 It was a chilly day for a 26.2 mile run as Saturday was the annual Blue Ox Marathon. Leaving the way for the men was a familiar face as BSU alumni and former basketball player Brock Tesdahl won his third marathon in the past four years with a record time of 236.35. The women's champ was Stacy Knowha who won with a time of 321.52, her first time running in the event and she won it by over 10 minutes. I normally run a fall marathon and I couldn't run my normal fall marathon and so this was the next best one that I chose so I'm glad I came. You know it felt like a training run. I mean it just felt like I was up for a Saturday morning run and it was just a lot of fun. I probably took off a month and a half away from running. You know I just was tired out, drained out and about three weeks ago I decided to come back and I got back in the treadmill and running outside and here I am now with a personal best here in Bemidji. Here are the top three times for the marathon. We'll have more on the event shortly in tonight's Community Spotlight.
