I successfully ran the 2011 Carlsbad Marathon in 4:08:58. I thought I should share some statistics, pictures and videos from the event.
I don’t think I would have been able to make it without the support of my loving wife. She put up with my 4 day a week running schedule, each of which sometimes lasted as long as 4 hours (bye bye weekend). She also pushed me to train, when I was too lazy and wanted to call it quits, egging me along all the time.
