@shectersm Can you fill me in on those details, that's pretty lucky of you. How many miles per day do you run these days? I ran the Dublin Ireland Marathon in 1998. I loved it. You must do it some time, it's mostly down hill or level. Only the Irish make things that sweet for ya. Loved every second of it and the people running were so friendly and encouraging, it was like a dream. I did it all alone. my time was 4 hours, not bad for an amature, right? I trained for a year with a Pro named Mike.

Thank you, yes it was an exciting moment to watch over 20,000 people running a marathon just outside your front door that will change every one of their lives for the better. That's a lot of positive energy to be standing next to.
