Oh yeah and my goal is still the mohawk hudson river half marathon if I am in good shape. Run it with me? I still owe you like 70 some bucks I think. If Im not doing 5 mile tempos faster than 30min I will make longer term goals. Im still overweight at 168 :( gotta start starving myself in the evenings and laying off the booze. A guy in a car passing by called me fatty while I was running the other day. That was very sad.

omg! that is so awesome, thanks for telling me about the guy who called you a fatty, that made my night. you must have been so pissed! i assume you were shirtless? i don't even want to know what i weigh right now. we'll see about mohawk. i'd be up for it if i knew i had a shot at breaking 1:23 to qualify for NYC marathon i would definitely consider it. maybe i can get there in a month if i cut back eating so much. we'll see. i'm 168 as well right now after stuffing myself on chinese food. not as bad as i thought. I need to weigh 160 i think.
