Whoop, whoop and hooyah! The Celtic green billiard marking the SIXTH million of this season is just one accolade Barbara has in her stash of earned trophies. There's all those finisher medals for the Boston Marathon, gallons of marshmallow fluff, and ... well...the infamous nude run. Yep, on April 21st bg will once again run the streets of Boston to participate in the world's oldest marathon (I think that's right), and help "take back the finish line." Last year there were 23,000 participants, and this year it is projected that there will be 36,000 participants...and we will know bg by her Luna-Tics written down her left arm (or at least she's done this in previous runnings). Takes a lot of courage and strength to do a marathon...whether you're sitting on the erg seat or running on the pavement. And it's not the first time that a sporting event has been used to overcome fear and dread in the Boston area. The Boston Globe today wrote about the race run in 1917, when there were fears that there would be a German attack on the waterfront of Boston. Then, too, the city turned out strong. It is expected that in addition to one-third more participants, there will be TWICE as many spectators along the historic finish line...ONE million are expected. Seems appropriate that we talk about the millions of meters that bg has achieved, too.

So, well done, Barbara on getting across this 6th million meter finish line! We wish you many, MANY more finish lines in your journeys!

[Drivetofast]

CONGRATS and Gooooooooooooooooo BG

[Kona2]

Whoop, whoop and hooyah! Seems fitting that Danno should also hit a meter milestone to celebrate today! He's another teammate who somehow, some way always finds a way to get those challenges done, and crank out the meters! Congratulations, Danno, on achieving TWO million meters this season (for yet ANOTHER year). We wish you many, MANY more !!

And, egad....things are on the move at the individual level for the WEC ! Adam is still leading the pack, with Darlene closing the gap a bit. Meanwhile, Richard T has been rammed out of third spot by the first of two Ramming Speedsters. Not by much, though, so we'll see if RT catches him on the second lap. Great performances by everyone...no matter where you rank in the contributions. Unless it's zero, and then you better get a move on...

Wow, so much news!! I want to add my congratulations to Adam, Michelle, Christa, bg, Danno, Ed, Gene and Tristan.
And well-wishes to Baz and Ron.
Ron, I think I can see the limp:

But now I have to wonder if the search for the better seatpad could be replaced by the search for a mo' pow'ful resuscipe.
