Great race report...Congratulations on a great race! Great race report, too. I'm glad you had a nice visit with Web. Now that I met Eric, I see a definite resemblance in Web.<BR/><BR/>I'm in San Diego for RNR Marathon, and the car in the lane next to me had Washington plates and a Puyallup license frame! I wanted to jump out and ask if she knew you, but the light changed. She turned right and we turned left. Do you know any runners here? I tried to memorize the license number, but forgot it now.Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489181738411546254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162202.post-57150071888725485852008-05-19T04:41:00.000-07:002008-05-19T04:41:00.000-07:00Nice race and PR!!!!

I also applaud your acceptance of Web's chosen path. Yes, it can be hard if a child goes in a different direction, but a good parent lets them lead, not follow, when they reach adulthood.<BR/><BR/>(And it looks like he has quite a great setup.)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377440606704745517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162202.post-82025103706637847482008-05-15T08:05:00.000-07:002008-05-15T08:05:00.000-07:00What a wonderful way to spend Mother's Day.

Before, when I used to just run marathons everyone seemed so competitive in the races. Once I did an Ultra it was like "Wow, you will stop and talk with me? Ask me if I need anything?". I find I am so much more helpful to others now in any kind of race. It is more how to enjoy the experience than how dang fast I can go.Brethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02317209005630280684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162202.post-60399753338715396162008-05-13T22:31:00.000-07:002008-05-13T22:31:00.000-07:00What a wonderful weekend for you, my friend!

Amazing to see the world through the adult child's eyes.

(I have given my water out in the terribly hot Virginia summer, and been given it by others when I really needed it.) Interesting shots of Web's farm.
