Last weekend Bart and I traveled to Memphis, TN for a marathon. This was his 10th marathon. He loves it. And he's good at it. He did awesome. God gave him a runner's body. With the right nutrition during the race, he could run and run and run. He really wanted to qualify for Boston. However, his time was 3:11.53. He missed the qualifying time by 54 seconds. Unreal. Really. But, this was his best time ever. He told me a few days after the race, he wished there was another one close by in about 3 weeks. We'll see where the next marathon will be. I have a feeling this is something he'll be doing for a while. (And I have to admit...I love it too!) :)
Loading up on carbs the night before the race. A great pasta meal with friends.
Got the Garmin, got the race number. Geared up and ready.
Mile 13. Feeling great and looking good.
Hey, this is Memphis, remember. Looks like Bart's "all shook up".
A great weekend, great memories, and great friends. Jamie, you're on for the next one! ;)

Way to go Bart Man! Congratulations on your best time!
I can't wait. You mean we get to go watch, not run, right? I can't believe it was only 54 seconds, but it was his best time yet so you know he can do it. I do wish he could give me part of his running body. Thanks for the update. No hard feelings for leaving us out of the fun:)
