Yeah, I’m thinking it’s more cucumber than pickle.

Re: lack of tracking for CIM – Pooh! Yeah, as soon as I wrote that one of the ladies in the Women’s BQ thread mentioned no tracking, which surprised me because 4 of those gals are running, plus you…I figured it was a big, fancy-ass race. Cool that it’s not, even if it does take my morning fun away.

Are those pickles real? They’re monsters! I look forward to learning about the pickle-finding part. Good luck to Jackie, fellow J-person and simultaneous marathoner. (Close, anyway. I think mine starts a half-hour later, at 7:00 am PST) I don’t think there will be tracking for my event, although they do have chips. You may have to wait till I can drag my weary self to a keyboard on Sunday.

Thanks Mir, I’m going for it. Those pickles better watch out!

And thanks, you guys, for my friend’s well-wishes. She said when we saw her how loved she felt from this whole mess, so she’s probably feeling some of your caring vibes, too.

I’m so glad your friend is okay and recovering well!! The “Pickle” series sounds like fun, you should try it.

It’s a J Day! Jackie, meet Jim, Jim…Jackie. You’re both running marathons this weekend, albeit different ones (Jim is CIM, Jackie is Tucson). So YAY to both of you, first off.

Jim, check out this July pickler. Here’s the pickle partying.

The pickle scoop goes “On top of that we will play Hide the Pickle and if you get one, you will get the option to change your predicted time by drawing a card out of a poker deck. (ex. if you pull a 7 of hearts you can add or subtract 7 minutes from your time). Gotta love it.

Jackie, this is my first year embracing the weather. Someone mentioned these races last year and I was like, “no way…gonna have to drive to them and it’ll be cold.” Now I’m all “hey, only 35 minutes away and what’s a little chill?” Hugs to you too, girl, don’t you be catching no cold now, y’hear??

I am so happy to hear your friend is doing well. I’m hoping the visits lifted her spirits. I say sign up for those races. They sound like a lot of fun. You make running in your elements (cold, rain, etc.) sound like a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day! Hugs to you and your friend!

Now, prediction racing I understand, even if I’m not much good at it. But pickles? Do they hide them on the course of something? Inquiring minds need to know!
It’s good to hear that your friend is doing so well, Flo.
