Tempers flared slightly then quickly subsided and in the end no one’s opinions were changed. It was fun though and it made us all think a little.
I ended up buying the fancy expensive training watch. It’s pretty sweet and works fine. I’ve been having problems with stomach cramping during runs this week which sucks. I’ve got a 5k to run next Saturday. I’ll putt through it in about a half hour or so and have a nice free t-shirt to show for it. I was thinking of signing up for another half marathon in Missouri in June but of course Mom informs me that it is on the day of the big family get together in Columbus so… I guess I wont be going to Missouri. How come nothing happens in my life for months on end but when they do it’s always on the same day and there’s a schedule conflict? Other than that I’ve got nothin’, life is average, work is fine. Nothing exciting nor devastating to report.
You could always copy and paste the substance of those e-mails on here without necessarily saying who they are from (unless you really want to). That was an awesome “mental load” to drop! Really fun to read! You should really post it…
No I don’t think so. There was just so much to it that it wouldn’t be good for this site. People broke off writing to individual people with their own responses so it would be pretty difficult to put it together in a coherent way. Not to mention the fact that it was meant as more of a private conversation than something to be posted on the net for perpetuity.
Hey, that’s cool. And thanks for e-mailing me a copy of what everyone said, it was a fun read.
