Hi everyone,

Just wanted to send out a huge congratulations to Monika Modest, whom I
neglected to wish a happy 50th birthday to when I saw her last week!, 
and who just ran an impressive 3:28:49 at the Northern Central Trail
Marathon last Saturday.  This excellent time was not only good enough
to put her in 2nd place woman overall for the race, but to allow her
national ranking in her age group!!!!!!  The USATF has guidelines
people should reach before they will even consider ranking them, and
this time is under that (I, unfortunately could not find the actual
guideline on their website but I am sure it is there somewhere).

Anyway, what a treat for us to be in the company of a national class
athlete--although we already knew she was "hot stuff!"  (for those of
you who don't know the reference--I am talking about Teresa's required
attire for her Fabulous Fifties Mountainback team)

Congratulations Monika!!!

Morgan
