Man, I absolutely have to lose weight. OR, Wow, look at how powerful I am, running 26.2 miles carrying 45 extra pounds the whole way...

Man, I absolutely have to lose weight. OR, Wow, look at how powerful I am, running 26.2 miles carrying 45 extra pounds the whole way...not quite carrying Frodo up Mt. Doom, heck it's maybe more impressive. I only had to hoist that diminutive hobbit for a few feet of volcano, steep, but manageable. But seriously, I am FAT. Just finished the NYC Marathon 2016 in 6:02:33. It's official, I'm a back o' the packer now. By God, I won't be forever, but as for today... eeeeek. Let me just say this, of all of the big city marathons I've run (Los Angeles 4x's, San Francisco, Chicago, Marine Corps, etc...) I have never seen such intense, sustained, out of their heads crazy spectators...the sound was deafening every step of the 5 boroughs (Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx & Manhattan)...I think they compete with each other...it was a 5 way tie. I ran Portland only a month ago, so I was happy that my legs held up. I think it's fair to say that I'm a veteran marathoner now, well...I had to use every mental and physical trick in the book to get around the course today. I know my Mom was looking down on me today...kicking my ass every step...thanks ma! That's all. Special thanks to everyone with the NYCM and ASICS for their hospitality.
