David, Congratulations and I am happy for you. It sounds like you planned and trained for your first marathon…..and the outcome has changed you. Awesome!

Patience – “No need to get foolish so early!”….that is great! Someone gave you good advice.

Thank you for your runners story…..Boy

[...] I know we all have DV fatigue, but I’m going to try to milk every last drop out of this Marathon experience. I wrote about the race, and about the pre- and post-race happenings, but this is something even more personal, and I hesitate to share it. Virtually no one outside of my family knows this side of me, as I keep it very private (haha everyone laughs, as he publishes it in his blog). I know this sort of thing puts off a lot of people, and people will look at and judge me differently after learning this, but I think it would be disingenuous and morally dishonest if I didn’t include it here. Some will scoff, some will discount, and that’s fine. If you don’t like reading religious ideas or hearing about spirituality, you should stop reading now. But I figured Christmas (remember, it’s supposed to be a religious holiday?) was as good a time as any to reveal this part of me and my running. [...]

Yeah baby – that’s what I’m talking about.

I saw your post on runningtimes.com – The race report is great and captures the true essence of marathoning at its best…. What are you shooting for next – I assume you’ve got a sub 2:50 planned – hopefully this is just a start and you have many years of marathoning ahead…

Congratulations, David. Sarah and I were actually very excited for you. I just kept thinking, “Don’t screw up his pace; don’t screw up his pace.” Obviously, 2:58:25 means I didn’t get in your way too much. Way to go, man!

“Get out of my way, you damn dirty apes!….I mean, walkers!” haha.

Very inspirational, but too damn tough! Your time gave me motivation for my own long run that day. Your story, though, is giving me pre-AT&T angst. :)
