Black knee-high boots with maybe 4-in heels.

Due to a hip injury (cycling related) I've been unable to run until recently. 7 months on IR has not been fun.

No idea. The Team in Training people seem to think so. They sent me a brochure inviting me to one of their information sessions at some point this month and the Alaska marathon was listed as one of their events. I think they'll train you and send you to the event if you raise a certain amount of money for their cause. I'm not sure I want to do that, but I'll go to the information session and find out.

I'm toying with just doing the half so I'm not too exhausted to get some other hiking in. I figure if I'm flying that far, might as well explore the place while I'm there.

I wasn't really shopping, so it was not painful. Or, these are just inherently more comfortable than the shoes I wore yesterday. Also my back has recovered from an unfortunate (in retrospect only) noir position, so my overall posture may be better today.

Good to know that the disco mitt lives on.

It's very refreshing to see. I think I now prefer it to the brazilian.

Could you diagram this for us with stick figures? Where's rimjob when we need him?

I can't remember how much Team in Training wanted you to raise, but I believe it was a pretty high number. I had a friend looking to go to Hawaii, but the time investment in begging for money was prohibitive.

I also know a woman who did the Alaska marathon a couple of times and said it was really beautiful, but really strange to start a marathon at midnight in bright sunlight.

I couldn't do it, and he wasn't there so he couldn't do it even if he were here. My back was very arched. And that was what ended up hurting. Shocker, no? Other than that, it was fun. I think he was my first married guy, but (a) I'm not positive he's really married, he could have made that up to avoid commitment issues -- but having the wedding ring visible was more intriguing than would have thought and (b) I may have been with someone married before, either w/o knowing or I just have forgotten about it.

during reverse cowgirl, I had her lean over and massage my feet. Remember I'm 6' 11".

How would that make my back arch?

ETA (christ I'm bored/unproductive) I would probably in that situation end up almost lying on my stomach on your legs and you would have to do the work.

Can someone try this out and do a stick figure drawing? I'm not sure how I'm going to be supporting myself. I think the closest I've come to this is holding on to ankles, and that's a totally different thing because in that situation, I can use the feet/ankles for support. If I'm massaging the feet, I can't be using them for support so much.

BRINY BREEZES, Fla. - The owners of nearly 500 mobile homes in one of the last waterfront trailer-park towns in South Florida stand to become instant millionaires if they agree to sell to a developer. But some are holding out, saying there are things more important than money.

"You just can't buy a way of life," said Tom Byrne, a 68-year-old retired sales executive from New York who doesn't want to sell even though he would make a little over $1 million on the trailer and site he bought two years ago for $150,000. "This is my home."

Someone should tell Tom Byrne that he can't take it with him, you CAN buy a lifestyle and that with $1mill he can have a dozen trailers.

Here.

Shortly after my divorce, I went on a date with a man I met on an internet dating site who lived in Briny Breezes. I wonder if he would be better able to afford me now.

I have a book written by the guy who wrote a training program for the NY marathon, and it outlines two sixteen-week training programs, one starting from a fifteen-miles-a-week base and the other from a twenty-miles-a-week base. The book is called The Runner's Handbook. I can't find his program on the NY marathon's site (I didn't look very hard), but I did find this link, which looks intriguing.

SFW. Not as disturbing as the Quizno moonthings, but still.

So the video of KFed getting his ass kicked on the WWE was taken off YouTube. I'll bet it was hysterical.

As soon as I saw the picture posted by NFH, I thought to myself "I bet that is at the Barnes & Noble across the street from my apartment". So, fringey, I bet it is at the B&N across the street from my apartment. It has those railings (see picture) right by the books on the second floor.

(not logged in all day because of hellacious computer issues that could not have occurred at a much worse time (two deals trying to close inthe next couple of days), but now finally logged in on brand new (to me) work computer.)

Carry on.
