Well, this was Marathon #43, one of the best and considered one of the 10 fastest in the country. Run along the St. Johns River under a canopy of moss covered oaks in the rain, absolutely delightful. Not the fastest for me, but managed a first place finish in the 'Old Guy Group'......okay, there were only 5 old guys who managed to cross the finish line, but who's counting....first place is first place. We remain undefeated in the Sunshine State having finished 1st last February in the Jacksonville Beach Run for Breast Cancer. Next run will be Feb. 22 in Jacksonville Beach/Ponte Vedra to defend the title as 'Fastest Old Guy on the Beach'. Getting ready for Boston in April with grandson Eric...stay tuned.
 
Happy New Year,    Old Guy from New England
