It does have a nice ring to it... perhaps this will be my new handle until next year.
Bubba1, At first I thought you were being sarcastic (hardy har har), but then after seeing the other legit votes, I think you meant well. Thanks for the vote of confidence. However, you must be one who likes movies like Hoosiers or Rudy, where the unlikely guy/team wins, cause there's NO WAY I can agree with your vote. I can think of several off the top of my head that should have gotten your vote. I am just a fan of running, and the striving for improvement. Thanks again, though. This upcoming year, I'd gladly let someone else claim your MVP, while I'll vie for the 3rd award on your list (best race performance... this is obviously on a relative person by person basis, no?).
Democrat, I totally understand where you're coming from... I don't offer much new. I wanted to take this opportunity, though, to say that I ALWAYS have found your writings truly inspirational and above refute. My only disappointment lies in that this utmost respect for you that I am expressing is largely minimized (in your point of view) because I have nothing particularly useful or thoughtful to say. Oh well!
