  • Comments: Great way to start out a marathon career. Wait what career. That damn Mike making me into a runner. Who knew? If you told me 5 years ago I would ever enjoy running I would have said you were out of you mind. It's something I took up because it is part of triathlons. Kinda like swimming to some of you. To do a marathon is outrageous. I enjoyed talking to people and runners along the course. I figure I'm ready for a race when I know I can finish it feeling good. I was able to do this well for this one. As one person said along the course pacing and prep is the key to not taking the ambulance home. Thanks to Willie and Y for home support and to Mike my quasi coach and BFF training partner. Anyone who has met him knows what a great guy he is. Oh yeah all of you who stop by and give words of encouragement. Kam see you in the next one?

  • Comments: Low key and very well run. The course is beautiful, lots of positive volunteers at the aid stations, the community support in Stroudsburg is wonderful.
