Those splits are a thing of beauty, Jack. What a great race for you! I'd gladly exchange my magical finish in the dark with a piss poor finish time for an awesome fast time like yours with a finish amidst a quiet and indifferent crowd. Any day of the week!

Awesome race, Jack. Are you going to go alone to all your races now?

Nice race, Jack, and way to hold off the 25-something guy! Congrats on your half!

Wow. Great race, Klompus! What a comeback. Showing up at the start thinking "8:00 might be good", and ending up with 7:19? That is just sick. And you had some kind of crazy turbo boost kicking in for those last 2 miles. Can't wait to see what you'll do at AoG.

Great job, Jack. Way to turn in a very strong race without even doing anything specific for it.
Fending off the cocky guy, very nice! Hope your marathon training goes well.

Geeemineee Christmas.......How'd I miss this one??
Anywhoo.....I'm about 1 beer and a half glass into some Rodney Strong Cabernet so forgive me if this comes out like soup....
Way to go!!
Kick the sh!t outta that punk 25 year old.
If I gave 2 shits about running a ful marathon, I'd join you at the AoG. But I like my knees & hips too much.
Merry Christmas!
P.S. I wondered what the !#%^@# happened to your avatar & then I remembered......FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US!!!
