Re: MRH (40 Years After)

cool stories Bob, I really want to get Amby to come run the new years (cold) Boston Marathon. His conflict is that John J hosts a new years day run in CT that goes from his house to the ocean (for an optinal swim) aand back. I told Amby if he came to run BAA I'd go with him to do John Js run after. I know that you're enjoying the sun down there but you ought to come up on 1-1-09 and join us! I'll be sure this story gets added to MRH even though its a NH race. It is still classic stiff involving a great Maine runner.

cheers
