Where’s the peanut butter?!

I just got my assignment from my coach and I’m going to help pace one of the legs for the 3 hour finishers at the Seattle marathon after Thanksgiving. I’m super excited to get to pace and VERY excited to get to be a part of that pace group. It’s not too far from what (on paper) I should have been able to run my marathon at and I’m going to be out with a bunch of total bad-ass runners. I guess I have kind of a weird sense of “fun” but I’m really looking forward to this. Woot!!

Update: Good news, bad news, and awesome news.  The bad news is I’m pacing the half for 6:52’s, not the full, which means I’ll be in much less bad-ass company than I’d thought.  The good news is this should be a great group for me to run with (not way out of my league) and if I run the whole half with them it will be a good race for me.  The even better news is we’re getting a whole new wardrobe for doing this!  Hat, vest, and shoes - all (well, maybe except for the hat) stuff that I really need.  More woot!

This is super excitng:

1. No one can present himself directly to another of our friends. There must be a third person to do it.
2. Never look at the wives of friends.
3. Never be seen with cops.
4. Don’t go to pubs and clubs.
5. Always being available for Cosa Nostra is a duty - even if your wife’s about to give birth.
6. Appointments must absolutely be respected.
7. Wives must be treated with respect.
8. When asked for any information, the answer must be the truth.
9. Money cannot be appropriated if it belongs to others or to other families.
10. People who can’t be part of Cosa Nostra: anyone who has a close relative in the police, anyone with a two-timing relative in the family, anyone who behaves badly and doesn’t hold to moral values.

I’d intended to go see Control tonight but now I’m tempted to get out my Godfather DVDs instead because I’m pretty sure there’s a scene in 2 around the time of the trial where Michael does not treat Kay with respect.

Now I wish the flunkies at TSG would get the document up!
