had planned, Carl, really

I'm not retiring to my room at 8 p.m. unless there's a case of beer in the fridge and the party's in my room.

Karl, I only have five states and D.C. so far. I keep running the same stuff over and over. I need a new strategy But by the time I run Boston in April, I shouldl have seven more states knocked out.

Already have my Dayton contacts ( a publishing firm I deal with) checking out what the best after places to go for steak and beverages in the Beavercreek area.

I assume we're going that route as opposed to the lemongrass bulgar wheat salad with a tofu tonic? (not that there's anything wrong with that).

To live a life of safety and complacency is to live without passion or purpose.

Oh my god. We ARE related.

The Air Force Marathon has the potential to be really fast. It was one of my favorite courses and is home to my current PR a 3:19:??. Have fun knocking off the many states. I am abnout to knock off oat least one more continent over the next several years.

I hope to nail one or 2 in Australia and maybe jump over to China for the great wall experience for 26.2 miles. We will see what the deployment rotation is and when I can sneak trips for the family in.

I haven't run in China, yet. Great Wall is one I would like to do and also the marathon down from Everest Base Camp. I walked on the Great Wall and I have heard the marathon is challenging. The steps are randomly sized.

I ran Gold Coast in Australia a few years ago. It is a great race in early July near the beach close to Brisbane. Weather was terrific. The course is flat and fast. We spent 3 weeks and never even got to the western side of OZ.

Lies Spectators tell Marathoners: 1) Last Hill! 2) Almost there! 3) You look great!

I'm registered for the 1/2, it's only an hour away and I figure it will be a good training run a month and a few days out from the MCM.
