As much as I love reading all the Boston Marathon reports, I don't think I've ever read one that made me think I might like to do it. uhmmm, does your club take out-of-town members? Smile

Wonderful Henry and Marj. I'm so impressed that your training went so well and of course you took it seriously through the long winter. W/ that wind 4 min slower hardly counts.

Runrwife (Sue) and I want to be just like you two. Running hand in hand into Boston. Well, anywhere would do in 25 years from now.. Smile

. Congrats on two very well run races. Many people have written "AWESOME" and I echo that thought. We still think about meeting you two at your wonderful open house in 2006. Rest up, you desire it. Have an extra dessert or two. Enjoy...

Henry - I hope I'm running as well as you are at 75. It was so great to see you again. Congratulations on your (maybe not last) marathon!

We feel like we ran into you all over Boston this year. First at the expo. Then at Robin's. And finally in the porta-john line at Athlete's Village (though you didn't see us). Your report, and especially the picture, is very touching. You two are simply amazing. I hope to be running with my sweetie for years to come, just like you and Marj.

This report is wonderful and the photo says it all----the twin smiles that are always warm and genuine and the partnership and connection that runs deep. Great going Henrun and Marj....never say never either, maybe you'll both take on Al Gordon's marathon mark and run a marathon in your late 80s. Evil grin

You two rock! See you next year?!

Read your report last night. Had to show my DW the photo and read her the report. Very nice, indeed! Congratulations on this race and wonderful experience for the both of you.

Congratulations to you and Marj! You are a fine runner and it is fitting for you to challenge the marathon again and again. It's always a pleasure to see you and I wish I'd been there to witness this one... Recover well and I hope to see you at a future get-together! Dale

Hi Henry and Marj, I love the fact that you two are always together, are always happy to be together, are always supportive of each other, and are always smiling! Congratulations on another milestone shared together. And happy birthday again, Henry! Jay
