I must have managed a smile.<br /><br />I know you give running your all...that is not an easy thing to do, especially when things do quite go as we expect.<br /><br />Best of luck in Austin, I know you will have another friend there urging you to the finish line. He is not forgotten either.Richard Blalockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11206813997862346871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2101286884737808495.post-53342667513590354122011-02-01T14:19:54.903-05:002011-02-01T14:19:54.903-05:00Richard, I've been holding back for a day or s...Richard, I've been holding back for a day or so trying to come up with the perfect thing to say to let you know just how proud of you and happy for you I am.<br /><br />Perhaps, that is all that really needs to be said, as I know that "you know" how I feel about you.<br /><br />So inspiring Richard, you Sir are the man. I will have you with me through all the tough miles at Austin in three weeks.<br /><br />I will have you in my heart when I see that finish line and promise that no matter what the time shows on the clock I will rejoice that it is indeed a good day to run.<br /><br />Best to you Richard!
