Wonderful to hear from you and great to have your support
A marathon is the simple and crazy act of putting one foot before another 42000 times
Boston marathon means something- the event brings out the best in the people and the people bring out the best in the event
A blog post will probably appear on this theme

You humble me
From your first moments – and before the first – I have enjoyed the privilege of being your friend
Thank you for this support
I will need it as the body tires and cools and the wind chills my rain soaked body in the final ten kms
Friendship sustains me
Thank you, you good soul
Howard
