I'm pretty sure you got some of the gene out of our founding pioneer: Eugene Skinner.
Question: 5 hrs, 21 miles - what did you eat and drink?

Spent almost 5 hours and 21.5 miles with my old friend Bonk exploring too many long, steep dead-ends. Wish you were there, but you can be glad you weren't. On the positive side, I found a trail from lower Clemens to lower Greenhouse.

Colby had an idea ...... thought it might be fun. And now we're at
9000 hits. Unbelievable. Way to go guys (and gals) ..... keep it up !

not sure force is necessary...

Ditto on the abduction

Nice to read something from both the P boys! I think we need to kidnap Colby and force a few micros down him!

Rick wants me to run Seattle with him in 3 weeks. I've been running but not marathon training while he just ran Victoria last month in 2:54. So I set out to work hard over three weeks and see where I was before making a final decision to join. I suppose I'll sign up tonight. Last Sunday I introduced him to our South Lake Washington Loop. 23 Miles. I finished stronger than I expected. So we did it again today and were 4 minutes faster, we were running sub 3 pace the last 4-5 miles. I felt pretty strong, not sub 3 strong but go enjoy your local marathon strong anyway.....

I've been periodically getting the feeling back in my foot. It's off and on, but a positive sign nonetheless...

Oh yeah, one more thing! Ditto on the international coyote welcome.
It's good to hear from our innocents abroad = :-{D >

Chaser--I kept expecting to see hunters but never did. JJ--lagging? As if! Sharing some of the cool stuff I've discovered was extremely satisfying and may have even provided me with a little extra kick. Can't wait to get the rest of you up there.
