Each place has its own advantages - heaven for the climate, and hell for the society.
anticipating the pain
O.k everyone - tomorrow… well actually today (i just got off work) I will be running 8 Tuff Miles over on St. John (that’s 1 of the 3 major islands of the US Virgin Islands). There are 700 entries and its the 11th annual race. I got the idea to sign up a couple months ago after reading about it online. I regret to announce however that my training schedule did not quite play out the way I had hoped.
I think I am going to get my butt handed over to me on a platter of pain with a garnish of regret. I know that I wont win, nor will I come close to anyone in any real shape but I am a very competitive man and I want to win that bottle of Moet that’s on the line. (see previous post)
I’ve eaten my pasta, gotten my grapes for a pre race snack and have set out my running shorts. The only thing left to do is turn in for the next 5 hours and see if I can’t get some rest.
…oh and to all my karaoke singing friends that I had to bail out on tonight. ROCK IT OUT and sing one for the fallen (namely, me) and I’ll rejoin you next Friday.

MOET! MOET! You can do it! (How much is Moet, anyway?)

Hehe, Moet at the store is like 40-50, at a bar or restuarant its like… 70-140.
I did not win the bottle though. My time was somewhere around 1:29:?? and my buddies was 1:25:?? I’ll post the official times once they are online. Overall though I am really proud of myself! It was crazy hard.

Awww. I can’t believe Moet is so expensive there. So much cheaper to get it straight from the source. I mean its not cheap cheap, but it’s still cheaper than those prices you were quoting. Sorry you didn’t win but at least it wasn’t by a lot.
