I could sure use some good karma...

How frustrating! Paying out the waa-zoo for something can really put a damper on your fun. Budgets matter.

Well, maybe you can find a way in your mind to justify the cost?

1) You are going to NATIONALS... how freaking cool is that?

2) It's money. You will earn more and pay off any debt you may have incurred by shipping the bikes.

3) This is a one in a lifetime chance that a lot of people don't get to do. You know, when I do stuff that I never expected to do... and I spend more money than I should I have... I have NEVER ONCE REGRETTED it. I always look back on the memories fondly and the money I spent seems really irrelevant.

So... good kharma to you! It's worth it! Years from now what you are paying now won't mean a thing but the memories will.

Hmm, I think the only logical thing to do is to chop off Chris' legs so he needs to ride a normal-person sized bike.

Thanks guys....I know it will all be ok, just a huge pain in the butt right now, I keep saying...just gotta get there, just gotta get there.

Kimmy, I contemplated chopping the legs off in the heat of battle last night...or better yet...who really needs wheels on their bike....

RM...there is no way I am going to qualify for Maui....I know, you all say, you never know....but unless some miracle happens and I start running sub 8 min miles during a trail race...it ain't gonna happen. That is not to say that I will not perhaps be in the top half, but they only take the top two to Worlds.

I am just going to go out, have fun and do the best I can...

[Kimmyt]

You'll do good. Tell Chris to take pictures, lots of em. We will be cheering you on. Do they televise the race? Not that I get cable, but for this I would ask a friend to TiVo.

Kimmy, it will be on, but it is taped. I will let you guys know when.

[Running Mommy]

I'm just sayin.....

(insert pic of Denise doing the hula)....

Yeah, I believe you can! Now you believe it.

Ya never know, all of the other fast girls could flat or something...
