I was at this event, and as one of your best friends (then and now), I think you should explain why I only came to know about Rachel breaking up with you at relay for life just a few days back (and many years after the fact!). <br /><br />Now then, good work with everything. You know that you've helped me learn some of the tricks of the web marketing trade for my own musical pursuits. I'm obviousy a fan ... proud of ya buddy!<br /><br />-swam<br /><br />ps: take note that there are two specific things I remember about the relay:<br />1) while you were walking 50 miles, the rest of us walked one and then spent our time on frisbee, soda, cards, and general shenanigans.<br />2) All of us thought that you were nuts ...Sumanth Swaminathanhttp://www.sumanthswaminathan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-74527853445187612132011-05-09T12:41:16.376-06:002011-05-09T12:41:16.376-06:00Having done the breast cancer 3-day walk a few yea...Having done the breast cancer 3-day walk a few years ago, I cheer your accomplishment!<br /><br />I'd love to be the recipient of 100 writing prompts!<br /><br />Email is: blackinkpad@yahoo.com<br />Blog is: http://blackinkpad.blogspot.comBarb Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427900930871273016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-92029604764630473092011-05-07T21:32:32.928-06:002011-05-07T21:32:32.928-06:00great post!

I'm glad to share my story. Let's be nice to the ex, I don't think anybody is very good at timing in high school :). <br /><br />@Debbie - I'm so sorry for your personal losses to cancer. My good friend's mother lost her fight with cancer 2 days after the race. My dad has gotten cancer twice, but has fortunately fought it off both times. I'm always happy to contribute to this cause! And thank you for entering my giveaway!<br /><br />@Jenny - Glad you loved the post! After the 50 mile day, I pretty much did keel over. All they had to drink was soda (not great for dehydration)! But it was a great experience :). <br /><br />@Bookish Brunette - Aw, thanks. Yeah, smoking, not so good for the long distances :). <br /><br />@ Nir - Haha, it was high school, man. I could definitely write an entire book about that relationship, but in the mean time, I'm sure Swam could tell you all about it. <br /><br />@Heather - Thank you so much! I can't wait to write up the guest post. Not sure what it'll be yet, but I'll try to make it special :). <br /><br />@A-Crate - That's awesome that your sculpting is becoming a business!! I love your sculpture! Let me know if you need some Google AdSense coupons for advertising, I have a few left over :). <br /><br />@Missie - And thank you so much for checking it out!<br /><br />@Anachronist - Thanks so much for the kind words and the luck. I'm glad you share my opinion on achieving "impossible" goals :).bryandavidcohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13967519214602261976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-5748184416245647472011-05-06T14:06:00.212-06:002011-05-06T14:06:00.212-06:0035 miles without the proper preparation and tranin...35 miles without the proper preparation and traning...hats off!

I like your ideas about setting impossible goals, and then suprising yourself with what you can accomplish! I certainly did that with my sculpture I made for the Redtwist show, and now I might be on the verge of starting a new side business from it.
