Instead, for the last 4 painful miles, I had to hear "Go Lance" or "looking good Lance". Frickin Lance. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't drop him. So wear your big SCOTT sign and maybe you can annoy the crap out of some other runner who's suffering like a dog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265758111946440722.post-7990665619550633362008-07-11T08:09:00.000-05:002008-07-11T08:09:00.000-05:00Scott, my family and I (hubby and 2 dogs) will be ...Scott, my family and I (hubby and 2 dogs) will be rooting for you and Eric from the sidelines on race day when you go by Lake Nokomis.

Isn't it interesting how hungry you get which, therefore, inhibits the weight loss? Keep kicking butt and when you want to quit again, call me and we'll go for a run. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265758111946440722.post-19425349894081078682008-07-11T05:54:00.000-05:002008-07-11T05:54:00.000-05:00Have you ever read the book No Need for Speed: A B...Have you ever read the book <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/No-Need-Speed-Beginners-Running/dp/1579544290" REL="nofollow"><I>No Need for Speed: A Beginner's Guide to the Joy of Running</I></A> by John Bingham? It's a little trite at points, but he started running at age 40 as well, and I found his outlook very encouraging back before, um, I stopped running. <BR/><BR/>As for Viggo, Hudson licks my legs when I come home from the gym.

I like piano, you like piano. I like men, you like men. I like to eat, you like to cook.<BR/><BR/>And then we get to: I used to do pelvic exams for a living, and you're training for a freakin' marathon. Suddenly the Ven diagram is just two big circles separated by bafflement.<BR/><BR/>I do enjoy learning about different cultures, and it's pretty interesting that the sportals need to lube their body parts just to do their regular daily tasks. In the pelvic exam world we like a little lube too, you know.<BR/><BR/>I've read that there can be vomiting during the marathon. Could we get photo documentation of viggo licking your head?debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11701744720665792046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265758111946440722.post-41314720510778301332008-07-10T23:22:00.000-05:002008-07-10T23:22:00.000-05:00I love it!

Being a former runner - I remember those training days when you feel so good that you feel like you could run forever. Unfortunately they don't happen enough - huh?!
