That's the main reason I'm running the Nike Women's marathon.<BR/><BR/>This was a very thoughtful post. Great race number! As Michelle noted, it's a palindrome. It reminded me of a post I wrote, comprising a fictitious interview where all the responses were a palindrome.

I wish I could be a bigger part of it, but that's the way the cheese sliced on this one. Michelle and Steve will take good care of you. Just think, if you can break 25 hours and 11 minutes you can have Y-runclub bragging rights.

A great one to pick, and the sentiment behind it is just wonderful :) I've just discovered the runner tracking site so that us homebound individuals can follow our favorites WS runners, and I'll definitely be checking in to see how great you're doing! <BR/><BR/>We'll all be rooting for you<BR/><BR/>And you should definitely keep all the hardware you earn on this one.

I am so envious of you running WS this year, what was I thinking not to apply?<BR/>On a practical side, I have no question you'll finish it well under 30. I would put you on 26-27 hr range, so plan your pace tactic accordingly. This year is going to be mild in snow and heat, what always helps. Your attitude is awesome toward the race, and you won't blow it in first 30M or so. Have Michelle and Steve take really good care of your fueling and hydration, ice. Try not to talk jokes too much - it takes energy:) I know you'll crack those around you. And yes, you have an awesome TEAM behind, you CAN NOT not finish, hear me? I remember when I wanted to drop at my first at mile 48, I couldn't imagine looking into eyes of 5 people traveling with me (from East Coast mind you) and the VCTC club waiting back home. I just couldn't. And knowing how much your friends mean to you, you will come through. And you will have fun.<BR/>100M is nothing to be feared about. It's not crazy. It's different from watching TV with a beer, but definitelly much more fun and fulfilling:)Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495431905223962790.post-33391181498200010482007-04-10T09:13:00.000-07:002007-04-10T09:13:00.000-07:00Let's reverse that number.

Eric, who calms all my prerace jitters and answers my incessant questions, Eric, who tells everyone "you can do it!", Eric, who has given his enthusiasm, his wit, and his time to runners all over the state. 121 works both ways - and in this case, what Eric has given is coming back to him.

I did not know you could request a specific number. Great symbolism. You are all so fortunate in your friendship. The crazier it seems, the more valid it is sometimes.
