So you can say I run, I ran, and I have/had run. I'm cursed that when I run across grammatical errors, I get stopped in my tracks :( Your blog is so great I want it to even go to the next level!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17506084811123828788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066507067825029542.post-40497879167935663022012-04-18T23:15:07.186-06:002012-04-18T23:15:07.186-06:00I love me a good race report.
