AIEEE!!! Run, Dougie, Run! I'll bet you could use one of my Vicodin about now. Jest joshin! A possibly torn rotator cuff is no fun. OH! My surgery may or may not include actually cutting. He's going to do a "look-see," because all the X-rays and MRIs have been "inconclusive!"

Or 26 miles, 385 years. Congratulations on your great finish, Doug! Well done! Be proud! I bet it felt like 26 miles, 386 yards. Or 26 miles, 385 years.

I was thinking how exhausted I am from just waking UP early to WATCH you, and I should'a taken an extra day off, but of course you, Mike and John D are ALL working tomorrow after running so I guess I'd better go in, eh?!

In the official time of 4:35.00. No seconds! Yeah, I know, your under-four years are over, but even if I started now, as a middle-aged woman, AND as your twin, I could never hope to reach that! Still, after my shoulder surgery next Monday, I AM definitely going to work at getting back into shape. My damaged rotator-cuff is a wake-up call to me that I have got to start taking better care of myself! CONGRATULATIONS, DOUGIE! Do you actually have to go into work tomorrow? You'll be DOG (rat) tired, won't you? ;) And he FINISHES! In the official time of 4:35.00. No seconds!
