I like this idea.  Are enough people seriously interested? 

I feel like such an ancient dude here (maybe joining this group at 39.5 yo explains that) but I think a group run or relay would be pretty fun.

Off the top of my head (current geographical locations being considered), start I-5 in Seattle down thru Eugene take a detour on I-505 toward my area, head down I-80/US-101 back to I-5 to pick up kj, head out to the AZ peeps on I-10, do a sort of loop-de-loop on I-17/I-40/US-93/I-15 through SLC and then back on I-80 towards the midwest (yeah, I'm a big road geek)
 

Hmmm...I think we'll need a tank of hummus and pita chips for this one

I could run to Milwaukee, take the ferry and then hit Grand Rapids.  Hmmmm.

I'm slacking on my daily posts!  I'll do better.  Ok this morning I made my 2nd run of the week.  I felt like listening to my body yesterday and took the day off and shifted my workouts by one day.  I met my weight loss goal today!  That's 4 weeks in a row I have lost 1 pound.  I bet if I can ever get a handle on my eating I will really see the weight come off the old belly.  My goal for the 5 week month of July was to go from 230 to 225. I am at 226 with 9 days to go in July.  It's time to trim da fat! 

We seem to be veering away from an ultramarathon into a road trip...

And that's a bad thing?

And I could run down to Rochester to pick up the BigGee, then we head to Milwaukee to meet Runnin? 

I did tempo today in a sweat bath.  Thigh still weird--but still gonna try for 20 this weekend.  It will now be on Sunday due to not wanting to do 20 by myselfs.

:)

     i really want to say maybe to the relay but i'm thinking thats a little crazy. right? parents?    yes? are my priorities just all screwed up?? :)

I took today off.  Didn't get a chance to visit the treatment center and talk to them about the tape.  Econo made me a van captain for our Cascades Lakes relay next weekend!  Oooooh, the pressure!

Moonie, you'll always be a young man to me!

Maples, you're kicking ass.  Great work.  Keep with it and pack a lunch to those football games to avoid the press buffet.  That always kills me because I have a hard time saying no to free food!

Missy, too unpredictable.  Results can't be extrapolated from family to family.

Good luck on everyone's Voodoo runs tomorrow or this weekend.  I'm expecting to shed a tear or two myself.  Came very, very close to doing so last Sunday during the race.

I hate you both. 

But I like the idea of a run across the country by our little family.  :)
