    Not sounding good, but still I would wait until the cooling system was back to normal and the engine running to clear everything out. If you have the tools available I would suggest maybe running a compression test. Would be an easy test to check for head gasket issues.

    well if you would stop trying to get nekkid every time you walk into someone's house you wouldn't have to worry about not having shoes or other articles of clothing being scattered throughout the United States

    Paul,

    You guys still doing those Spartan, Iron Man, roll in the mud type races? I've been trying to build up my cardio lately and thought those could actually be pretty fun.

    Kyle did another one, I think I broke/sprained my foot at the last one so i've been sticking to road running since it quit hurting. I am down for another though. It's not so much cardio that you need for those. It's pretty much everything. Had I not trained for it for about 3 months prior, I wouldn't have had the strength to successfully complete all of the obstacles.

    The difficulty also depends on what race it is, where, and when. We did the atlanta spartan race which is considered one of the harder sprints (not to mention it was 34 degrees that morning). It ended up being closer to five miles than the listed 3-4. The warrior dashes have a reputation for being a little easier and shorter (not to mention significantly cheaper). I personally want to get a large group together to do a mud run.

    Oh yes, the white shoes would be on. The socks would be white also though.

    I've been doing some running along with weights over the last bit. If one comes up after mid august, let me know. I might see if you have a position open.
