          Hi Holly

          . correction - well, it seem I thought I'd 40/40''ed but, not so fast.

          I was thinking I had ten miles in the running commute but it was only five

          and the ten was for cycling so no 40/40 that I thought Saturday's

          Carkeek 12-hour Run run would produce. t.

           

          However, I've got the Grandpa's Wishbone 27 mile on Friday, 11/25

          and the Seattle Marathon on Sunday so, should see you in a month with 53.2 miles, . . . I hope.

           

          Thanks.


          PORTLAND
          It looks like you got a nice adjustment on this year’s
          extended 26.7 mile Portland Marathon too.
          I hope MikeE, Mariposai, Enke and Starr do too.

          Very grateful for your impressive long-distance arranging
          of the Reunion House down there. What a treat to come back
          from this year’s wettest running to get all fed and warmed up.
