28 October Marine Corp Marathon (26.2 miles): -- This was my 7th marathon, and my first big city marathon. To be honest I was a bit nervous of the sheer size of this event. The Marine Corp Marathon (MCM) is the US's fourth largest marathon, just getting to our starting corral was a challenge. With 25,000 other runners and this little unexpected guest named Sandy, I did not know what to expect. Finished in 4h 26m 09s my best time since 2005, read a full race report here!

12 Nov Richmond Marathon (26.2 miles):-- HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME 2nd Marathon.....How many times in your life are you able to run a marathon on your birthday? When I came across the add for this marathon in a copy of Runner's World and noticed the date and relative location...I just knew I had to run this race. Add in the fact that Richmond was named the Friendliest Marathon by the Runner's World staff...made it an easy choice for my second Marathon and new PB 4h 10m 39m (chip time). For all the high lights read the race report. Bid/Medal
24 Apr Shakespeare Marathon (26.2 miles):-- MY FIRST MARATHON.....You'll never forget your first kiss, car, love (then divorce) and you'll never forget your first marathon. 6 months ago I had the wild idea of again trying to push my body to the point that I could run 26.2 miles. And now after nearly 900 miles, five races, three 20 mile runs and tons of lonely runs in the wee hours of the morning, in the cold damp fog of the UK, I was standing on the starting line of my first marathon...(click here). Another highlight of my first marathon was that the base paper picked up on my story and published a one page feature on my training and run. I finished in 4h 13m 59s and was one happy, proud and very tired running guy!
