IN THE LONG RUN: No limits, indeed!

No limits, indeed!

Desperado!

A tribute to Rick of "Rick's Running No Limits Desperado" His recent 50 year old 1:17:00 half marathon was an impulsive act of character and guts. Here's hoping Rick doesn't "come to his senses!" anytime soon.

I'm just back from ridin' fences, and must agree with Rick - Linda smashes the Eagles with this rendition.

That Pommy bastard is a fine example to all us old folk - age is just a number. Rock on!
