The skies were clear blue with just a slight wind as 41 runners from Navy, Army, and Air Force set out to conquer the Half Shell Half Marathon - Kuwait style. The weather conditions were great and compensated for the poor running conditions. Unlike the flat smooth course in Key West, we ran over gravel, boulders, up hills, and along service roads to get the 13.1 mile needed for the race. I had put the word out about the race and had an unexpected number of people express interest. Saturday (day before the race) I received a nasty call from the base installation manager to ask why I had not coordinated the race or written a memo (the Army loves their memos). I dutifully wrote a quick memo and went to see the Colonel and tried to explain this was not a formal race, just a bunch of people out for run. He did not buy it and went to get the approval of the gentlemen in charge of all Kuwait bases. He disapproved it so I was directed not to have it. To kick a guy when he is down, he did authorize me to conduct physical fitness on my own Sunday and it did not matter how far I ran. This just reiterated why it is time to get home.
Well, all the people still showed up on Sunday and I tried to explain there was not official start time or clock, it was up to them. I did not have the people on the course marking it or handing out water, because that may imply I was not following his order. Dutifully, I notified the runners the race was cancelled along with a map of the course and instruction on where to give times if they ran 13.1 miles as an individual on Sunday. We spread out some of the runners to maintain our covertness, but I still had 25+ show up at my doorstep to start at 3:00 pm local time. After they all agreed the race was cancelled and they were just out for an afternoon run, they set off in small packs of runners. Overall everyone did very well with 38 finishers. There were 4-5 new half marathoners by the end of the day and they were very excited. I finished with a co-worker (LCDR Lore Aguayo) in 1:34:32 which was one of my better times the last couple of years surprisingly enough. Our two speedsters (RP2 Margarito Barerras and CM2 Jeremiah Freye) finished in just under 1:30 at 1:29:51. Overall it was a good day of running and I think I may have convinced a couple of people to come run in Key West next year.

The Executive Officer (Lore Aguayo) ran with me for the race. She is obsessed with running and just about ran me into the ground.

awesome! that's a great time for a "non-race". Glad you all had such a large turnout at your PT session. Yep, no race here.
Maybe the "non-race" should be renamed the Half-There 1/2 Marathon.
Did a Kenyan runner, sponsored by Fila, win the "non-race"? They have won every race I have ever been in.

Now here is a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX five hundred running shoe, and, since it originally comes from the '80s, the gaming galvanized design and coloring is a simple choice ... Right? The kicks would possibly not be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packaged with a combo bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a computer game based on ... The shoe itself.
GameCulture writes that the game stars a personality named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has five minutes to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking bullies, collect power-ups, and pull off loony rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' to get on-stage before his set starts. It looks fittingly retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.

So I bit the bullet -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-452-with-ValveDock.html]Fatman iTube 452[/url] and I've got to say I am an extremely happy customer. I actually listened to one at a friend's house a few months back and just couldn't get that music out of my head because it blew me away. I searched online everywhere I could think of for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I phoned them first and asked a bunch of questions and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Dispatch was surprisingly fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they ship outside of Australia but you won't be sorry if they do.
Amazing sound...
Nate

The company delivers a single [url=http://cungmuachungnhom.com/thoi-trang.html]gia re hom nay[/url] for each working day in each and every and each and every of the markets it serves. The Groupon capabilities as an assurance deal utilizing ThePoint's method: if a distinct amount of folks indication up for the supply, then the provide gets available to all if the predetermined nominal is not satisfied, no a solitary gets the provide that day. This decreases chance for retailers, who can handle the discount coupon codes as amount price reduction prices as correctly as sales marketing instruments. Groupon can make funds by maintaining around fifty p.c the funds the client pays for the coupon.
For case in position, an $eighty massage could be bought by the client for $forty by implies of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would break up the $forty. That is, the retailer provides a therapeutic therapeutic massage valued at $80 and receives about $20 from Groupon for it (under a fifty%/fifty% crack up). Or, if $240 really value of home portray services is acquired by the customer for $fifty by indicates of Groupon, then the business will get $twenty 5 and Groupon retains $25. The purchaser receives the massage, or the home portray service provider, in these illustrations, from the retailer for which they originally compensated $40 (or $fifty) to Groupon. There are certain companies to which Groupon to commence with did not offer its businesses, which involves getting pictures ranges and strip golf equipment nonetheless, capturing ranges have been featured on Groupon.
In distinction to categorized advertising, the service provider does not pay any upfront price to participate: Groupon collects personalized data from prepared clients and then contacts only people shoppers, largely by working day-to-working day e mail, who may perhaps possibly be fascinated in a unique product or support.
Groupon employs a huge sum of copywriters who draft descriptions for the offers highlighted by email and on the net internet site. Groupon's advertising textual content for the 'deals' has been observed as a contributing situation to the acceptance of the site, that includes a unique blend of full truth-checking and witty humor.
Owing to Groupon's marketplace presently being largely composed of woman customers, the discounts are typically centered on the wellness, physical physical fitness and attractiveness markets.
There are prospective concerns with the organization style. For instance, a efficient offer could briefly swamp a tiny business with as well a good deal of buyers, jeopardizing a possibility that consumers will be dissatisfied, or that there won't be enough merchandise to fulfill the need to have. Hole, a huge clothing retailer, was capable to get treatment of 445,000 discount codes in a nationwide offer (despite the fact that it experienced server difficulties at 1 phase), but a scaled-down organization could turn into out of the blue flooded with clients. A single espresso shop in Portland, Oregon struggled with an boost in customers for three months, when it supplied close to one,000 Groupons on the a single working day it was supplied, according to a single specific report. In reaction to related problems, Groupon officers situation that 'deal' subscriptions need to have to be capped in development to a affordable amount.
