Post Spring Marathon Wrap-Up

All the hard training through the long winter paid off for me as I ran my fastest marathon since the Fall of 2005 at Boston in 2:58:10. As I near my 48th Birthday in June, I am most pleased with getting back under the 3:00 mark. It was Boston that robbed me of my sub 3:00 streak in 2007 and it is back at Boston that I begin a new streak! Miles have been much higher than years past and I am feeling well and recharged. Plans for the rest of the year include the Eighth Akron Marathon of my resume along with my tune-up half, The Buckeye Half one month prior. The Saturday runs in the Valley were a huge part of my success and I plan to keep doing them going. Great group of runners and great terrain to train. My goal for the fall is to better my Boston time and to hopefully run sub 2:55. My fastest days may be behind me, but I do have a renewed excitement to run well again. Hope to see you all out there. Don' forget the date - Halloween Day - Sunday, October 31st - Zombie Run No.6! More details will be coming. hope to see you all out there.
