So here I am, 30 years old and just finished my 31st marathon on Sunday in Minnesota. What does this mean? A feeling of accomplishment? Hardly, a feeling of redeption, not at all. I saw how my buddy Steve Infascelli tore the crap out of his first marathon first hand in Minnesota this weekend and I want that. I want quality instead of quantity and maybe I will use the blog to do just that. I know I have done this umpteen times and said I was going to get serious like 123 times before, but hopefully thru my experinces over the weekend I will be changing.
Twin Cities was awesome. If you are ever considering a marathon or want to have a good experience at a marathon, there is not one thing I would change about this one. The professionalism, the crowds, the weather, the course, the quality of the Powerade to the attentiveness of the medical staff. Without the marathon I never would travel to Minnesopota to be honest. I never knew anyone from there and never knew anyone who moved there. Now, after doing it two years in a row I can’t wait to do it all again next year. When I get some more time I will write about all that happened there, but it’s a blast.
If I want to start training correctly I have put myself in a difficult spot however. I have signed up for Marine Corp Marathon right here in DC, and the Richmond Marathon. The dates of those two races are 10.25.09 and 11.14.09. Anyways all for now.
