ikers - when is the surgery date? nonoruns, I'm SO glad you are still around. The forum is now setup that after a few weeks on the top of the leaderboard the names drop off. So if you don't want to live you don't have too.... So of course you can hang around. I'm hoping and planning on running injury free in 2009 which I'm hoping will put me over the 1,000 mark too. Fingers crossed!
