You know Scott's ultimate goal is to beat you in a race!

So, can you REALLY get me in next week? I am seriously debating it. Scott says, "Screw the foot and what the dr's say and just get s hot and then run."

From Julie on Sat, Aug 22, 2009 at 17:53:48 from 174.23.49.25

You are such a nice guy to pace Teena. You both did awesome.

From Matt on Sat, Aug 22, 2009 at 18:18:50 from 71.32.236.231

Walter I didn't see your name on the list or else I would have looked for you. Congrats on helping Teena I don't think I can count this as beating you yet though.

From Maurine/Tarzan on Sat, Aug 22, 2009 at 18:30:29 from 97.117.63.224

Great job on supporting Teena and being a pacer!

From Teena on Sat, Aug 22, 2009 at 19:15:46 from 67.177.20.13

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Seriously, I don't think you know how much I appreciated your help. You really helped me figure some things out in my head. Next trick ... teach me how to run through the aid stations!!! :)

Please tell Misty thank you for me a million times!

The $250/hr I paid you to pace me was the best money I have every spent!!! Bargain!!! :)

Seriously ... I appreciated it so much. (Did I say thank you???)

You are incredible!!!

From Walter on Sat, Aug 22, 2009 at 20:18:40 from 76.27.15.208

Kelli, it appears that Scott finally got his wish!

Julie, Thanks alot. I really enjoy doing a race every once in a while like that. It amazes me to get the perspective of what its like watching the fast runners take off and run away from us! Unfortunately helping Teena came with a price. Not! lol I told her to do some advertising for me. I really would only charge $80 an hour plus entrance fees. haha

Matt, I was right in front of Teena a 1:37:36 or something like that. My name was Emily. Yes I was one that screwed up the order. But if you think about it, there were a lot of people who didnt make it in and those that never showed up. I helped Emily PR also! haha

Marine, It was fun to do that. Always would do it for anyone if it fits in my running schedule.

Teena, Im going to pay my cell phone bill now with all that hard earned cash! haha Tell Emily she ows me big time for that PR! :)

Nicely done Sir Walter, nicely done.

From Snoqualmie on Sun, Aug 23, 2009 at 09:25:06 from 24.18.192.33

It must be fun to have so many friends at your races. Good job!

From Sue on Sun, Aug 23, 2009 at 12:37:21 from 75.169.67.110

Sorry I didn't hear you talking to me. I am new to running with an ipod but have discovered that I love it! Good to see you. I would love to see you do your top speed thing one of these days at a race.

From Walter on Sun, Aug 23, 2009 at 13:01:39 from 76.27.15.208

Wow MrsFit! You did a great race yesterday. I want to get back into the water and do more biking! I think next year will be the year.

Snoqualmie, you would not believe all the bloggers that were there yesterday! Ive never seen a race with so many familiar faces! It was a family reunion!

Sue thats ok! It was funny because I said have a good race and you didnt respond, so I kind of yelled, "Sue"! and you still didnt respond. haha Thats when I knew you had that music cranked. Im glad you introduced yourself its always good to meet new faces! Great race again!

From Mike Warren on Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 01:42:13 from 208.117.124.133

Walter, very cool of you to pace Teena. Fun to see her get that PR! Also, that pic where you look like a giant. You can take one with me, that will shrink you a bit, lol.

From Shimelle on Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 11:46:39 from 75.162.241.212

Hey, you forgot something, ME!:) Yeah, I tried to keep up with you, which I did until mile 9 but then just didn't have it in me. You are so nice to pace people though. It really helps to have someone telling you that you CAN do it.

From Walter on Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 20:39:13 from 76.27.15.208

Mike, I shouldve hunched down a bit like Scott did. Im only 5'10"! She makes me look like im in the 7' range haha.

Michelle, I couldnt have forgotten you!? You did great! I actually kept looking back to see if I recognized anyone to help them get up to me. It was cool to see everyone there at the start though! So so many people!

From josse on Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 23:11:50 from 70.193.224.116

What a great pacer, you even let her come in before you. What a gentleman:)
