In fact I forgot to mention my few minutes cowering in the porta potty in the second half of the the race....hey it was STINKY but it was DRY!!!<br /><br />Hi Heather,<br /><br />I considered abandoning the glasses but I am so blind that I would probably still be wandering aimlessly through Frederick, MD...or perhaps I would be in PA, NY or even in Canada. Luckily I am always prepared for a trip to Canada with some Canadian money in case this ever happens:-)<br /><br />Glaven, Glaven, Glaven...<br /><br />I don't critique your questionable use of footnotes, italics and irrational use of crazy literature terms you use as a research librarian. How can you challenge my math??? Oh yeah because my math stinks! Well, I'm a statistician, in reality it just means I have to be reasonable close within some random (or fixed) margin of error. Would you prefer I say the clock: 11:33, my watch 11:39 hence 9 minute difference +/- 3 minutes??? Now you made me actually have to do some math. I need a beer and a nap!<br /><br />Oh yeah as for your long posts...yours are way longer, they just look shorter because you use footnotes which simply makes the font smaller!<br /><br />Nic,<br /><br />Considering how everything was sopping wet and tasted like cardboard or road pizza by the middle of the marathon, I might as well have munched on my poncho. It would have been just as tasty and palatable.<br /><br />RE: Glaven...his poor attitude is probably due to lack of endorphins. I bet if he got a marathon under his belt he would have a way sunnier personality:-)Runner Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00059758273238421216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299086143790529567.post-72007640712743007642009-05-07T12:18:00.000-07:002009-05-07T12:18:00.000-07:00Anything Glaven is being or doing can be described...Anything Glaven is being or doing can be described as "dickish."nwgdchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15000663254776350045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299086143790529567.post-32305297673463297782009-05-07T12:17:00.000-07:002009-05-07T12:17:00.000-07:00I was wondering why you were trying to eat the tie...I was wondering why you were trying to eat the tie of a Glad Bag. <br />Don't they have aid stations?nwgdchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15000663254776350045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299086143790529567.post-72535881996776557802009-05-07T06:33:00.000-07:002009-05-07T06:33:00.000-07:00Hey!

You might want to check your math here:<br /><br /><I> My watch suggested it was just about 11:33 ("real people" time...really my watch read 11:39, but that is because I have it set 9 minutes fast)</I>...<br /><br />Hahahahaha!<br /><br />Man, good on you for staying at the end and cheering on your fellow runners in that freezing rain. I wouldn't have done it!<br /><br />That whole $20-per-walk-break thing is exactly why I could never be a "serious" runner. (Well ... that and because I'm slow.) Because that just seemed needlessly <I>d*ckish</I>, if you ask me, and I'm always kinda surprised when constitutionally d*ckish-type runners go outta their way to pat themselves on the back about how "accepting" of others runners in the aggregate are. Possibly they ARE ... in the aggregate, d*ckish runner - but <I>you're</I> still a <I>dick</I>!<br /><br />Last but not least ... Man, sister, I thought <I>my</I> posts were long!<br /><br />Hahahahaha! I'm just being a d*ckish runner! Great report! Congrats!Glaven Q.

I probably would have ditched them and ran the rest of the way blind.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16644559746937011062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299086143790529567.post-43251900330301240072009-05-06T17:29:00.000-07:002009-05-06T17:29:00.000-07:00I love the report Tammy.

Cold and wet, that's just evil.<br /><br />Who needs Goretex when you have trash bags and a Maid of the Mist poncho?<br /><br />Congratulations on the PR. I'm sensing a sub-4hr in the not too distant future :)<br /><br />JimJimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518039689275322948noreply@blogger.com
