Love your resolutions. Good luck getting rid of your “can’t” this year! I need to step on with the running, I was doing so great last year and then the house projects did me in. ;)

Sounds like a pretty good year overall. I’ve pretty much put this year behind me and am looking forward to ’10. As far as time management goes, have you check out the book “The Ultimate Sales Machine”? I’m reading it now for my new job — good stuff in there.

Comment on What a Great Day! Richmond Suntrust Marathon by der5er

Thanks Bob! I normally can’t remember much, but this race was the most memorable I’ve been in so far.

David,
I read your post about signing up just before I wrote this. Even though I swore to my wife that I wouldn’t run another marathon for a few years, I actually considered signing up for next year after reading that. Training for 26.2 takes up so much time, I think I’ll probably stick with the half next year.

Congratulations!! The emotions of crossing that finish line are unbelievable. I was so bummed about not doing any of the races yesterday that I signed up for the 2010 marathon.

Good run Greg. Congrats on finishing strong in you first marathon. I’m amazed at people like you who remember every segment of the race. When I race and try to recall things like that, I think, “Hmmm, xx street — yeah, that was hard.”

Like you, I don’t like the long, straight stretches. Give me turns and some up-and-down (not much, but just enough to keep things interesting).

Thanks. I’ve actually had this one in my head for a while. I’ve never been able to put the words down though. I was still afraid it would come out disjointed, it was really hard to stay on topic and not go off on a ranting tangent. So many things our country could have and should have learned and fixed after 9/11/01 have gone unnoticed and unrepaired, I could have probably gone on for a couple thousand more words if I had let myself.
