I wish you good luck on Sunday to qualify for Boston Marathon. I know you will because "You have the Balls to qualify for Boston" See you on the course on Sunday.

I'm looking forward to seeing you on the 21st. I believe the time is 6:30 p.m.

I will not be at the run on Saturday as I am in Boston right now for a wedding. Tell everyone this Thursday...especially Steve and Gary, to announce that I will help with interval running at LB state's track at 5:30pm on the 21st.

At 3:03pm on August 13, 2008, Vera said…: Hey Matt...are you guys doing a track workout on Thursday night? If so, Julia and I were wondering if we could crash, since we don't quite know what that's all about yet. Let me know, if not, I'm sure we can figure it out. :-)
