All systems are go. Welcome to the blog.

From PRE on Mon, Oct 04, 2010 at 18:57:20 from 99.50.214.225

test two.

From Burt on Mon, Oct 04, 2010 at 19:23:18 from 206.19.214.144

We have lift off.

From Predog on Tue, Oct 05, 2010 at 01:15:37 from 24.10.140.186

Arm Phasers. Prepare to fire.

From PRE on Tue, Oct 05, 2010 at 07:17:54 from 99.50.214.225

Hey thanks Burt. When you wrote, I thought you were part of the internet management blog team. I did not realize you were a runner.

Hello Predog.

I'll check your pages out soon Burt and Predog.

From Burt on Tue, Oct 05, 2010 at 10:45:59 from 68.225.214.248

Haha! Sorry about that.

If you want to check out a real runner's blog, go to PreDog's blog. If you just want to see a goof ball, you can check out mine.

From PRE on Tue, Oct 05, 2010 at 11:06:41 from 204.60.75.185

Hi Burt,

Checked out your blog and Predog's blog. Burt, your 1600s and 5Ks are better than my times. Your longer runs are about the same as mine from a time perspective. I will soon enter my race results to my blog. And then if you like you can check them out. Is this the proper way to speak to people? By entering the message into my blog? Or should I go to your page and enter the blog?

From Burt on Tue, Oct 05, 2010 at 12:39:54 from 68.225.214.248

Ah yes. I'm pretty speedy on shorter distances, but with my weight, I tend to burn out over the longer distances. I also need to run more base mileage.

As for speaking to people on the blog, you can type a comment in your blog or type one in somebody else's. What you don't want to do is if someone asks you a question on your blog, don't go answer it on their blog. Keep the conversation in one place. Looks like you're getting the hang of it.

From Kelli on Tue, Oct 05, 2010 at 12:55:57 from 71.219.65.246

Welcome to the blog. I see you have met Burt, resident goofball, speedy miler, very hairy chest....

From Mack on Tue, Oct 05, 2010 at 14:34:42 from 71.111.186.66

Welcome PRE! Glad to have you here.

From PRE on Tue, Oct 05, 2010 at 14:43:01 from 204.60.75.185

Thanks for the lesson on blogging Burt.

Hi Kelli and Mack.

From allie on Tue, Oct 05, 2010 at 20:00:16 from 174.19.51.35

greetings, PRE. congrats on the successful launch, and good luck this weekend.

From Kelli on Tue, Oct 05, 2010 at 21:21:51 from 71.219.65.246

Just do not take too many lessons from Burt, could prove fatal.

From PRE on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 08:18:04 from 204.60.75.185

Thank you Allie. I enjoyed reading your blog pages. Hi Kelli. Will check out your page soon. I have read a lot of blog pages...so am not sure if checked it out already. Getting an idea on how the site works.

From Kelli on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 09:26:55 from 71.219.65.246

Careful, it can become an addiction!

From PRE on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 13:07:14 from 204.60.75.185

Anyone who is interested: please consider plugging the top three words into your search engine. Then select the first link which should be ABTA. Be warned, this is related to the Chicago Marathon and fundraising for the American Brain Tumor Association. If you choose to donate, any amount at all is appreciated. Apologies ahead oftime if this is inappropriate to post on this website.

From Burt on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 13:18:33 from 206.19.214.144

I don't think it's inappropriate. You might consider putting a link to it under your profile information.

From Kelli on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 13:26:13 from 71.219.65.246

Not inappropriate at all! Running for a cause is the best kind of running. I will go check it out this afternoon when I have some time. Thanks.

From Scott Wesemann on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 13:48:07 from 66.239.250.209

Welcome to the blog. I agree with Kelli RE Burt. Just be careful. He does have the nicest chest hair on the blog... errr I mean he did. Now he has the BEST Brazilian wax...

From PRE on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 13:48:29 from 204.60.75.185

Burt and Kelli, thank you very much for your comments. I was very concered about posting that and even thought it might be grounds for my being removed from the site...which is why I checked back. If someone familiar with this site remarked that I should remove it, then I would have. So your comments are much appreciated. Thanks again.

From PRE on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 13:49:12 from 204.60.75.185

Thanks Scott also.

From PRE on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 13:59:34 from 204.60.75.185

Burt I took your advice about adding the link under my profile information. Thanks.

From allie on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 14:22:24 from 161.38.218.168

the site may explode at any moment. proceed with caution.

i am teasing. you are doing great, PRE. if posting that link is grounds for removal, well, then none of us would be here anymore. especially burt.

From Burt on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 16:52:32 from 206.19.214.144

What the heck allie? Now I'm not going to buy your magic berry juice.

From auntieem on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 23:31:46 from 67.185.78.7

Hi, and welcome to the blog! Already told you this on my blog, but the Chicago marathon made a mistake, and didn't give me my coral C, so I'm in the open race! Best of luck on the event!

From nevels on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 09:33:57 from 155.74.2.253

i'm with allie on this one... if getting kicked off this blog were that easy, several of us would be long gone...

(back to scheming about how to surreptitiously make trouble...)

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 09:52:48 from 71.219.65.246

I think I may be the only one who has actually been threatened.

PRE, maybe you should stay away from us. Can you tell we are the unruly crowd?

From nevels on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 09:58:55 from 155.74.2.253

the running historian in me has to love the irony of our warning "Pre" about our "bold" behavior...

From KP on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 10:42:12 from 65.208.22.25

y'all are all a bunch of trouble makers... every last one of you!

oh sasha...

From PRE on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 14:10:49 from 204.60.75.185

Love reading your comments guys and ladies. And when I look at your blogs, it does seem that I really get to know you.

So I see you all have real names. Mine is Pat. I just figured when you join a blog you had to pick a different name. So why not Prefontaine?!!!

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 14:12:13 from 71.219.65.246

Mine would be Kelli, for real, kind of. ;o)

From PRE on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 14:21:34 from 204.60.75.185

So I have a question for the group.

What percentage of the time do you think it is that people run even splits for the entire marathon...or mostly even splits? I am going to try running even splits during Chicago...but may crash and burn.

From PRE on Fri, Oct 08, 2010 at 12:30:33 from 99.50.214.225

actually i went to the discussion forum and made the post. But then saw there were similar posts related to the above topic.
