p90x core synergestics... it's been a while since I've done this, and it was really tough.  I guess I needed it.

On the sad, sad news front; the 24 hour ultra I've been looking forward to for 11 months sold out before I got a chance to register.  I just want to cry, throw a fit, and scream until I get a spot.  I may need to resort to pirate activities, like stealing other people's entries.  The thing that really makes me mad is that there are lots of people who sign up and only walk for an hour, then stop.  Why do they get my spot?  Why, why why??????  Maybe i can talk them into giving me the other 23 hours?

WHAT??!!??? I Want to cry and scream too. I'm so sorry!! What a dumb, stupid thing. grrrrrr!!! Maybe send a plea to the RD? Since you've done it in years past maybe he'll be nice and let you in? If he says no, maybe he knows of some places you could get an entry? A good whining plea can't hurt, can it? A no is no further behind than you already are...

What? How lame!

Burt & RAD- I was thinking....the race is on an open course at a public park. I could hold a mutiny and just run myself. I wouldn't get an official mileage, but what does that matter?

I could even make my own unique bib to wear :-) Because I'm so special.

From Burt on Fri, Aug 19, 2011 at 14:58:42 from 206.19.214.144

And you could wear a feather hat!

From The Quiet Pirate on Fri, Aug 19, 2011 at 15:40:26 from 152.26.59.252

head-dress, not hat.

From Burt on Fri, Aug 19, 2011 at 16:36:30 from 206.19.214.144

I don't want to be a feather in your hat.

That stinks! You have been talking about that race since last year. I would try pleading...I bet they could find room for one more.

I think you'd need to steal one while on a boat.

I've left email requests for info and 2 phone messages with the race director. No return calls. Maybe I'm not important enough for him. I guess he's got 277 other friends who've already paid him the $, so he doesn't need any more.

Either way, I've found a November marathon so run, so I've got a goal again. Now all I need is a goat.

Sorry about the race being sold out...especially to people who probably won't appreciate it. It seems so unfair. Glad you found another race to do.

By the way, if you need a goat, I have one you can borrow. :)

From The Quiet Pirate on Tue, Aug 23, 2011 at 11:12:23 from 152.26.59.252

You've got a goat?

Really? Seriously really???
