I'm a marathoner!
My thanks go out to the people of New York who came out to cheer along the entire length of the course, my wife who snuck in and ran 10 miles with me from 16 to the finish, to JJ & Tara for putting us up (and putting up with us) for the weekend, and to Neil and Rodney and everyone at Woodland Hills Physical Therapy for patching me up to get me back out there!
It's a long path from Good Intentions to finished reality. Only by trying the impossible can we find our limits.
