Congrats, Thor, on marathon #37 and 18 months of marathon-a-month craziness.
You like to thank folks and that's cool. We just hope you know it work both ways. We all know you're certifiably nutz but we wouldn't have been our there running around at 5:30 AM in the snow unless that were the case. You inspire us. You get us out there. We owe you a bunch.
Thanks for being nutz!!

Subject: Thank You!
Thanks to all who participated this snowy, wet morning. The laps (and miles) ticked by with such good company. I swear, you guys make it easy, not to mention a lot of fun. I didn't feel tired until the very last lap. And it's only because of the good company and constant chatter.
So thank you, thank you for putting up with me, for keeping me company, and for getting out there on a morning more fit for staying inside under warm covers rather than plodding through a sloppy wintry mix.
Thor
John, Andy: Thanks for doing the early shift. Singing the National Anthem and witnessing John conduct a flyover with an Air Canada toy plane was memorable.
Mark: Dude, thanks for the company of those rather wet laps. They were by far the wettest of them all. Hope your feet have thawed by now. But more importantly, thanks so much for coming down. I appreciate it greatly.
Kim, Lori: Thanks for being out there and keeping me company. I mean that because I know you would have rather stuck with the same old route. I suppose good things come back to me for often keeping you company on your runs, but still, I appreciate it.
Shawn, Terry: Awesome running while you were, even if it was only a high five here and there.
Days Man: Nice to see you, too!
Deb: Thanks for coming out. It was truly a treat for me as I got to catch up on the amazing things going on in your life right now. Very, very happy for you and especially pleased to see you dirty your new shoes in the name of good company.
Shawn (again): Thanks for keeping me company on that last lap. I couldn't have done it without you. Okay, maybe I could have, but still, it was fun. You were rock solid. Congratulations on your longest run EVER!!!
