MTA: I'll bet just about anything that someone runs a marathon because of your report.

Um...never had any desire to run one...until all these awesome reports start popping up. Now I'm beginning to change my mind. If I do run one I'm putting the blame all on you, Q! Smile

Congrats on a great race!

Awesome report and an awesome job. Not too cool to make my eyes well at work though. Must have been the low afternoon sun.

Dude. I was fine until you talked about grasping for your dad's hand. And the rest of it, too. Damn you, Q. Congratulations!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Really though, a LOT of the motivation to run this thing came from the folks on this sight. I just wanted to find some way to return the favor. And my wife doesn't give me that much beer allowance, so there you have it. Wink

Just because running is simple does not mean it is easy.

Relentless. Forward. Motion. <repeat>

You did and then some. Wow, from 3 bills and the smokes to finishing 26.2, and to have the family there to share it with you. That is something special, something that you'll remember forever. Thanks for sharing your story. Congratulations!

Not at it at all.

Joe.
