26.2 miles----an eternity!!!!!!!!!!!! Best I ever did was 5 miles in the Atlanta "sprint" way, way long ago. I finished, but barely. It was on the 4th of July and very, very hot. Cannot imagine even attempting such a feat today. My workout is mostly weights---for tone, not bulk, like to keep my feminine shape---not compete with the jocks---and some aerobic work on the bicycle. I HATE RUNNING, but have great respect for those that do it!!! Way too much for my tolerance, or lack thereof, for pain.

BTW, there is no rest for the weary until this (blank, blank, blank) mess is turned over to (blank) once and for all. The road is L O N G with many a winding turn. These guys were not stupid. Evil, greedy, traitors. But not stupid. Chaotic by design and incredibly clever. Requires a great deal of "thinking out of the box", an artform that many believe if an oxymoron for we financial types. Thankfully, I had a great education in my many years of negotiation of acquisitions, divestitures, etc. at a former employer. Like I've said before, if anyone who knew anything had read my resume, I would never have gotten in the door. Their loss, our gain. But even harder than uncovering the trail is explaining it to my "team" so that they are equally convinced as to what they are seeing. No one wants any surprises! So my background as an algebra teacher has also been very valuable---take the complex and break it down, variable by variable, and solve one at a time, bit by bit, until you get E=MC2! (Don't know the HTML for "squared"!)

Well, no $#!+, Sherlock...whatcha doin' runnin' races in July?!

No pain...just whatever I put on my Walkman. Seriously...you wanna run fer seven miles?! Chart a course, put on a good Limbaugh 30-minute cassette, and get hoofin' it!! Seven four-minute miles later yer finishing up with two minutes left over fer the warmdown...LOL!!

I git yer drift, mi amigo.

"These guys were not stupid. Evil, greedy, traitors. But not stupid."

Sorry, my FRiend, but I heartily disagree!! Them arrogantly-idiotic Leftist Bastards were indescribably STOOOOOPID to think they could get away with what they did to this Nation!! If it wasn't you blowin' the whistle, it'd have been someone else...NO WAY all the American Patriots keep their mouths shut, no matter how much Power we've ceded to the Effete Elitists!!

"Chaotic by design and incredibly clever."

Clever, yes, and SLICK...but absolutely lackin' in WISDOM!!
