Oddly enough, I sent a similar letter to Matt yesterday:

Dearest Matt,

I hope you enjoyed the bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries I sent you. It was so great to hang out last weekend.

On an unrelated and non-bribery-related note, I am please to see that you are still keeping Mark in the spam pit on . Keep up the good work.

Hugs and kisses,

Ben

Matt!

Yes, Mark got things sorted out for me.

I can’t tell you how amazed I am that you took the time to personally check in with me.

Thank you SO much.

Matt -
I read your blog where you stated you were able to run through shin splints and other injuries. My question how did you do it, what worked for you? I use to long distance in college. It’s been a while and I wanted to get back into running. I had shine splints in college used ibuprof., ice, stretching, worked with a physical therapist and so on you name it, to the point the pain became unbearable. This time I would like to know some secrets so if I encounter shin splints I will be better prepared. It felt great to run 2.5 miles today, though not a far distance. But the feeling of me, road running along with the greatest running partner ever, my golden lab – Sam. After the run I felt a bit sore, but totally alive. Ok, what is your advice to former distance runner, who is trying to dust the dirt from shoes and ready to hit the trails. Hopefully this time with a lot less pain in her shins.

Hi Mark
I’d like to let you know that a small group of us are organizing the Borneo International Marathon in Sabah, Malaysia. At the opposite end of the world I realize but it would be great if you and your friends would be able to participate. Please email me if anyone requires any more information at shandemon@yahoo.com or visit the website at http://www.borneomarathon.com
Cheers and have a great weekend.

Mark – you’ve been quiet on the blog front…don’t get all slacky on me just b/c the entire structure of healthcare in AB is being turned on it’s head.
