  Marine Corps Marathon recap!
October 25th, 2009
The sun was shining brightly over our nations capital on Marathon Sunday.  The temperature was a perfect 53 at the sound of the cannon.  The FranksWine.com Marathon Team of 9 had spent months training while raising over $21,420 for the Kids of St Jude Children's Research Hospital. Thousands of US Marines lined the streets cheering us on, but the one that meant the most to me was Officer Carlos who put the bling around my neck at the finish line!
 
Marine Marathon
 
 

My hope to qualify for Boston diminished as the week grew near to Sunday.  I was at the tail end of a nasty virus and in hindsight probably shouldn't have run it.  Just two days prior I had secured an available bib for the November 22nd Philadelphia Marathon, and I was planning on not running DC which would have given me another month to recoup and be fully prepared.   However, Philly officials wouldn't allow the bib to be transferred into my name. So, I realized it was going to be a game-day decision for me to run on Sunday.  I woke up feeling great pumped with all those endorphins and nervous excitement, so I made my way to the start line.  The first 10 miles I was on pace to run a PR of 3:30, but by the halfway point my body was telling me I wasn't quite ready to continue the push.  At that point I was ready to throw in the towel.  My pace dropped dramatically by mile 17 as my knees were screaming for me to stop, and my knees NEVER hurt.  I spent the last 9 miles running, walking, running, stretching, running, cursing, running.  I've never been so relieved to see mile 26... I gave a final strong push up the hill towards the finish line at the Iwo Jima Memorial. OohRah!  I ended up finishing in 4:26:28, an hour beyond my game-day goal, and an hour and six minutes beyond my qualifying time for Boston... ugh!

 
     
  Frank   As I walked down the stairs backwards this morning feeling the crushing pain in my quads and calves I wondered which city I would hit next to qualify....Thank you once again to each and every one of you who made a contribution to St Jude on my behalf!
