Last Friday night, I questioned your sanity, and now I have slighted your prodigious feats of athleticism (although I, along with others, did congratulate you after ING NYC, you were just in too foul a mood to notice). So, for the second time in less than a week, mea culpa. Now, since I am always willing to share the blame (especially the blame being heaped upon me), I would like to suggest that this is all at least partially YOUR fault. You need to get more aggressive in your marketing, hire a new agent, get a new PR person, go for more sponsorship, do book signings, etc, etc, etc... I will gladly take on the role of agent and PR person, in exchange for 50% of all your race winnings and 25% of all your endorsement fees. Dear Mr. Booman:

Certainly a first among half-centurion, curry loving, neo-americans? Aw shucks. Forrest,

A couple of comments about this year's Slam, there are 2 CT based runners trying to do it this year and who said I wasn'r getting any younger? It's all lies! :-) The WSER provides a 'live' webcast during the event, I'm not sure how frequent the updates are posted but it can be viewed from this link: http://webcast.ws100.com/ Also, when possible Guthrie will try to text updates to the Event Update page, but that all depends on whether there is cell coverage and that she stays awake! Thanks Forrest!
