Five runners turned out Monday evening. Edie, Laura, Leo Liu, Rod (returned from Florida and Jamaica) and Bobtoc ran west, facing a stiff and cold wind. Since Bobtoc ran 19 k Saturday, Edie 16 k Sunday, Laura returned after several days due to a bad cold and Rod had not run for two weeks, the five ran only to Broadway and Underhill. The hoped for tailwind did not occur, so the five ran back under …

From Rod and Pat in Jamaica; Greetings from Kingston Jamaica. All is going well and we moved to Kingston today to meet the last cousin, after a wonderful time on the North Coast. Temps about 84, good wine and beer. Haven’t been too close to computers, as this is really a 3rd world country and we couldn’t connect the ipod and iPhone. Heading back to Miami on Thurs and then home on Friday. Will be …

We were wondering where others were, but after factoring for injuries, travel, and breaks from Sunday’s Langley Historic runs, we concluded that most people did have valid reasons for being …
