    The Marathon Doesn't Owe You Anything

    The Marathon Doesn't Owe You Anything

    What do you expect from Race Day?

    What are your hopes, fears, aspirations, and insecurities?

    I love the Marathon for many reasons, maybe the most is that it humbles everyone. If we run it right, on those fateful days, when we pour all of ourselves into each step of 26.2 miles, we end up changed in some way.


    Have a beautiful race, friends.
