Awesome" http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/11/19/sports/NA_SPT_ATH_Philadelphia_Marathon.php what they failed to mention is WHO holds the Philadelphia Marathon course record and where he is from. The answer is of course Sam Pelletier from Fort Kent Maine, in 2:16. It tells you just how good Maine runners were/are and that even Kenyans can't match some of their performances. I thought of Sammy out there on Sunday and told myself that I had to run tough because first I am a Maine runner, and second a Crow and we all know how tough those gnarly black birds are!... --Previous Message--

: thanks everybody! Jim I heard you Caw at
: around 23! Yup I'm pleased with this run. I
: knew my pacing job at NYC felt pretty easy
: and it was good to go hard from the gun and
: run my race and not Lance's. For the record
: this was my 60th career marathon, 44th sub 3
: and 19th sub 2:50. Not that all this old
: news really matters as we are all only as
: good as our last race. As for any special
: training I just run how I feel and do my
: best to keep it fun.

: Oh yes getting from Philly back to Cranberry
: Island on race afternoon was worth another
: 26M or so for sure and finally getting a
: shower on the island last night felt pretty
: darned good. Besides the planes, trains,
: cars, subways and boats needed to get me
: home I also got to bike home for the final
: 1M!!
