While on a recent baggage expedition, it occurred to me that baggers and baguettes have a language unto themselves. For the benefit of those who are new to the Bagger Challenge and baggery, in general, I thought it would be a good idea to define some of the key terms and expressions.
When I think of personal athletic turning points, one jumps to the top of the list. I am one of the few people you might know who has run themselves to death... and lived to tell the tale.
Friends and fellow runners, I don't recommend you follow my example of being a dumb-ass about how you approach your races. This is a true story, however, and I share it to the best of my recollection.
WRT a recent review of a running book (Born to Run), I belong to a book club. For the upcoming book club meeting, each member of the club is supposed to write a little story about a "turning point" in their lives.
OK, OK. Hollyburn Peak may not be in the Challege and it may not be open season, but the 2010 Bagger Challenge is on and I bagged Hollyburn today, so bite me... I'm gonna claim first baggage of the season.
Yes, I am an April Fool. The line in the snow is for you, Legg.
The 2010 Winter Olympics have impacted my training. What inspiration! What a party!

I used to have to travel a lot for work. Most of the time I'd end up alone in a big city in a big hotel.
