All present, please raise your hand...

MacElroy wears high heels. Does that count ?

i enjoyed your Indy report. i had read that a runner had died, and so was
especially interested in your first-person account. plus, it was a great
narrative! as for me, i am benched for a while due to knee injury. but i am
interest in "female" issues of over-use injury, alignment, and impact issues.
have you some pearls of wisdom? :)

Me too!
OK, I'll fess up. I'm not really a woman. In fact I
sometimes doubt whether I'm even human. But I do run.
So, can we please have a runner-but-probably-not-human
category? Me 'n' Wobbot are in it for starters. I think the
kitz-babe will be joining us shortly.
Point of interest for those of you who recall my complaint
regarding leaking Mizunos. Talked to one of their UK reps
who confirms it IS a problem about which they've been aware
for some time. Water is drawn, via capillary action, between
elements that make up the sole/midsole/inner, resulting in
wet tootsies when running on a wet surface. SO THERE!
Another point of interest for those of you who've missed me.
Estonia stinks. No, really, it does. Of fish and stuff.
Running there was like running back in the late 70's.
Everyone stops, points, and laughs at you (or is that just
me that this happens to?). Having said that, if you get the
chance, go there. The people are lovely.
Whilst I was swanning around the Baltic I also stumbled into
Sumi-land (ask Anders). Now that place is REALLY strange.
Roger. Or Caroline.

Female here, but no special pearls of wisdom on those
topics. Are you in Virginia? My first "big race" goal is
going to be the women's trail half-marathon in northern VA.

This kind sir remains to be proven. If you would care to
provide a web page showing time and name we might bite.
Until such time you are a fun maladjusted read.

Welcome back. Hope you get to New York one of these days. If
you can still kick my butt at your age, you're damn good, so
you can do all the dancing you like.

Yes, but that would probably make you ineligible for the
masters records (-;

Seems to be an issue with well-ventilated shoes in general
(esp the ones with ventilation underneath the shoe). Step in
a puddle and the sole is drenched. The Asics Gel Magic has a
similar problem.

To do so, Douglas, may mean the end of me. There are many
who would do me serious mischief if they could.
Anyway, we always end up dancing around the reality/fantasy
Usenet poster argument. You prefer to regard Usenet as a
meeting of like-minded individuals, hell-bent of swapping
useful tips and providing motivation for the woolly-headed.
I maintain that Usenet is a frivolous playground for the
bored, the mischievous and the insane (and yes, I'm probably
all three).
Besides, which race results are 'me'? The ones from ten
years ago, or five, or a few weekends? Y'see, I don't matter
a heap of beans anyway. I run around. I post on here. I have
fun. I think we should leave it at that.
Anyway, "how *you* doin?" old boy?
Caroline. Or Roger.

It has to be admitted, it's been pretty dull round
here of late.

It's just you; you really should leave the tutu at home.
They lob rocks at
me. ;-)

What? That he/she's female, human or a runner? ;-)

It'd be a waste of time Doug. You could argue about the
validity of any web result.
Having said that, this *might* be a result of his. http://w- (http://w-/)

Hmmm, interesting to note how many men posted to this thread
;)

It is. It's one of a series of orienteering races I ran as
"Roger Hunter". You may even find that "Roger Hunter" won
their summer series a year or so ago. Boy, am I *HOT*!
Having said that, I should admit that my performance this
evening was piss-poor. I got *totally* lost and spent 20
minutes finding one control. Ho hum. The upside was that I
met the delightful Roos from uk.rec.running. She's *very*
nice and I feel rather bad about anything cruel that I may
have said to her in the dim, distant, past. She had the good
grace to 'forget' any of my misdemeanours, and I was mighty
impressed by this elegant, courteous, and pretty Dutch lady.
I may run the remainder of their summer races as 'Caroline',
if they'll let me. That'll give you something else to waste
your time searching for :-)
As an aside, Dundee Runners were having a training session
at the same location as our race this evening. One knowing
soul spent the best part of ten minutes trying to persuade
me to join their club - he recognises talent even if young
Douglas can't :-) (I refused his offer. I like my
'unattached' status these days.)
Caroline. Or Roger.

That's my fault. I'm a highly attractive woman. Those seedy
guys keep chasing me.

Why? Ever since I had the op it fits me *perfectly*.

That's because you're ugly, Timmy. They'd lob rocks at you
merely for walking, let alone running.
Excellent race result at Speyside, btw. Seriously, I was
impressed. It's a tough course and your placing in the field
astounted me. I've started to think that you may be a runner
after all.
Golly, I couldn't have been *totally* wrong about you all
along, could I?
Caroline.
