While I realize that this blog’s primary focus is to keep our adoring fans (we do have fans, right?) updated on our latest running thoughts or race results, we want to toss out some praises and well wishes to some of our favorite runners.
First off, Monday was a huge day for one of our running (and life) heroes, who just so happens to be David’s father in-law. The T-Man (Truman Smith), completed the 2010 Boston Marathon in 4:06:38! Not only is this his 4th finish in the world’s most historic race, but it is also his 81st marathon over all! So congrats to you Truman, and know that you are not only an inspiration to all of us runners, but you are also someone we are honored to call friend (and Father In-Law).
Second, we want to toss out some good luck wishes to Beth and Rob Palmer. They will be venturing into their first Full and Half Marathon’s this weekend. Beth has been in full training for the Oklahoma City full marathon, even completing a 22 mile run completely by herself. That impressed me, if I had been on a run that long I would have ran to the local Starbucks and read the paper for a few hours! This will be Rob’s first half marathon and despite his training methods not quite matching his wife’s, we are certain they will both do AWESOME!
Also, please keep us posted on your latest results. We would love to share in your successes with you.
As Truman always says, it's quantity not quality!
