However, when they had been running half an hour or so, and were quite dry again, the Dodo suddenly called out "The race is over!” and they all crowded round it, panting, and asking, “But who has won?”<BR/><BR/>Come to think of it, this description sounds a little like some of my training runs.Reluctant Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029317062823813338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318685393163464695.post-41492524917727842632008-01-06T15:57:00.000-06:002008-01-06T15:57:00.000-06:00Remember DFL is better then DNS!!
