FFQ: "If you can dream it you can do it."

Here's an interesting article on wicking and the latest and greatest in performance clothing. Looks like the North Face gear is still a winner. Not sure who would pay over $200 for a pair of running shorts, though.

I can't read the article. Can someone copy/paste it here?

I graduated from Furman and love downtown Greenville.

And I thought you were cool until now! (Well, you still are since you knew Will Chamberlain.) Georgia Southern Eagle here, from back in the beginning with Erk Russell through 6-National Championships. There’s not so much to brag on lately and we gave up season tickets a few years back after they moved up to The Sunbelt. So now we have more money for Disney races/trips!

We lived in Greenville when Pelham Road and Greenville Mall were on the outskirts of town and agree that downtown Greenville is a beautiful place although I’ve never raced there. DH used to do the Sphinx regularly.

Since it's been a rough week all around and @LSUlakes hasn't posted a Fun Friday Question yet, I hope he won't mind if I do!

Fun Friday Question: What is your favorite Disney quote? It can be from a movie, Walt, a song, whatever. Doesn't even have to be your top favorite, just something inspiring that may help make everyone's day better.

Now that Star Wars is in the Disney stable my favorite life quote is a Disney quote. "Do or do not. There is no try."

Try this link instead and just close the overlay. If that doesn't work you can past the article title into the Android Search bar and get a Google Redirect link that isn't behind the pay wall.

One flight please!

Believe it or not, there is some wicking going on. The better tech fabrics do move moisture from your skin to the shirt to the air. I know it doesn't seem like much, but it does happen. I definitely notice a difference between my shirts while running in the heat and humidity, with the better performers being the ones with lighter fabric and better mesh.

Oh, for sure - I wear the lightest, most ope-weave shirts I have in hot weather - MUCH better than cotton, or even rD race shirts! But unless I've succumbed to heat stroke and have stopped sweating altogether, any wicking that may be going on sure isn't noticeable, lol!

Oh fun question @jennamfeo !!

"Welcome to La Cava, may I take your order?"

I just laughed out loud.

FFQ: "This is your badness level. It's unusually high for someone your size. We have to fix that." - Lilo and Stitch Has nothing to do with running, but I find myself saying it to my cats often, lol!

 

[OldSlowGoofyGuy]

...At mile 5, you turn into Furman... The course is slightly long...

Thanks, I did not realize it went through Furman. Even more reason to do it.

LOL, I went to the website and looked at the course map, which is a MapMyRun route, even it shows the course to be 13.32 miles.

And I thought you were cool until now! (Well, you still are since you knew Will Chamberlain.) Georgia Southern Eagle...

Probably a safe bet to assume I'm never cool!

The Paladins always have a tough time with the Eagles. For those of you who don't know (and don't care) Furman and Georgia Southern have faced each other in the national championship several times.

"Have a good race and have a safe race." Also for those of you who don't know, Will Chamberlain was a local race director who died unexpectedly, and always ended his pre-race instructions with those words.

I’ve been saying that to Gantu a lot the last 2.5 months!

Because of their claws?
No, because they're macaws!

Theres a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every day...

Usually sung way off key and in front of a classroom of 6th graders. If you cant laugh at yourself and all that.

It’s kind of fun to do the impossible - Walt Disney

There are so many things from attractions I love too.

It’s the wildest ride in the wilderness! - Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

This room has no windows and no doors... Haunted Mansion

Please Stand Clear of the Doors, Por Favor Mantangese Alejado de las puertas - monorail

I know you didn’t say it was from Walt but many often believe it is. This quote is from Horizons and was created by imagineer Tom Fitzgerald.

I'll make this one mine too. I absolutely love this. I'm like a Pavlov's dog--I hear this and I just get so excited for what's to come!
