Hope you are running strong :)<br /><br />Rob - I will treasure my belt buckle and the hours of work you put into it, thanks for reminding Carlos to present them to Sammy and I. I have just checked out your runs - wow, that is a lot of fast marathons apart from everything else.

You ...Ellie your performance was beyond impressive.<br />You ran 43 seconds faster than the fastest womens' time in the world last year.<br />This on the E/B course, <br />which for me, <br />is slower than the roads.<br />I'm pleased I got busy the past month <br />& finished the 2 buckles <br />which I cast back in the 90's.<br />Maybe I foresaw your great run.<br />As for the buckles,<br />I created the E/B design back in the 80's<br />when I first cast them in pewter.<br />I made the bronze from 95% copper, 5% tin,<br />poured at 2051F into a petrobond sand mould.<br />Thought about the Comrades?<br />You would definitely make it exciting. robDr. Happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04127152026852715768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255787720146163342.post-69352379155224346222010-05-10T17:58:31.298-07:002010-05-10T17:58:31.298-07:00Ellie

As Gary said I haven't found any results to suggest you aren't the new 100k Trail Womens World Record holder but don't quote me.

I'm SO STOKED FOR YOU, rest up, revel in this accomplishment, and then start focusing on Gibraltar!!<br /><br />GRgarobbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16576460882167758106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255787720146163342.post-91679958377456292142010-05-05T19:13:36.632-07:002010-05-05T19:13:36.632-07:00An Incredibly beAUtiful and inspiring Performance!...An Incredibly beAUtiful and inspiring Performance!!!<br />You are a hardcore Peep.<br /><br />cheers to a grEAt season!<br />juDE ULtra.Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16909586417909802988noreply@blogger.com
