It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. Had a wonderful time eating spaghetti and watching the Olympic men’s marathon on TV with the HARD Runners group at Gail (“Force”) and Ken’s house this evening. It was a wonderful evening rooting for Ryan Hall (our favorite male runner) but sad because it was also a send-off party for Gail and Ken. They will be moving away from the HARD family this week. Ken works for Lowe’s and has taken a position at the corporate office in North Carolina. We will miss them terribly but are happy for them as they start the next chapter in their lives where Ken will be doing less traveling and they can be together more. We wish you all the best!!! Keep in touch and don’t be surprised when I show up on your doorstep when I hike the Appalachian Trail!!!!!!! 
Now where did I put that Home Depot flyer….?
