Make lots of friends, drink good beer, run foot races in Bolivia!<br /><br />Bro, I don't know how I could have left off Buenos Aires (one of these things, is not like the others..). Kind of a unique tally you have there, that makes three finishes in the southern hemisphere to only two in the northern hemisphere. None in the Estados Unidos. <br /><br />I hear you regarding the water, but I tell you what - to truly experience an event sometimes you have to drink the water so-to-speak. Figuratively and literally in this case. It would have been preferable if beer had been option. If there's a silver lining it may be that the water borne illness distracted you from the disappointment of the Jayhawks getting cut down by the dastardly Wolverines of Ann Arbor. Just cruel I tell you.Desert Dirthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12413559978573420359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-564385258186045514.post-19119240337272412722013-04-04T16:47:39.382-06:002013-04-04T16:47:39.382-06:00Wait a second, are you inferring that I may be the...Wait a second, are you inferring that I may be the odd one in the family? Sounds a little far-fetched in my mind. You also left out the Buenos Aires marathon finish, which I thought was quite impressive seeing as I pretty much got off the couch and ran that one. <br /><br />Good write up bro, it was a tough marathon. Despite a bit of gravity assistance on the down-hills the depleted oxygen and lack of hydration stations were the ultimate downfall for many a runner on this course. Likewise, I often pride myself on my stomach of steel and can almost always eat anything in third-world countries without feeling any ill effects. However, my stomach hasn't quite been the same from gulping down the water hand-outs from the kind spectators. I'm not sure if it was syphoned straight from the river which depending on the day can be an exotic color of neon purple or blue, or simply have a strong odor that no living being should ever have to smell. All in all pretty fun marathon though.<br /><br />Bubba, Evo doesn't need any help transitioning to Socialism. He's been pretty successful doing that all on his own over the past 7 years. And when things get rocky here you have to think of it as speed training. You just have to run faster than the guy next to you.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322830074945162090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-564385258186045514.post-89063266326287248922013-04-04T15:37:50.747-06:002013-04-04T15:37:50.747-06:00Very good, very interesting post.

You never do cease to amaze.<br /><br />So what, your brother is down there to help Evo Morales make the transition to Socialism?<br /><br />Things get a little rocky there from time to time. There's more to worry about than running out of breath. Any reports about any of that? Has he marched down from the Alto Plano in the water wars?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
