That's a long time to work on those muscles. You must have Popeye arms now.

You're so funny, Burt! Yes, my biceps are as big as a bus! ;-)

I have been a slacker on recording my running lately!! Life has gotten so chaotic. I need to figure out how to organize myself better. I'll try to catch up on the blog soon; the only problem is that now I can't remember exactly what I've done--it wasn't all on the Garmin.

Cara - have you named your biceps yet? :-P

Oopsy.

Tell Stampy and Lightning hi for me.

Does this work?

Can't see it, Cara. You'll need to upload it somewhere...maybe in your blog post? Burt always has some very interesting pictures he finds posted there. :-)

From Coach Cara on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 17:20:18 from 74.107.148.31

Well, I can't figure out how to upload it. It was just a silly picture of me from last summer when I was flexing my biceps in front of a gym. I thought, in context, it would be funny! :-)

I just sent you a powerpoint presentation on how to post pictures to your blog.

You're so cute trying to send us a link to your access files on your personal computer :)

From Coach Cara on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 18:27:31 from 74.107.148.31

You can call it "cute," I call it PATHETIC!! :-)

Thanks, I'll see if I can figure it out.

Ok, pics passed via email. Take my word for it, Stampy and Lightning are pea shooters compared to the guns Cara's got!

Burt - Popeye had scrawny biceps and HUGE forearms :)

From Burt on Sat, Jan 30, 2010 at 14:45:40 from 98.177.216.165

That is true RT. How can I get like that? Maybe by pummeling Bluto in the face over and over.
