Congratulations Dano!
With 30,000 runners, he came in the top 200
Amazing considering this was his first Marathon.
Amazing considering this was his first Marathon.
With a finish time of 3:09:43 he now qualifies for the Boston Marathon.
It was also exciting to see Josh Cox, who holds the American title for the 50K.
His goal for this event was to beat the world record. Unfortunately he missed by a mere 7 seconds.
Josh set the American record at this same venue in 2009.
It's been an insightful year, watching Dano's dedication and training.
As a business owner who works long hours, and a father of 3 young children, most of his training came before the sun rose each morning.
His greatest support has been our daughter Amy.
The loud cheering and enthusiastic crowds create such positive energy for the athletes.
Mr. Cactus and I were just happy to be there, and to help with the grandbabies so they could see their dad run.
Tonight 5 year old Isaak said "This has been the best day of my life. I got to see my dad run a Marathon!"
