Here is my report for the 10/18 Breakers (Rhode Island) Marathon. Mansions! The ocean! Lots of car traffic! There is my report for the 10/12 Spokane Marathon. Originally, this was going to be my rest weekend; I added this race at the last minute to honor a friend who recently died from leukemia, which coincidentally is something I am very VERY familiar with. Why Spokane? He was from Spokane. I ran the Spokane race in this shirt: I ran the Breakers race in my more typical uniform: Alright then.

thanks SR. I was hoping you`d get to go up Doomsday as that`s where I ran into Jack last year in what was my 20th running with him too and after I`d wanted to do Bloomday ever since founder and former Olympian Don Kardong came up and talked to our running group in 1979. By coincidence, Jack and I ran exactly the same three events in 1990 but, of course, didn`t know each other then - Goodwill/Portland/Seattle. Makes me real grateful for the camaraderie of Marathon Maniacs. You too. I regreted not being able to go this year as I really wanted to help do the honors up Doomsday. Thanks for letting me know he wouldn`t`ve needed it. Somehow I`m not surprised.

I always enjoy reading your reports. Thanks for sharing!
