rudy hi!
Hi Patti! I just wanted to say that when I was fifteen, as a spectator, I witnessed you run the Trevira 10 Mile Twosome (partnered w/ Herb Lindsey) in NYC in 1981. I was awestruck by both of your performances. I just looked it up: 46:16 and 53:41! I was there to support Brad Hudson (I was in his running club) who was just 14 at the time. I couldn't find his time, but I think he ran around 52 or 53 minutes.
I remember criss-crossing Central Park on foot to watch the top runners go by from several different vantage points. So much fun. It's really cool hearing your thoughts and insights all these years later on this forum. You are one of the all-time great legends of American distance running!
