You're right, Ted. I ran a few distance races in my younger days. No danger 
of setting any world records, however.
Cheers

Hi Hoppy,
I figure anyone who enters a marathon and runs 26 miles is a winner by any 
standard, first or last across the line. :-)

The editors are usually right.... note "usually, never always!" .... too 
many twits out their with more power than brains! ;-)
