      Ken, I wouldn't consider you a plodder by any means!

     

    +1.  I ran with him.  No plodding was involved.

      Yes, so there should be some closure.

      Some very good races here, with folks setting honest goals and still smashing them.  What simplifies this otherwise difficult selection process is that three entries belong to a single runner.  And so...

       

      pfetro, to you goes the SEP2013 Hurtlocker Virtual Actual & Tangible Beer of Achievement!  Don't be all "aw, shucks" with us, either -- you earned it.

        Oh, no, it's not a virtual beer.  No fake feel-good stuff here.  pfetro is owed a beer for real.  But since I am closer I will likely take care of it for you.  Smile

              Very beer worthy. Damn fine racing!

               

              Plus, this is one good dude. Paced me to my marathon PR which was more than 30 minutes off his own. Still owe some beer for that.

                    Thanks for the support everyone.  CR - that is one of my favorite running experiences, no beer is owed and IIRC we had a few tasty ones after the race with Spaniel.

                      Cracking open a Chimay in the park was priceless.  We need to do that again.
