Inspiration

Go to this story for a source of inspiration for Sunday's marathon (and half marathon).

I think it was a record today.... TEN people running! It felt like a Saturday morning run! Maybe the newspaper will do a story on us NOW! At least then the guy who did NOT see the herd of runners 5 feet away from him when he PAUSED at the stop sign might get a clue that he has to be awake to drive. (BTW - I use 'herd' in the most beautiful sense possible).

Mike was in his glory because he had another guy to talk football with. However, it was short lived when he found out the other half of the Swanson team is a Vikings fan. I guess his nickname will be PackerHater. Now the BeerHater will have a com padre.

Of course there was lots of talk about the Marathon, but more talk (actually taunting) by the halvers. Just remember that we expect you be there cheering us on so we can throw our sweat laden shirts at you. And most importantly, we expect be handed a cold beer as soon as we exit the runner area. A foot massage might be nice too.
