Tigerchick,

I like fall running too.

On a side note: I was looking at your sig, and the second line says that "Lion has to outrun the fastest gazelle or it will starve." But in reality, doesn't the Lion just have to outrun the slowest Gazelle???

Me too. I'm usually kind of banged up from a summer of racing and should take more time off from running. It's really hard not to run in the fall. For me, some of it is the memory of cross-country in high school and college.

Where can I get that hat at? I need to get one for my coach; he's Canoodian.

Awesome! Problem is that that hat only comes in child sizes. Damnit!

ya know, I love running in all seasons, but fall is quite fine I must agree..

<rant on>
I take issue with your signature.. lions hunt at night, not in the morning; they hunt by ambush, not by running their prey down. That little homily from some moronic business-empowerment-lipservice-instead-of-real-thinking company annoys the pee out of me every time I see it. In the morning, the gazelles may safely graze around the lions, who are probably lounging happily near the carcass of last night's dinner. The time to worry is when the sun goes down, and running doesn't help..
<rant off>

"It is a good feeling for old men who have begun to fear failure, any sort of failure, to set a schedule for exercise and stick to it. If an aging man can run a distance of three miles, for instance, he knows that whatever his other failures may be, he is not completely wasted away." Romain Gary, SI interview

Lame joke:

Two guys camping on safari in an African reserve are sleeping soundly in their tent when they are woken by an ear shattering roar terrifyingly close to their tent. They nervously put their heads through the flap and see the unmistakable shape of a lion prowling at the perimatere of their camp. It roars again.

Both men leap back into the tent one starts shaking uncontrolably: terrified he looks across at hic companion to see him calmly lacing up his trainers.

"You Idiot!" he hisses "Do you think they're going to make you run faster than a lion?!"

"No" says his mate cheerfully - "But they'll sure make me run faster than you."



I'll be here all week.

it doesn't sound as good if you say "slowest" gazelle

but yeah, technically you're right. :P

Yeah, probably.

I'm not running today (swim double! and a massage) - tomorrow he's giving me a new training schedule, month one of marathon training for Hyannis. So I'll be back 'on a leash' then.

He told me outright the other day "you are a very difficult person to coach." I didn't disagree.

Yeh, I second the photos of the area. I have spent 7-10 days in Bar Harbor every September for many years but have never been there at any other point in the year. It would be great to see how it progresses into winter. Kinda think it may be different than it is here in Houston.

Playing by the rules is only one aspect of sportsmanship. The rules do not always encompass all the values by which we want to conduct ourselves. There is no explicit rule about winning and losing with grace. There are no rules about having integrity. There are no rules about treating each other with respect. Yet all of these things are paramount to winning itself and all of them can actually enable a person to gain from sport all it has to offer.

I'll look like a tourist if I go snap fall pics! I'm not a tourist, I live there! Can't look like a tourist, that's bad.



I'll get some of us running, next time I'm there - will be the end of October.
