this BELOW was sent to my e-mail, (for all you numbers folks) the only time that has ever mattered to me is the last and I'd strongly recommend that everyone should decide how you want the finish line clock to look and run with that single goal in mind. As the saying goes, you can't win a marathon in the first 10k but you sure can loose one (of course this means all your goals as well) so my best advice is to try and run even splits by employeeing correct pacing. We all know what we're capable of, so don't be numb and run outside of that and you'll most always meet your goals. Of course the marathon always holds the house cards so nothing in marathon running is ever automatic. (thats way I love them, a giant chess match!!)

: yes indeed that was a MDI Marathon
: medal...story goes like this, when I ran NYC
: for the first time back in 1980 I was so
: moved by watching Fred Lebow in action then
: blown away by his race. I told myself right
: then and there that someday I would start a
: marathon back in Maine. It took me until
: 2002 to finally get her done. so our medal,
: from one race director to another, is merely
: a small, but sincere gesture just to say
: thank you for inspiring me...we have been
: doing this for many years, delivering a MDI
: medal to Fred, and I hope the tradition
: always continues.(you all here me?)
:
: another pretty cool thing for me is that the
: last time an American won NYC (1982-Alberto
: Salazar) I was in that race too and it was
: only a little bit faster than I managed on
: Sunday. So its fun to have been in the same
: event 27 years later when another US runner
: won!
:
: finally huge congrats to all finishers and
: especially my friends and teammates Mary,
: (who is a marathon runner now!) Roger (who
: is steady as a rock and strong as steel) and
: anyone I might have missed. I secretly hoped
: I might be able to run some with Joanie but
: I never was on the same planet as her (who
: is?) she bolted from the gun.
:
:
: anyway happy with time and place but I can
: do better and am not afraid to try.

: I was watching the NYC Marathon on the local
: NY NBC station and as they cut out for a
: break they had a shot of the Fred Lebow
: statue. I could swear that there was an MDI
: Marathon medal around his neck. I DVR'd it
: and paused it to see if I could get a better
: look, but it was blurry. Don't have HD yet!
: I know Gary was there and maybe he put it
: there? I've seen pictures of the statue
: with medals from other years.
