Thank you for inspiring me to be bullish in spite of the rain I hear outside the window. I will run harder knowing you're going for 2:45 ahead of me. I hope to see you at the finish. Great blog post -- thanks!Sarah Lavender Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14119341345004909332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945746033706054617.post-10965933251531164752009-02-27T02:33:00.000-08:002009-02-27T02:33:00.000-08:00Jean and Ted,If you read this...there will be an i...Jean and Ted,<BR/>If you read this...there will be an informal 3:00/sub-3 group meeting at the Solfage Spa sign near the start at 6:30.

Good luck with your "2 hours + age in minutes" goal, that rings a bell! ;-) Have a safe flight in the meantime.<BR/><BR/>Good long run in the rain today (19.4 miles @ 6:52 min/mile). But still hoping for a shiny day in a week, although we indeed need as much rain as possible before the Spring.<BR/><BR/>Jean.Jean Pommierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590228467214315945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945746033706054617.post-47578033771264686942009-02-22T16:53:00.000-08:002009-02-22T16:53:00.000-08:00Jean and Ted,Greetings from another guy enjoying h...Jean and Ted,<BR/>Greetings from another guy enjoying his taper.
