I never read your diary before but something made me click on it today. Write more and I will check it out when I can find it... Where I live now has horrible internet... so it is difficult, plus time is short.

from argentum :

Best wishes. Having lost my father as well, I can relate.

from runner4ever :

Wow - you must be world-class, or close anyway. Best I ever placed was 12th in a relatively small, local 10-K when I was 33 years old, and my time was only 38:12. That, by the way, was 24 years ago. I have no idea what my pace is these days, and I'm not even sure I want to know. I didn't run for four years, gained fifty pounds, and had to diet twenty-five of them off of me in order to start running again. Then lost the other twenty-five, but I'm still thirty-five pounds heavier than I was in my racing hey-dey. Congratulations on your 1st place, and all the others. Don't kick yourself about that one race, you'll kick ass next weekend for sure.

from runner4ever :

You ought to update more. Your one entry is really good.

from runner4ever :

Hey man. I just saw you'd added me - it's good to meet another runner on this site. I'll add you & keep up with your training & coaching if you don't mind. Hope things are going well. - Andy

Well somethings in life you just don't need to have high standards for! Feel free to read and comment anytime!

from crestone :

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. I hope that you're doing well and have been running with the speed and elegance of a gazelle :-)

from ladyluck92 :

I just now realized that you listed me as one of your favorite diaries. Which was probably a while ago, because I never check those things much. Now I am curious... why??? I just think that my ranting would be boring to most people. Anyway, I just wanted to say Hi, since I noticed!

from crestone :

whoa, tough call on this one--both sound amazingly awesome. if it were me though, i'd have a hard time breaking from tradition and i'd probably do the race. you haven't missed it for 12 years and that's pretty major. plus it's not only a tradition, but a personal tradition. i think those are the most important to keep at. havasu will still be there even if the logistics of making arrangements might not happen for another year or so. regardless, either way, you're going to have a blast! i accidentally left this note on my own "notes" page. ha ha.

from crestone :

That was some excellent trivia! I love the false start to that song. When I listened to it recently for the first time in a long time, I kept thinking, 'I wonder what the false start would sound like if it was played out into a full song'--guess I always want things I can't have!

from crestone :

oh man, i just finished listening to "house of pain"--which you inspired me to do. all of these songs are SO amazing. are you also into lita ford?

from crestone :

ha, that's crazy. i LOVE that song. i saw la guns perform it live when i was like 13. even then, i KNEW it would be one i'd always like. what else is on your mix cd?

from crestone :

poor thing! on the positive side, at least you can still run on your trails. we're having some mountain lion and bear issues around here. i'm strictly sticking to suburban sidewalks!

from jennifergwl :

I just discovered you have me on your favorite list and so I decided to find out who you are. Your latest entry intrigues me. I know I am a stranger, but I would venture to say don't fight it. I know you say the feeling passes, but try to embrace and hold onto it. You might find something interesting and maybe even life altering.

from wolfish :

hey-- i know i dropped off the face of the earth. i checked my old reads and definitely missed reading up on you. drop me a line sometime! erika, aka blackndnails

from crestone :

i have a new diary now and i promise to write you back soon!

from vaguehorror :

oh. well that's not as bad, i suppose.

from vaguehorror :

i would absolutely never speak to diaryland again if my older entries were deleted!! also, i'd cry.

from when :

intense racing schedule! i hope you're taking a break now and that the break includes lots of ice and electrolyte replacement.

from when :

hi fellow runner. maybe if you were accompanying me this weekend i would have actually finished the 20-miler. what's your running schedule like?

from wednes-danny :

a semi-belated but sincere wish for a happy birthday!

from wednes-danny :

when you were younger did the world seem bigger? did it seem to be a better place or were you happy because you didn't know any better? or were you happy because the world, your world, was just small enough?

from rae-16 :

from blackndnails :

from vaguehorror :

my new entry (4/7/05): ...dedicated to youuu

from vaguehorror :

diaryland seems dead, and it scares me, so i'm going to leave everyone notes and stuff. don't leave! don't be like everyone else! ...oh, and i thought of you because i was at Santa Cruz and.. well, it's obvious why you came to mind.

from blackndnails :

thanks for leaving me a note, it cheered me. and congrats on making it to state, i know its a big deal over at our school when stuff like that happens, so way to go! and make sure you take advantage of those dating opportunities that comes across your way--i know i do, heh heh. just kidding! see you around.

from blackndnails :

heh, thanks for the note. you'll think of something for the holidays. hey, you live in az, right? i could make you some cookies and fed-ex 'em. and i make damn good cookies, if i say so myself. and i do. lol. take care.

from duckymonkey :

That was totally the reason you went to the volleyball games -- sweaty girls. 'I like volleyball' -- pah!

from duckymonkey :

Hey you with the wedding dress on, the white chiffon blowing in the wind. Hey you with dreams in your head, you've been so misled by your heart's pull.

from blackndnails :

heh heh, yea, Jerome is good times. when we went up there, we met this guy who was walking around town drinking coke out of a brown bag and wearing a green dress. this other guy insisted on talking to our crew, telling us how he cut off his finger and then ceran-wrapped it, and that's why its still attached to his hand. yea, jerome is good times indeed. check out the Grand Hotel if you get the chance. we shot our film there. it used to be an old mental facility/hospital. creepy place. have fun!

from pariahpoet :

I was just in the Durango-Silverton area camping a couple weeks ago. A marmot ate the engine out of our car. Have you ever been to Upper Mineral campground? I think that's the one. It's a few miles out of Silverton. Oh and the coffee shop on the main street in Silverton has awesome Italian cream sodas.

from duckie2397 :

sounds like you had an awesome vacation:)
