3:58!

Here are the official results from the Fargo marathon. This doesn't include the chip time, which is time from when you cross the start line until you cross the finish line. It is from when the gun goes off, and because I was quite a ways back in the pack, my chip time should be a little better. My goal was to run it in 4 hours.

Way to go, Mitch! I looked for your name in the paper but couldn't find you. I'm trying to talk Andrew into training and doing a couple runs ourselves. He is a runner. He plans to join cross-country this fall. I used to run and would love to start again. I have a LONG ways to go. lol I won't be updating my blog as often as Chad either. Mostly cuz I lead a very mundane existance. Well, congrats again on the run. You made your goal!
