I don’t follow any sports except cycling either. And before that, I didn’t follow any sports either, also, additionally, too…

of course i’ve already looked up your results. the race was brutal. and it appears you made the same mistake my hubby and i did 3 years ago- walking the freedom trail the day before the marathon makes for very tired feet come monday. this year we opted to be a little more lazy on sunday. too bad it didn’t help at all.

You mean I’m not supposed to eat twice my weight in starch every day? Shoot. I’ve been eating wrong my whole life:) And way to get past your “running issues”. Mine are so bad that I cheer if I keep jogging for 3/4 of a mile! Great job.

Wife#1, do I have your email? I’d love to discuss your t-shirt idea. The more I think about it, the more I like it! You can email me at akchick55 at h-o-t-m-a-i-l dot com. Trying to fool the bots! Let’s conspire!! :)

Wife#1 you are brilliant! I second that request!! TwinSix Powers That Be please, please, please create a t-shirt like that! If TwinSix doesn’t, I might just have to look into getting shirts made and maybe we can split the costs…hmmmm, fundraising idea maybe?

Yeah, I ride like a Girl…

And Bykjunkie – H*LL NO! That is perfectly appropriate! It’s nice that you have something to look forward to! One of our local TV anchors was just in Afghanistan for a couple weeks covering one of our local military units that was over there. God Bless and thank you for your service to our country!!!!

Awesome job with Boston!!
Is it wrong to be in Afghanistan and be more stressed out about missing the registration for the 100 miles to nowhere, then anything else right now?

Great Report! I hope you can convince Twin Six to adopt Wife#1’s idea above. I would definitely buy several shirts!

Highly recommend Ashley’s link above, and then to Jeff’s link: marathon events here. Enjoy reading about an event from several points of view….and pictures too!

Lastly; …first professional baseball game ever???? Are you some kind of communist? No Apple Pie for you!

FUN! Great post. Cannot wait for Thursday.

Side note for Twin Six guys… new t-shirt request please in honor of The Hammer (though the original inspiration was a horse event, it totally works for cycling).

Yeah, I ride like a Girl…

Squee! Love these posts! :) And can I just say that The Hammer is SMOKING HOT! WOW! I’m so excited that you two finished and that you are none the worse for the wear. Can we get a race report from The Hammer’s point of view? If she has time and inclination? I so love it when she posts. :)

I’m SO excited about MON! I’m very nervous that I won’t make it in, but I am very stubborn and persistent. I get up at 3:50 am to go the gym (which should end this week hopefully or at least for a majority of the week as I’m breaking out the cross bike for commuting soon, I digress), so since I get up so early, I’m hoping to get registered then and not have to worry about it.

If there is one thing I notice with today’s posting…Fatty in the photos when you are not making a weird (comic)face you actually look better, more relaxed than you have in years. WAY TO GO, Hammer ! you get the credit.
