Runner Email 15 November 2007

Decompression! Finally getting all the bills paid, all the stuff back into storage, and I can actually walk through my living room again!

Thank you all for the great comments on the marathon! I've posted a bunch of them to our web site, but also a lot of people have posted on Marathon Guide as well.

Now, a word from a couple sponsors...

And, also in the pre-holiday "Hint, Hint" department, you might discretly forward this email to a loved one and let them know about the 26.2 or 13.1 commemorative bottles of wine from Finish Line Wine. What a great way to preserve the memory. Check it out at http://finishlinewine.com/

OK, enough opportunities to spend money for the moment, or you'll start thinking we're like all those other marathons or something. :-)

Some people are asking when 2008 signups will start. The answer is sometime after December 19th. The reason we're waiting so long is that today I'm leaving the country and won't be home until then. If anyone really wants to know why, you can check it out at www.cooladventures.net/sevencontinents.htm.

I'll be blogging the trip. Feel free to follow along. At the very least it'll be a geography lesson. Does anyone know where Beirut is?

Have a great holiday season, Happy Thanksgiving to all you Americans.
Anyone else running Atlanta next Thursday?
and the adventure continues....
