Wfm, thanks for reminding me I signed up for the marathon. I often forget how long the course is. Patience has never been a strong suit of mine.

AS, it's interesting that your wife's relationship with that woman fizzled out. Their common marriage woes must have been the only thing they really had in common. I do feelthatthe girls are cheering each other on. The unfortunate thing is, that kind of cheering on is the same kind you see on Jackass, and someone always ends up paying a price after the groupthink foolishness plays itself out.
