Yeah, I shipped it this morning (it'll arrive on Tuesday) and they didn't ask, so I didn't offer any additional information. Fingers crossed that it arrives safely. I can safely say, all gift components are packed tightly in there

I am prepping for my next marathon (May 6). Just trying to maintain a steady 40-50 miles per week.
Sunday: 6.1
Monday: 11.1
Tuesday: 11.1
Wednesday: 7.1
Thursday: 7.2
Saturday: 14.2
8:48 pace over those miles. I'm starting my actual training on Monday (20 week program).

Might join you in the ban, doubt mine will arrive on time.
543.2 miles left in them so... the next pair is in you.
EDIT: Not a lot to choose from in the NE but Blimpers Bluff seems like a reasonable first 50K. Its in October.
My evil, sadistic plan is for you to run a 50k ultra-marathon sometime in 2012, part 2 of Secret Santa 2011 will be an entry bib to something horrible (and yet rewarding) in your neck of the woods. You should start looking now...56.8 miles on the new shoes this week.

Mine is currently scheduled for delivery on Thursday.
If either come to me I'll get the DTs and swear it was delivered on Christmas Eve but I wasn't able to open it until the snakes went away. I'll have your back like that because fighting the power is what I'm about.
"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Serial Midget again."
You're a peach, kind sir!
Pretty much the same here, as long as it gets here before new years eve.... Somebody is still waiting for her gift from last year as long as I know and the one responsible for it was never ban so I don't see a couple days late as a major problem...
You're a peach as well, especially for a Canadian!
Meaning please. Not sure I understand that one correctly...
Sent mine yesterday, will be there by thursderp
Edit: Deleted this whole line of conversation so the SS thread isn't full of arguments.
It suffices to say: get your packages there on time. When you participate, you agree to get everything there by Christmas. Expedited shipping is not that much money.

Tick tick only a few days left till Christmas. Every day next week is going to be exciting..... I'm sure the first place I'll be looking is the front door step.
I'll be honest I think some of my favorite Xmas gift come from monkeys... TN hooked me up with an awesome homemade beer tap handle a few years ago.... I still use it (almost every night I might add)

I hope one of the late ones is for me! I may not have you banned but you'll never be late again!!

nothing late's until it's Christmas time.
I was hoping mine wouldn't arrive until Wednesday, but it'll be there Monday....would have played into my plan a little better, but I that's fine. I haven't received mine yet either, but I'm not in a huge rush either. I like waiting until it's closer to Christmas anyway

Shipping out tomorrow!
Its from AARP
Awesome job Heidi!
I must say I think SS has achieved a certain status when we've managed to black listed at delivery companies!
No trouble yet for mine and about 1/3 of the way to their destination.
Secret Santa started at school today....way less fun that RM, but I did get some delicious dark chocolate and am trying very hard not to open it
Send it to me. I'll keep it safe for you.Secret Santa started at school today....way less fun that RM, but I did get some delicious dark chocolate and am trying very hard not to open it
gift sent today. according to USPS, it should be there Wednesday.
Shipped. Scheduled to arrive on Wednesday.
Glad you got the package!!!! Those silipint "glasses" are sweet.This is why you don't ship via Fedex
No, I hadn't started opening them yet
Good thing the "glass" wasn't real glass
LOL! I am going to have to hide it from Sq-Earl & Syd for sure!!!
I can't imagine having BV as my SS...... I might get a $25 lump of coal ;0)
No matter how much you bitch about this place or the mods, I'd still have a beer/ride with you, or send you a quality SS present
Awe BV, I think we may have just bonded.... I find that as I get older and older I have more and more respect for you mods.... Or maybe it's just the Christmas spirit talkingNo matter how much you bitch about this place or the mods, I'd still have a beer/ride with you, or send you a quality SS present
Finally got mine shipped, supposed to be there tomorrow.
Just shipped mine. ETA is Thursday. I used a good bit of trickery to safely send beer, but I'll let my monkey show it off on Thursday when (s)he gets it. I think I did good and stayed pretty much within the budget which I didn't expect.
Mine will be delivered tomorrow. So to my elf: There ya go.
I'm working in RI, and BigT and I Skype every night. The other day she tells me "You got a package". Since we were going to be at her parents over the weekend, I told her to bring it with her. Thanks Heidi.
BTW, is the slilpint glasses freezable?
Shipped mine out today. It should arrive to my elf by Thursday.
Budget? I didn't really stay within one...I think mine was $50 out of pocket but actual value is quite a bit more. Meh, Christmas comes but once a year, now it's here, now it's here, bringing joy...lalala. Okay...I need sleep
Well my monkey specifically asked for something that was sitting in my spare parts box barely used so I got to give that for free. I could've saved more by ordering part of the gift through my team's pro deal but I put it off too long and had to buy it full price. And the beer was actually on sale!Budget?

I was prepared to go well over budget but I got lucky and didn't need to.
I think I was below $150 with everything.
