Marathons R Us

Had a great time in DC, the weather was clear but freeeeezing, 31 with a wind chill of 27 (still better than being too hot). Thanks for all the support in training. I definitely wouldn't be able to do this well without my fellow psychopa...I mean, runners. Brush with celebrity note: Drew Carey was our official starter. He then jumped in the marathon and finished in 4:37. Not too shabby.

Ricky was cruising in Frankfurt. He ran a much smarter, solid marathon. And check out this little technological leap: Frankfurt has a series of streaming video feeds in front of each timing mat that tracks each runner and creates a quick video clip as they cross the mat. Ricky's results page has a video link to his series of video clips (so no one can accuse him of throwing in a sub).

Click here to check it out. Ricky is wearing the orange sleeveless crewneck, no hat. (note: the video begins with the obligatory commercial and intro). Ain't the future fun?

Good luck to Michelle on her debut marathon in Savannah this weekend. Given how solid she's been ticking off those long runs, she should have no troubles. Also good luck to anyone heading to New York.

I won't be in attendance for our long run this Sunday, but will make it out the next.
