OK, its offical. I am back. WIthout giving you pages and pages of reasons why I was gone, here the summary.
I stopped doing the OS December 22nd, and I havent been on my bike since then. After the 80+ miles for holiday run challange, teammate Bill and I took up x-country sking so we could race the Birkie Binder (50k ski race). During vacation in FEB, I walked in flip flops, on cobble stone streets and my left arch fell. VERY PAINFULL. The ski race was last Sunday, and I was massively unprepaired. It was the longest day of my life.
There you have it. I haven't been in the forums either. So I have some catching up todo. I am looking forward to getting my head back into the EN world and connecting with old and NEW peps in the house...

Nice to have you back, Josh.

PS- Now of course I want to see a race report on the Berkie! I have a non-EN friend who races it almost every year- sounds like a KILLER!
PPS- word of advice- don't kill yourself trying to read everything you missed. Just click that little "Mark All Read" button down at the bottom of the forum page and start fresh. If there was something important you missed- we'll help you find it!
PPPS- So what's on your race calendar?
I wanna hear all about your skate skiing adventures. You and Bill inspired me to get a pair and try it out this winter.
Welcome back! Glad to have you here again!
Any chance you feel like a vacation in October ... I need someone to talk to from 6:30 to 7:00 on October 9th :-)
@kitima Ill tell you every thing you want to know, and more. Ill post later in the week.
@nemo thanks for the props. As far as races go, I am a Sherpa for any one who needs me at IMWI, and I am doing the Liberty HIM in June, and an ultra in October with Bill. Other wise, that's about all. Now all i need to do is figure out how to get around this site!!
NOOOOODDLLLLLLLLE!!! Glad you are back!
Noodle RULES. For those of you who don't know him, you will soon see!
Hi Josh!!!! All's well now that you're back!
I don't suppose we could convince you to be our videographer for the day?
Well Alright...Now we can start the party!
Welcome back Josh.

Nice to have you back. I would not worry too much about taking time off the bike to do lots of XC skiing. That plan seems to work pretty well for Dr Tommy.
Welcome back.

Welcome back Noodle! It'll be good to have you back in da haus!
Congrats on Birkie - I've always wanted to do that, but since I've never been on a cross-country ski ...
Welcome Back!
Josh, welcome back!
To get caught up:
Did I miss anything?
Only that we all agree the EN 4.0 Smilies are lame and although we have been promised the EN 3.0 Smilies will return at some point, they haven't shown up yet [Insert 3.0 smiley tapping his foot impatiently here]. So we are all doing our part to provide passive aggressive reminders whenever the opportunity arises [insert 3.0 smiley stirring the pot here].
-"Halligan shaved his legs and has asked us to call him Nancy "
Are they PICS? and what happened to the person who first called him that? Do you have pics of that too?
-"they are making me wear some obscene pink swimsuit nightmare"
As long as its not a banana hammock, I think you'll be ok
-"Nemo is crushing the coaches with post counts, though we can easily fix that behind the scenes."
you should replace the post count number with the infinity symbol
Welcome back and how is the foot now.
Josh,
a friend of mine used to sell hernia mesh. Let me know what you hear tomorrow, and I can find out the inside scoop from a different perspective. Good luck!
Mike
