Great job Lukester!!!! Proud of ya!!
Awesome, awesome achievement. It's so hard to keep going when your body is just begging for you to stop. You should be incredibly proud of yourself. Have fun celebrating tonight!
Life is good.
Nice job toughing it out and meeting your goal. Go have another beer.
I know that's right! I got so high after my first half, I had leaves on my pillow when I woke up the next morning lol!
I'm currently in the process of getting my drink on. mhm.
Sincere thanks, you wonderful people. You're the best.
You still need to shave 2 minutes off to match the internet Mom.
I'll give you to the end of August but I have a feeling it won't take that long..
Run Like a Mother
Congratulations!! How exciting and great job sticking with it when you wanted to stop!
Congrats, Luke! Very happy for you! Sub-2 is something that has eluded me and I know how special that must be! Celebrate!

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Way to go Luke! So happy you reached your goal. Cheers!

Smaller By The Day
Amazing job Luke. Your story reminds me of something Chael Sonnen said the other day. I'm paraphrasing, but:
They'll tell you that failure is not an option. That's ridiculous. Failure is always an option. It is the easiest and most readily available option. It's your choice though.
You chose not to fail, even though it would have been a heck of a lot easier. That makes that PR even better.

Actually, my next half will be in Nov. I will be faster than 1:57:44 though, so you better get busy :P
