I have a question - apparently 1st through 3rd place finishers in age groups get some kind of award. I was 2nd in my age group...should I expect to receive something in the mail? Haven't heard anything yet...

Mine fit at first, but then I washed it and now it looks like - well, like the sleeves are 3/4 long and like I'm trying to fit into a kids large. Now I saw the '08 white shirts - THOSE were nice!

The countdown clock is now going the other way for me. (I have to laugh, Europe's 'The Final Countdown' is playing as I write this blog!)

This year I did Minneapolis (Twin Cities) on Oct 3, Chicago on Oct 11, and Detroit on Oct 18. It was grueling - but after I finished Detroit I felt SO good about my accomplishment. I am doing Detroit next year, but was also thinking about Niagara Falls the week after - has anyone done that one?

Hey, I get a mention in the third page! It's a sweet feeling, beating my son even though I'm 31 years older than him.

Thank you to the volunteer (young guy, somewhere near the end, handing out Gatorade) who was staring me in the eyes and handing me a cup and saying in a loud and clear voice "I see you, I see you working hard!" It was just what I needed ♥
