I will definitely not do it if I have to ride the mountain bike again. <BR/><BR/>I am so out of the loop with cyclist community. They seem pretty tight. <BR/>If they get Lance and his buddies Matt and Jake to do it then I am definitely in.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250132017455417022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-43762531992662694292007-02-28T17:30:00.000-05:002007-02-28T17:30:00.000-05:00The mayor's bike ride to the capitol is soon-since...The mayor's bike ride to the capitol is soon-since you blew away Lala last year, would you like to ride "Lance" this year?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-28389278030984585042007-02-28T16:31:00.000-05:002007-02-28T16:31:00.000-05:00Steph, you know I can't very well start writing on...Steph, you know I can't very well start writing on the walls when I punish the kids when they do it. <BR/><BR/>Maybe you should give up beer?

Good for you on the getting up early - that is my favorite time of day. : )<BR/><BR/>You could just write the characters and outlines on the walls of your room like Faulkner - then they couldn't escape before your return.<BR/><BR/>And I was thinking of giving up blogging for Lent. It's already begun, but I've not decided what to do/not do.StephBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04643823696166648490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-52047558577112793362007-02-28T08:12:00.000-05:002007-02-28T08:12:00.000-05:00Anne Thank you so much.

I do have a few quiet times here and there that I can write/work it in. It is going to be so slow going and hard to see the big picture. <BR/><BR/>Spring is going to be hard. When it is a nice day?Who wants to sit at the computer and make up a world when the one you live in is so pretty? That will be challenge.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250132017455417022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-24580957790361078292007-02-28T08:09:00.000-05:002007-02-28T08:09:00.000-05:00CharlieNot my Suburban.

That was the day of the 7 hour playdate. We go long when it is at my house. Some people just can't stick out the whole time. Melt downs and what not.<BR/>No title but here's a hint. I am using a few lines from Sylvia's Plath's poem "Getting There" as an epigraph. It relates and supports some of the elements/themes I am working with. <BR/>I will give what I can as write without giving too much away. I have found if I talk specifics it becomes written and there is nothing left to discover and no point in writing. Make sense?<BR/><BR/>Yes, I saw the ING was full. Very excited. This will be my biggest marathon. OBX only had 1500 marathoners and Atlanta 800 the year I ran it. I may not find myself alone at all out there. That will be weird and not so lonely.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250132017455417022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-59666927595620651172007-02-28T08:01:00.001-05:002007-02-28T08:01:00.001-05:00Wes, Thanks for the support!A published story?

I need to get over that but I will worry about that later. <BR/>And yes: running and writing --they have always gone hand and hand for me. I compose in my head. If only with each footfall I could write too. How productive and prolific I would be.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250132017455417022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-8677451983952342802007-02-28T08:01:00.000-05:002007-02-28T08:01:00.000-05:00Nat, I know you can do it.

I have always thought you were a great storyteller, and I know that when you put your mind to it, you can do anything you want to - I am right there with you on the difficulty of making oneself sit still long enough to do it, and finding time with kids makes it even harder.Dogwood Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501697477604631512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-12563928594453574172007-02-28T06:56:00.000-05:002007-02-28T06:56:00.000-05:00BTW...I hear the GA ING field of 15000 runners is ...BTW...I hear the GA ING field of 15000 runners is full!

Yea, I think that's really cool. I wrote a short story once. It was even published. I luv to read too. I'm just not much of a motivated writer. Give it a go. The story and motivation are all yours.Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399853707178925175noreply@blogger.com
