Read More..>>First off, good luck to Team Runners Fit this weekend in the Blue Ridge Relay. Was a blast last year, and should be just as fun this year. (Even if I’m not there.) We’re all looking forward to the updates. Mark is going to try sending Facebook status updates…we’ll see how well Verizon’s network works. [...]
