    I have to add my congrats as well, JD.  I can only dream of sub-3
    marathons.  I know you're disappointed at losing your faster pace
    because of the hamstring cramps (I hate it when that happens) but 2:54
    is nothing to sneeze at.

    JD,
    
    Super job, JD.  I'm envious!  No marathons for me this year, but Twin
    Cities is Sunday October 14th if you're interested.  :*)
    
    Were there a lot of hills?  How would it compare with Boston or other
    marathons you've run?

    Denny, Portland's really nice this time of year.  Especially with me
    giving JD my honorary Isiah Thomas jersey as a singlet.... now you
    know why he ran so fast?
381.9RIPPLE::DEVLIN_JOR Joe Morgan &amp; Jerry Burns brothers??Mon Oct 08 1990 14:3816
    Hey, thanks everyone, especially to Walt for lending me the little
    princess' jersey.  Only problem was, I kept running up behind folks
    and rubbing their haids.   
    
    Spud - the course was tougher than advertised.  Lots of uphills
    and downhills - while none were real steep, most wer long sloping
    hills.  One went from about mile 12 to mile 16 down, then you turned
    around and ran up it from 16 to 20.  The downhills are what I attribute
    to my hamstring problems - usually my calves hurt, this time it
    was all quads and hamstrings.  
    
    There are about 4 or 5 DECCIES from back east running the twin cities
    in a few weeks, so if you see any of it, look for them blue and
    white DIGTIAL uniforms.

    Congrats, JD.  Wow, I know two of the runners, JD and Dick Joseph.
    
    JD, did Dick's wife Patti run, too?  I saw the picture in DTW, and
    I believe she was standing in front of you, right?
    
    Keep up the good work.

JD, Congrats!  Congrats, JD!

Remember, though, when you're running to try and keep those huge lats
in tight to your body...lessens the wind resistence.....

HTH,
