Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter.  The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance.  Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.

I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities.

Ran with Aaron to see if I could keep up.  I did. 

In lieu of gu, I took a bag of gummies.  I wouldn't recommend it.  They're too hard to chew when you're breathing heavy.  At least they were too hard from me to chew.

Wow, great time for a half. Is this a PR for you? great work!

Goodness gracious! Awesome speed Mr. Monte. Can I even call you that? You're so far out of my league now. I'm not sure we can even be friends now. Well, anyone who would eat gummy bears in a half marathon is all right in my book. Great job!

wholy cow! That is amazing! Way to go. I'm glad you didn't choke on a gummy bear while running. You are a rock star!

Great race, Mont. You are my polar opposite for giving race details! lol I know what you mean about the gummies. Chewing and panting don't go together very well. ;)

Wow nice pace!!

I didn't realize you had another race!!! MAN ALIVE FASTBOY!!!! That is some serious speed. Hmmmm ... maybe I need to rethink the FIRST program! :)

Sorry that the gummies let you down -- that stinks!

A HUGE congrats on the PR and 2nd place! Incredibly cool!!! What a stud! :)
