finally got the Internet working- we had three routers and a mess of wires left to us and it took a lot of grief to get it all working-
glad to see about the 1:11:32 race- that is great positive reinforcement that you are doing the right sort of things-
congrats for such blazing times at andrea's race- i was happy to see mostly all of those times
training here is going full bore- we are either doing 13 in the morning and 5 at night or else 12 in the morning and pool workouts at night- i believe we will be at about 85 for the week and hold that until late september-
thingyinson is out, that weekend is open, so i might be able to make it back for GAR- i will let you all know (if i dont run it then i will certainly come watch)
have fun at gary brown and in the neighbor country- DAN

As you found out Dan, we try to block any allusions toward homosexuality or homosexually related activities. I wonder why it said "thingyinson". Would have made more sense to say "tallywackerinson" or purpleheadedyogurtslingerinson". Now, let's see if the filters pass the test....

And it looks like they fails miserably. Apparently, computers do not comprehend sexual innuendos, or as translated here "inn-your-endo"

90.5 miles in 6 days
lots of classes
lots of clubs and other responsibilities
yearnings for sunday long runs with the crew
unexpected crankiness
uncertainties about the months to come (25:15?)
...
everyone loves the first day of school- hope that everyone is doing well in the homeland- congrats on gary brown- a telephone call will be made soon, keep getting ready for the show- i know you all will do well

Dan sounds like things are going well. I'm excited to see how things pan out for you.
How were the mountians of Maine?, better question did all the girls have red hair?
see you in about a month right?
how is training in the land of cumber? Jaron I hope has recovered from that dreadful tempo. I don't think I have yet.
let me know
yours truly Michael Vick

Keep up all of the hard work there Danny Boy.
Jordan - I had decided to forget about that tempo, but now that you mentioned it, it will haunt my dreams for months to come. Nothing could have been that brutal!!!

today was a good long run:
14 in 86:24 for a 6:10 pace
felt good to pound for a bit- the team looks good i think- we open on friday at a 4000m race in allentown- since our normal first race got moved back this year, we had to add in a race in order to comply with some NCAA regulation
the freshmen are proving to be quite good guys and talented, too, and i think with any luck and a lot of courage we might get a team average around 25:40 by near the end of the year- if that doesn't get us what we want for this year, then we will be in a great spot for next year as we only lose one senior
on the academic end, today i was sitting in my third consecutive 75 minute lecture....as the teacher was explaining the influence of native americans on the start of american architecture, my neck almost broke as my head cracked back during a particularly violent nap....not to mention i kept hallucinating that the side of my professor's head was mutating into a goblin.....
maybe if they just installed stadium seating into those hot classrooms....then i might be able to stay awake, or at least have goblin-free nightmares
we hit ~85 in 7 days this week and then probably hold around that for most of september- no injuries to speak of at this point, just a mounting excitement that this might be the season i really make a jump!
my confidence will be sky-high until i see jordan at paul short and he beats me by 90 seconds despite a personal PR of nearly a minute....gotta love those syracuse guys-
thats all for now- rob, simon bairu on the side of the track is just another reason why you should never become NCAA XC champ- personally i am going for the role of sileshi sihine, who loses to bekele every time but still has PR's in the 12:40's and 26:30's- underrated, but still NASTY....p.s. i suckered one of my teammates (the one going for the 71:30 half) to buying the ruby red slippers- i'll let you know the result as he races this weekend at the virginia beach rock'n'roll half

Dan,
I will say this I enjoy reading your posts. I propose you start a thread and write everyday for everyone to enjoy.
unfortunately I doubt that you will be disappointed at Paul Short. I have been in an unbelievable slump.
Three workouts so far, all three not so hot.
The only good thing going so far is the great weather here in upstate NY.
Jaron--- you racing soon?

I get to race again at the end of September at our cooler neighbor to the north. Then GAR the week after that and then Marine Corps at the end of October. 5 hard weeks of training before GAR and then we'll see where I'm at. The race in Canada won't be a good gauge of fitness since it is cross-country and I don't think the competition will be so great.
Jordan, when is your first race this year? Glad that you like the weather up there, but wait until December - maybe by then you will have become a professional snowboarder!
