Marine Corps Marathon Finished!

Last weekend, Meredith and I completed the Marine Corps Marathon! It was a thrilling conclusion to a steady and rewarding training schedule. We were able to raise over $1200 for Fisher House in the process thanks to your generous support! Meredith has posted a great first half account of our race here:

We finished in 5 1/2 hr. That time is wonderful for me: I'm just elated to still be able to do it at my age! We are already back to training. We completed a 5K race two days ago and have a 1/2 marathon planned for the spring!

Here is my finisher page with a few photos and time/rank:

One at bat for Adam Greenberg!

Adam Greenberg made it to the major leagues in 2005 with the Chicago Cubs. During his first at-bat, the very first pitch thrown was a 92 mph fast ball that hit him in the back of the head. He suffered a severe concussion that resulted in vertigo and double-vision. For the past seven years, he has tirelessly trained to get back in the major leagues. On OCT 2nd, he will get his at-bat with the Miami Marlins in the game against the Mets.

Here is the campaign that helped make this happen:
