Quote of the Month:

"I am so proud of that women's team. TEAM!!! It's some kind of occasion when a woman runs 50 miles. But to find women who are in that kind of condition to do it, and there are FOUR of them—and they are in the same club! You Finger Lakes women are PEERLESS!"
— Lennie Tucker, regarding Lorrie, Becky, Thaisa, Mary's JFK 50 team title.
[Ed. note: Lennie ran ultras back when women were hardly allowed to run!]
