With this running sub-form, I have to believe that some friendships have began. I look forward to meeting you all Saturday evening.

I think we can all appreciate today's quote.

"When you get down to it, it's the people you get to meet. If you want to tell the most about a person in the fewest words, simple say, "He's (or she's-my edit to the quote) a runner."-Paul Fetscher
