I also agree with your hubs that you're much faster than you think. I'll see you around the TO race circuit (I'm doing ATB and the double Harry's -- the 5K and 8K! -- AND Mississauga!) and no doubt you'll reach that race in Boston one day.yumkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326728444383668883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37373654.post-7460400292451894142010-03-15T15:29:28.620-04:002010-03-15T15:29:28.620-04:00Soggy is right.
