Okay, for all of you dream interpreters what does it mean when I dream that I am in Chicago, get half way through the race and then stop at the half way point to help George Alliston or Chuck Gautier -- I'm not sure which one it was -- write a term paper. After three hours go by I realize I really need to get back out on the course but now am worried as I'm only half way and 6 hours have gone by.
There were some other parts to the dream that are pretty fuzzy by now, but the whole dream reminded me of those dreams where you go to class to take a final exam but haven't been going to class or studying, or those dreams where you're naked or partially dressed and find yourself at school or work. Weird stuff! The weather, though was perfect!
Hope all is well with everyone. I'm still travelling and keeping busier than I'd like. Leaving Friday for Colorado, though, so I'm a happy girl.
Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.

Marathon Maintenance more info
I just want to make sure that everyone understands my only intention in the post below was to identify those folks who are not participating in the Blues Marathon training and see if they are interested in getting together, as we can, for a group run/walk on a route of their chosing. If they are, then we would set up an email distribution and whoever is interested in setting up a route would use that list to let the group know where, when and how.
The Jackson Bike Club members routinely send out emails to its membership saying "Hey, I'm leading a ride on such and such a date, starting at such and such a time and place. Join us if you'd like". That was the model I was working on -- an informal group who wants to buddy up when then they can, but for whatever reason are not now participating with Mark's group. If I have stepped on toes or offended anyone, please accept my apologies. My only intent was to provide some mechanism for folks who "were going through withdrawal," as I heard several times in Blogs and at the Halloween party, to keep in touch and in shape.

I hope that those who are training for the Blues or who intend to train for the Chicago Marathon in '08 will do so with Mark's group as there are many, many benefits to what he provides. I certainly do not want to compete with or take away from that. I was only offering this idea for those who chose not to participate in the Blues Marathon training and who may or may not be participating in Chicago 08 -- but even if they are planning on training for Chicago are waiting for that training to start in late January.

Marathon Maintenance
I am not participating in the Blues Marathon, nor am I, at this time planning on Chicago '08. (Ask me again next January)
At any rate, I do not want to lose what conditioning I have achieved and have been managing to do some distance walking on Saturday -- 10 miles this past Sat.
At the Halloween party a few folks mentioned they were not participating in the Blues Marathon but were going through "withdrawal" of sorts from the group. So I'd like to suggest for those of us to want to continue to train as a group on Saturdays that we could create a Marathon Maintenence club. We could create an email list of those interested and someone each Saturday would take the responsibility of deciding on a route (6-10 miles), meeting place, and time and emailing that route to the group. That's it! The rest is up to the participant -- to bring their own hydration and show up at the appointed hour. The organizer is only responsible for sending out the route to the email list.
This gives anyone who is interested an opportunity on Sat. (or even Sunday afternoon if the organizer so chooses) to meet with others, visit, get some exercise and maybe we could even plan on breakfast someplace after the run.
eMail me if you're interested, and I'll create the email list and solicit "organizers" for each weekend. (Kayra, we'll even come to Hazelhurst if you want to set up a route down there!)
I will be out of town the next four weekends or I would volunteer for this Saturday. But I will handle trying to get this somewhat organized and creating and distributing the email list.
Remember, the only thing the organizer for that weekend would do is determine the route, start time and place and email the distribution to see who's interested in joining in for that day. Anyone who comes is responsible for their own hydration and should bring a copy of the route that was emailed to everyone.
I hope this makes sense. Bottom line, if you're interested email me and we'll go from there.
