<p>Thanks once again to <strong>Tedjan</strong> for preparing the graphs. Please feel free to PM me with any corrections/comments/omissions, and I'll take care of them right away. As I said previously, it's truly been my pleasure to provide these monthly summaries for all of you, my mentors in running. You all inspire me so much!!</p>
