Well then, not for nothing, but I looked a HELL of a lot better this time than I did last time. Hair grew in, it worked. :D -Peter _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Because I didn't want to post about it here - I'd done O'Reilly already and mentioned it here once before. I kinda felt like if I said it again, it would be bragging. I guess Lisa/Scott just happened to be watching. I just didn't wanna toot my own horn, I guess... (Someone once told me I was bragging on here, remember?) -Peter _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

With apologies to the Black Eyed Peas. Just sending out vibes and props to Swedish Celt and Vanilla Sky Girl as they continue walking across California to raise money for charity... Bethany texted me from mile 11 yesterday to let me know she was still alive. Go Celt and VskyG! Woo! Come on, people! I can't hear you! Cheer for the hotties raising money for the boobies! _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

When I was two, my parents moved them and me out of a 2 bed, 2 bath, 39th floor with terrace rent controlled apartment on the upper west side. A few years ago I did some homework to find out how much I'd be paying if they kept it and I lived in it. $323.43 a month. I cried for a week. I've only recently forgiven them. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

$3,850 per month for a two bedroom, two bath on the 30th floor of a high-rise. Parking is an extra $242.00 per month, and that's some of the cheapest parking in the city. Welcome to New York City.

Say someone needed a term for a user name on a... um... site. and he wanted it to be a unique user name. but wanted it to have something to do with skydiving. but not so obvious that the masses would get it. and it didn't have to be completely about skydiving (i.e., canopy) but could also be about the feeling one gets. i.e., dopamine, or rush, or mesolimbic pathway... and it was also a user name that would help filter out the idiots - if they didn't bother to figure out at least anything about it, why would he bother to talk to them? So... based on all that... Give me a term that would make a good user name for a dating site. For... um... My friend. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

Do you really reimburse for COFFEE?? I could NEVER be that anal - It's just not in my bloodstream. I'd shoot myself in the head before I had to keep receipts for coffee. I'm lucky I turn in my FedEx receipts. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

My tassimo costs about $30 every 9 weeks. A hell of a lot cheaper than Starbucks, and takes about 3 seconds to make. Totally worth it. And I can do it when I'm not awake yet - i.e., before I've had coffee. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

I suppose I care about what you do down there. But then... Well, I'm odd like that. Stop having dirty thoughts like that Peter! You'll ruin your concentration for the run! Or it MIGHT make me run even FASTER. Ever think of THAT, Mr. Smarty Pants? _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

On the plus side, I ate an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's last night, (Vanilla Heath Bar Crunch,) and yet, I know full well this weekend will STILL be caloric-negative. Just counting down the hours, relaxing at home... Chilling. Going to make a bit more pasta early tonight, then try and get some sleep. (yeah. good luck.) The amount of support I've gotten from everyone here has been nothing short of amazing. You guys are truly, truly, class acts. I'm so happy to have fallen in (no pun intended) with you guys, and I hope I get the opportunity to repay the kindness sometime soon. The iPod is charged... I'm gonna go pin my number on my shirt... make sure my watch is ready... And then, probably just chill tonight. Gotta be at the bus for the ride to Staten Island at 6:45. And so it goes. Two quotes: and I really, really like that one. I set Muenkel up as my 5k alert guy - I can have up to five, so it's him, mom, dad, a friend from Boston with whom I've trained, and the cell phone of the person organizing my running group's "tylenol table" at mile 22, so she can see where we are. :) Basically, it'll send a quick email ever 5k and let everyone know how I'm doing. Unfortunately, it only gives me five of them, otherwise I'd do more. So assuming he's online tomorrow, he can post results as they come in, if you guys are really that curious. I hope, for your sake, you've more to do on a Sunday than wait for my split times.

Average is around an 8:20. Trying for an 8:45/8:50 for Sunday. My best ever was a 6:24, in a one mile race. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

For anyone interested in following it on www.ingnycmarathon.com I do question the logic of putting Tylenol PM in the goodie bags - especially with something like 8,000 runners not from this country and not speaking English... What do you bet we have a huge gathering of sleeping foreign runners at mile 12? Heh... I love it. I ate lots of pasta tonight. Tomorrow night, I'll do the same. :) _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Dogs have masters. Cats have servants. I'm thinking of drugging them tomorrow night/saturday night when I need the sleep for Sunday. They ever wake up at 3am and decide, for no reason, that...
