[ADTUX]

[DarkLab101]

yea yea....lol.

it'll just take a while.

anyways, congrats again, and thanx. :)

[pyropower]

Hey, It's so cool that you documented your training/journey towards the marathon. It really makes me want to get out and do something more active! lol

I like your videos!

[wvsam]

thanks... I'm glad to hear that!!! Seriously, I documented all this simply to inspire others, if an average joe like me can do it... I know others can too!

[tharock220]

I ran Houston as well. I ran a 4:23, and I was sore until last Thursday. I'll probably do it again, but not anytime soon. I thought about Austin, but I'm just not prepeared to go through miles 20-26 again.

[wvsam]

yeah, i know what you mean... i'll probably do Austin next year. Great job on your time! I'm hoping to chop off a good 50min for my next marathon.

[jaime21985]

***CONGRATULATIONS***

[wvsam]

thanks man

[laurastanley01]

WTG Sam!!! My sister ran in the 1/2 I stood on the sidelines--knee injury. Look for my brother in Austin!!! He's training in Denver so I think he will probably be pretty fast!!!Love your enthusiasm!

[wvsam]

I'm sorry to hear about your knee!!! I know how you feel... i have some bad complications while i was training for it!

[noodlehead0]

daxflames's way funnier than u dude

[wvsam]

oh... i don't doubt that!!!!! Daxflame is a SAINT! I'm just your average joe...

[chochocolate]

Thats way coool! And such a coincidence because I usually volunteer there every year at the baggage check, no joke. (Did you see a whole hoard of asian girls?) But I didnt this year because i was sick. :( Anyway im usually pretty sore just after sorting bags... i can't imagine how cramped your legs must have been! Impressive!

[wvsam]

HAHAHA... yep, they were all Asian girls...

[huronguy23]

Congrats on running the marathon.. I can't even run 100 feet to my car.

[selnvic]

next marathon...

the shirt BETTER come off!

and we have more jesus band-aids for your toes samuel l! <3

[wvsam]

haha.. we should take a vote... and yes... i'm going to need jesus :)

[kristalyn512]

Congrats! I know I like just subscribed to your videos (hmm, like yesterday...) and I was wondering when you were going to make a follow-up on your marathon, and here it is! But yeah, i'm quite impressed, I don't know if I could ever run a marathon!

[lifeinacndyswrl]

Wow, I applaud you! I only run when chased. ;)

[wvsam]

HAHA.. that's how i started out :p

[Bostancic25]

I could never finish a marathon for my life. Congratulations on finishing and raising $100! So when is the Austin one?

[wvsam]

Well this year it's on Feb 16th i think... but i would be running it next year...

[Ronc303c]

Good job. You should have shown your toenails & feet. Mine tdo that too, but I have pretty feet.

[wvsam]

yeah, i thought about that after i made it... oh well...

[jeunesseperdue]

congrats sam i know this meant a lot to you and that there were some rough times getting there. but now you've done it and you've got a heavy thing to wear around your neck to show for it :) thanks for sharing.

[wvsam]

haha.. yep, thanks for watching :)

[AndrewBravener]

hahaha, lulz at mr bush.

[courtnoogin]

"thank you feet that is very considerate of you"

haha

love it.

[wvsam]

if you show THEM respect, they'll show it right back ;)

[misssarahb]

yay! glad to hear you finished w/o having your toenails fall off or anything too dramatic. keep an eye on that big toe though. i don't know much about running, but umm... that doesn't seem like it's a good thing. lol! congrats sam!

[wvsam]

hahahaha... yep, not so much a good thing :) thanks

[Jujudapoet]

your such a cuty

[wvsam]

oh Juli.. how you tease me :)

[delka51]

congratz, man. i think it's so cool that you run marathons in support of a good cause. keep it up and good luck with your toenails.

[wvsam]

thanks, me and my toenails could use some :)

[Maryangel24]

hey congratz :) really cool u actually did it and that ur back didn't hurt. sry to hear bout the cramps :S... glad u still have all ur toenails haha. anyway, i think it's really cool u did it for the cancer supporting thing!! so great of u :)

[wvsam]

I do what i can.... no, but really... i wish i could have raised a lot more than just $100... there's always next time.

[Maryangel24]

but still, if u think about it $100's not nothing! at least u did something for it and if u want to do something like that again, even better! :) very kind hearted hehe :)

take care <3

[dafttool]

You have every reason to be proud of yourself for making it through a marathon. Very few of us would even dare do something that physically exhausting. Sorry you got lonely along the way though. I've actually wondered before about that, so I guess you confirmed that it does happen. But I diverge... hehe

[wvsam]

yeah, 5hrs of just running by myself gets kind of boring :) but the crowds make it fun

[samerijr55]

good job the longest thing I ever ran was 3.5 miles and that was for some sort of school club thing.

P.s. Lucky you get warmth where you live yesterday it was in the negitives here

[wvsam]

the high for this week is 72º.... IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER! haha

[aussielexi]

lol i diverge.

congratulations on being a marathon runner and i doubt shaq could run a marathon sooo you're obviously way better than him... :p

[wvsam]

yeah, all shaq has to do is take a couple of steps and he's done

[donnyboyblue]

.....hey sam, great rundown on yur marathon race, awesome medal......think this one is #10 as there is another 9 but hey whose counting ha ha.....ur the man....with the writers strike going am watching reruns of yur "kickball" vid.....peace out.

[wvsam]

i hardly doubt i make up for the writers strike... haha but thanks. I didn't really count the "People I want you to meet..." video... i figured it was more of a blog. I just put it in with the running cuz i can :)

[wvsam]

WAIT!!! I see what you're saying about the #10 thing hahaha... I didn't even see it... thanks, i'll fix it...
