Marathon

Philadelphia Marathon...

Lauren got in under 4:00hrs (3:59:18), which was not even her goal! Awesome improvement from her last marathon. This was her third marathon.

Lauren's mom Dee ran with a MCVET resident member from Back on My Feet. They got in just under 5 hrs. Both of them first time marathoners!

I am jealous. Since the stress fracture in October, I have run 1 mile (yesterday). I am planning to do the Virginia Beach marathon in the spring as I am now several behind. I need to do one in the spring and one in the fall for several years to make up the distance. However, lots of half-irons in the 2011 tri pipe line....LOTS!

Also, my father has scheduled 23 triathlons (mostly sprint distances) in the 12 months of 2011, he is 52. I'm planning to hook up with him for as many as possible...but sprint distances are too short for my taste to do too many, going for big tickets. Got the Gator half in March(which I may sacrifice for marathon) and Shawnee Half in August.
