"Here's what you have done for me!  In the space of about a year I have gone from a world class sofa-spud who hadn't even run across the street in 18 years to a finisher in the Bridger Ridge Run!!  Yes, and not only did I beat my original goal of 8 hours, or my later amended goal 7 hours, I pushed the goal up to 6 hours and beat that by over 2 minutes at an official 5:57:55.  I could go on and on about experience, but I'd be up all night typing.  So far, besides the birth of my children, it has been the highlight of my life.  Thanks for helping me achieve that."~ Ken Nevin
