    If you commit to run, I will tell you when....:p

    IIRC, by watching the video posted, etal, it is June 17. She is probably in heavy training right now. Running with the wolves, that sort of thing. I am also in heavy training with my buds Ron Rico, Jose Cuervo, Jack Daniels -- and -- of course -- my Old Grand Dad

    I'm feeling guilty -- and old. I really would like to do something like this race -- maybe not 50 miles, but the 13.5 bit would be O.K.

    But, as I was walking up the stairs at work this morning, my knee did the old "half-buckle" with major pain routine and a quick YELP -- yeah -- not a good idea. The connection to racing in the video below comes near the end of the clip. The entire clip is only 85 seconds.

    O.K.:

    You have had your fun -- and I am having terrible problems trying to post....

    BUT, just in case you all come to your senses, there are still a few spots left to register for this race . BISCO and MENDEL and BOB WILSON could enter as a team!

    Anyway, guys, wish me luck -- from here I go into the great abyss!

    Living in the Seattle area, I assume that Dr. Bisco meant one thing and that pretty much everyone else has been left in the dark, about Peets Coffee. It is a coffee shop in the Seattle area (well, probably elsewhere, also).

    Had to say goodbye to running almost 5 years ago after a total hip replacement. Enjoy your experience.
