Thx!

I apparently have a secret following of runner’s mothers.

I wonder what this means.

Dean, Hi, this is Rick & Kevin’s Mom. I was visiting the Kentucky area the week of derby and saw you on the news. Then when visiting Kevin he told me “That’s a friend of Rick’s”. We enjoyed seeing you and reading your story.

Not to nitpick, but OK yeah to nitpick, wouldn’t the proper garb be a white flannel suite? Not polyester?

Of course, that probably wouldn’t have improved the heat situation. Cheers!

Some folks who ran near me may have not enjoyed it so much. “The Colonel” probably robbed many folks of their due of crowd support. At one point, I caught up with this guy. When I did, the crowd shouted like mad, “Go colonel!” This guy waved back at them (he was an army Colonel). Only later did he notice that folks weren’t cheering for him.

Sorry, sir.

I think I ran within a minute either way of you for the entire race.
Saturday was my first mini and only my second race of 10+ miles (the first being 2 weeks before the mini in the Papa John’s 10 Miler).
You cracked me up, man. Had I known there was chicken in that bucket, I would have grabbed a piece on the bus ride to the starting line.

It was a very hot day. After the full broke off from the half I wanted to cry. I knew I had more then half my race to go and I was not feeling so great mentally. I made it to the finish line and I was happy about that. Wish I had seen you the morning of…. I did see the Elvis troop… what a crack up.

You have no idea what a coup (not chicken) you scored with getting your website mentioned in the newspaper article. Websites and emails are the VERY first thing they cut when editing. I cannot tell you how many times fiddy2.org was cut from article telling people to donate but not WHERE they could. That is awesome.

Great to see you again. Let’s not wait another 2 years.

Dean your an original(recipe)!!! love the effort, costume, and the detailed race report. obviously impressed the news paperman enough to write half the article on you. pretty good for ‘winging’ it. with another race under your belt while I sit on my butt, you have a ‘leg’ up on me.

Found your site because you linked to my mural picture of Col. Sanders on Flickr. Thanks! Now here’s the weird part: We were in Louisville Saturday when the marathon was going on. We were having a lovely day at Cave Hill Cemetery, feeding the waterfowl and taking pictures. We visited Col. Sanders grave while we were there. Lovely day in Derby City and I will be working the Derby this year, so I’m excited about that. Again, thanks for the link to my picture. -Cindy

Speed is relative. Determination is *everything*.

Your slowest half is faster than my PR. You officially suck.

But I LOVE the costume. I do love a good theatrical performance during a race!
