Elipses

Believe me, dear readers, when I say what a soft consolation it is for me to spend some time writing on Pigtails Flying right now…

A week or so ago, I received an email notification that we can all pre-order the DVD (signed by the director, no less) of The Spirit of the Marathon. It’s on sale October 7th. If you haven’t seen this movie and you are reading this blog, there’s little to no excuse for you (GO SEE IT). Yes, harsh, but if you have seen the movie I am sure you’ll be inclined to agree…. I can’t remember if I ever posted the link to the Road Running Information Center’s 2007 Marathon Report. It’s not new anymore, but if you haven’t read it, it could still be news to you…. In January 2007 I ran my first marathon, P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Marathon, and more than 20 of the miles were run side by side with KM. She’s raising money again with Team in Training, with a goal of $20,000 as she trains for the Nike Women’s Marathon. Do a good deed and donate your Starbuck’s money, willya?….

I neglected to include my usual bloggers’ race report round-up when I posted mine on the Queens Half last weekend, so here you go… Jbowers gives the visuals… Over at My Road to the 2009 NYC Marathon, this participant in the Worldwide Festival of Races spent her time “LOL”ing through the Queens Half… I’ve recently heard the term “worst PR ever,” and I think My Rambles would understand what that means, too… We all know what My First Marathon blogger Prakash is training for; and he met his personal goal last week… NYflygirl also PRed, (except not in Queens) she is fast, no joke, people….. 4:30 or Bust really struggled through the heat and humidity… Anyone else have a race report? Please post the permalink in my comments section, I want to hear from you.
