Cleveland Marathon Quick Race Recap
Running the Cleveland Marathon was a bucket list race for me. Being a long suffering Browns fan, running this marathon with it's ties to my favorite sports team seamed natural. And a good friend Tony M. would be running this as his first marathon so last fall I decide to run this race. Being that I live in Va, it's a substantial investment in time and money, along with training hours to decide to run a marathon so far from home. But I had no idea this would become the most expensive marathon EVER.
Race entry: $100.00
Hotel and fuel: $500.00
Hitting a deer on the way: THOUSANDS

Running My 10th Marathon, seeing a friend run his first: Priceless
Cleveland Marathon, most expensive race ever, I hope! A full race report will be posted in the next few days.
Finished in 4:24:43 but that's for another blog.
Home safe and sound...Blessed.
You had a rough weekend but still a great race, you finished #10 and were there for a friend for his 1st, nothing can change those facts or diminish them!
ReplyDeleteI can't put into words how much it meant to me to have you there. This was my third attempt at a marathon with late training injuries stopping me the first 2 times 20+ years ago. I think I had a lot more angst than most first timers. Let's face it. 16 months ago I was a 270 lb, 51 year old, 2 pack a day smoker. I was worried they would close the course before I finished. Your presence and support made it feel a lot more achievable and much less daunting. Thanks so very much!
