Thanks. I started almost exactly a year ago because this group had so little activity that it looked to me like it might become dormant. So I thought it...
Hey Scholars, I thought I'd check in and the Michael know that he's got a shot at beating me in Grandrapids. Basically, I've been in serious recovery mode...
Hi Mark (and scholars) Sorry that you are struggling to recover from your Ironman race. I think your chances of beating me in the marathon are still excellent...

Well, you know the old saying: She doesn't have to be able to outrun the bear, as long as she can outrun her training partner. Although, if there is more...
