Marathon Man!

Two years ago, Tony was registered to run a full marathon in the first ever Modesto Marathon. He was many months into his training when he got injured and stopped running altogether for over a year. I wrote about it here and here. 

Fast forward two years and last Sunday, he completed his first half marathon. He gradually started running again and began training for it last fall.

Tony's Stats:

Half marathon = 13.1 miles

Division Place 145

Gender Place 118

Age Place 19

Start Time 07:03:12.041

Elapsed 01:47:39.490

Do you see that he placed #19 in his [40-44] age group? Isn't that super amazing? I am so, so proud of him! Here he is at the end of it. He doesn't even look tired! He is so proud of his medal.

I had to be in Salinas at 7:45 that morning for another volleyball tournament, so he made the trip to Modesto solo. I wish we could have been there to cheer him on. Next time. Or, maybe next time I will run the 5K! Did I really just write that? Oh.

Go Tony! You are my love and my inspiration.
