On the way from Beijing to Tokyo I sat next to your wife and we had a great chat. Good luck to you in the future.

At the end of the Seattle marathon, people have to get up the stairs in the stadium to get to the clothing check (because it's November and it's really cold after the race). Sometimes there are no handrails, and the stairs usually seem much steeper than usual.<BR/><BR/>NBC on TV showed you passing sponge/water to someone you were walking with. You are such a helpful guy! For the men's 20k, they showed a guy sponging inside his shorts. I am very glad that wasn't you.<BR/><BR/>DoraUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07323226978361522887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-407213735400343008.post-49200005668252047012008-08-25T10:52:00.000-07:002008-08-25T10:52:00.000-07:00A great read -- thanks for taking the time to blog...A great read -- thanks for taking the time to blog it -- fascinating.pdbghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14832977849981847430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-407213735400343008.post-65562160230400891302008-08-25T10:13:00.000-07:002008-08-25T10:13:00.000-07:00Philip:Excellent description of your thoughts, con...Philip:<BR/><BR/>Excellent description of your thoughts, conditions and competitors before, during and after the event.<BR/><BR/>We are proud of you and your accomplishments.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the rest of the week and have a safe trip home.<BR/><BR/>Jack & Kathy GarryJack and Kathy Garryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18417319331356996026noreply@blogger.com
