I would like to chime in about the inital topic of this discussion by Irulan. I have been a lurker for some time - but have really enjoyed this forum. I have just recently started to post.

I am the runner - turned triathlete. I tell my running buddies all the time what a "feel good" group this is. I live through those of you who can bike all the time. I like to race - but am in it all for the fun of it. I take things pretty light-hearted but focused!

Keep up the fun - thanks for starting this string! Kelly
