Personal:

born in 1964. married 25 years. one wife one dog

6 ft tall, nation wide

"Engaging in a little suffering — however self-imposed, arbitrary and contrived — before breakfast each morning tends to demand some humility and injects some marked relief into the rest of the day, making things sharper, more inspired, more immediately aware of the powerful presence of being. And that seems really worthwhile." A. Krupicka

 

"I cruised down hills, churned up hills, and floated over the asphalt, existing in a world that seemed to lack the confinements of such ubiquitous rivets as time, obligation, or pain. I knew then that this was destined to be one of those serendipitous runs for which so many of 
us strive yet so rarely achieve." J. Nevels

...although a simple picture of your finishing heel click will suffice for at least a few hours...

Sounds perfect... can't wait to see your report.

I'll pretty much be doing the same thing as Allie, so...no pressure.

From Stacie on Fri, Oct 22, 2010 at 15:05:13 from 174.52.21.251

I guess you're gone. Good luck anyway!

Thanks you guys! The report is up. I had considered attempting a little heel click ala Nevels, but I was lucky just to move across the finish line under my own power.
