Runners await VPA's decision - Barre Montpelier Times-Argus sportswriter

only to God and my hairdresser, I decided to enter the Leaf Peeper (sic)
Half Marathon." To give him some credit, it shows in the results
that Mark ran 2:07:22 half for 530th place overall, not the finish in
730th place as he opines in his piece.
