rain, rain, go away
with the relative downpour this AM, i opted to get a few more minutes of shut eye.
while perusing the internet, i’ve found some fun stuff.
first, the site WeAreNotJoggers.com announces loud and clear the delineation between runners and joggers. among other motivational tidbits, the site cites the use of an mp3 player as a tell-tale sign of a jogger. not a bad effort by Pearl Izumi for marketing efforts. there’s a contest that you can enter to win free shoes for life…which i dropped my name in the hat for. i may be an Asics fan…but free is free.
second, i found athlinks.com which is a very "web 2.0" site that has a really neat feature. race results are accumulated at the site and you can create a profile and claim your race results. you can then ask the site to find "rivals" in the form of other runners between a configurable age/geography range. i was able to pull up a list of over 280 potential "rivals" and narrowed it down to about a dozen guys i know from the local running scene. it was interesting because the site provided a Won/Lost stat in terms of when you had raced against these rivals. way cool.
finally, a friendly reminder that no matter how warm it is outside – keep your clothes on. Priest Nabbed While Running Nude.
