Hi Ed:
Great job yesterday. You and Ben ran a wonderful event. Fun runs and all. The
only thing I would like to see in the future is a much bigger track. That would
have made the event longer and would probably have canceled any fun runs but its
not the fun runs that count. I guess we found the key to lowering the number of
people that enter. Tell everyone its going to rain.
Again Great job.
