Sam - you know what's wierd? I seem to sleep really deep when it rains. Good thing I don't live in the UK.

Eric - so I have. So I have.

Nice run, uphill and against the wind. I had the same issues on mile 8 today and it slowed me down a lot more than you. Good job!

Your new pic kind of reminds me of Homestarrunner's one-legged dog "li'l brudder" :)

WOW, these last two days you have been BOOKING IT!!!!! Holy crud, Mr Speedy Pants.

No messin' with ladies at the stop lights, you could have given her a heart attack!

Thats weird sleep when its raining, id be sleeping all the time over this end of the world! nope I just cant sleep at all at the moment, hence by the time it gets to the morning I cant get outta bed!

RT - I'm not familiar with that show. I think I look more like a chicken trying to lay an egg.

Kelli - I ran slow today just for you.

Sam - I stay up late so I can watch my PG-13 movies after my kids have gone to bed. (I'm sure the UK movie rating system is different than the USA.)

Homestarrunner.com is an Internet cartoon site. The "Strongbad emails" are the best: http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail.html
