The Other Bill:  Part I      (3 miles)

“Here is the three-miler route for Tuesday:  http://www.usatf.org/routes/view.asp?rID=199921   I’m feeling under the weather so I’m not sure if I’ll be there.  I didn’t provide for water on the long run.  Shame on me.”   Bill P.


The Other Bill:  Part II    (6 miles)

Bill Pattinson thinks that you should check out the workout he/she just plotted online:   http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-states/ia/ames/104649453

Bill Pattinson says, "Hi George: Kindly share the (hopefully)attached run with all our Vardo Friends. Depending on my then state of health, I may be present to run a few of those miles. I didn't provide for water given the route's length and the ambient temperature. That, and I was too lazy to come up with a better plan. I'll develop a three-miler (Editor’s Note:  See above) for those who, like me, may not feel like contributing a longer effort. The Other Bill"


A Message From An Injured Vardo

“Gimpy Walnut Lady just wanted to say "hi" to everyone.  I sure hope I am healed by Spring so I can run again.  Perhaps in time for thunderstorm runs on Saturday mornings.  Hope I am not on the schedule for planning runs.  Probably Chrissy will cover for me if I am.  Just wanted to say "hey"

The Winter From Hell:   How I Lost My Girlish Figure

Well, the signs were all there.  And I should have known. The Dockers were getting a little snug. Mr. Delaney would drive by in the morning, and not wave, and I’d get all emotional.  I was craving El Azteca for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And I’d write sentences and leave out the periods 

So you add it all up:  Heavier, weepy, craving food, and missing periods.  Yes, Vardos, I’m pregnant.  So stop calling me fat.   gjk
