Weekly RunDown #52

Gaston Roelants
“We used to run just for the honor, for the glory, just to show people we could do it.  The people run now because of the money involved, because of contracts, because of sponsors, etc.”
Gaston Roelants

This is Edition #52 so it has been a full year of weekly updates - Looking forward to year 2!
