    Mark — I enjoyed going through the listings and the creative comparisons. This article brought back a lot of memories for me. I still live in North Carolina (Wilmington now instead of Raleigh) and I still get out to pound the pavement and wear out running shoes. I remember, and treasure, my visit with you when you came to Raleigh a couple of decades ago. Your photo looks good, so the years and your sports journalism career have been kind to you. Best wishes ——– Ken Pike
