Those about to rock (or post)

Ginet is always kind enough to proofread my posts. As she proofread the previous one she said, "I don't sound like a very supportive wife." That's not a true statement, she's very supportive, but also honest and frank with me, qualities that I appreciate, and sometimes rashly ignore. I asked if it would help if I ensured everyone knew she was definitely a member of the syndicate (a marathon under her belt, the Wasatch Back, a variety of half marathons, 10/5k races, a childbirth* x 4). To which she replied, "No, cuz it's stoopid." And she said it just like I spelled it.

Anyway, here's a short list (in no particular order) of folks who I know have paid their hard earned money to race, and who I hope will post:

Ginet's family
My family
D&L Ransom**
D&A Bills**
J&S Burns** (Weapons School is not an excuse not to post!)
Derek Kirkham
Days of Santa Barbara
K Howells**
M Christensen**
A Kingfisher**
T Fontaine (Todd's got some 24-hour race cred!)
R Egbert (Don't think you're exempt. We know you've paid two entry fees this year!)

It's not exclusive. Spouses are invited to post too. I also welcome other folks I may have forgotten about. I've got a raging case of early-onset Alzheimer's, so just because you're not named doesn't mean you're not invited. I know there are some lurkers who paid money to run the Provo Freedom Festival (who live in Riverton) out there who never comment but who are welcome to post.


*I neglected to mention in the maiden post of this blog that giving birth to a child grants you automatic lifetime membership.
**Founding members of the Montana Chapter of the Syndicate

I'm glad I have a lifetime membership thanks to Claire. I'm not sure when I'll pay to run!

Hooray! Finally a way to still train and race "together" while scattered over the planet. (Oh, and we want our two asterisks.)

As a discussion starter, I would love to hear input about heart rate training. Pro's, Cons, experiences, suggestions?

Also, I think it's time to put out a new Syndicate CD!
