“Hi, Hazel.  I’ve been out of town on vacation, so it’s a bit tardy, but I wanted to be sure I thanked you for providing a great training experience.  I ran and walked, for a total time of about 47 minutes, or 14 minutes per mile.  I was very satisfied with my results and plan to continue using the techniques.”
