Well, my 22nd marathon is complete, what a great day Saturday for the marathon, I wanted to finish around 4:15 or so, and but I had set my sights on a 4:30, as I ran with the 4:30 pace group for about 18 miles………but the warm weather and my lack of long runs prior to the marathon had me finish somewhere in the high 4:30′s, if I still worried about time, I’d be dissapointed, but I was out there having fun, taking pictures, and meeting lots of great runners, one girl I met at mile 22 had come all the way from Birmingham, Alabama to run here in Hartford.
It was a great time, my legs are killing me today……..and I can’t wait ’til next year! Here are just a few of the many photos I took with my I-Phone out on the course:
The start line early in the morning………
A sneaker as big as mine:

The start of the race:
Broadcast House………next year, it will be gone………..
Over the bridge, heading to East Hartford………..
Volunteers at Mile 19……….
Great River Park, heading towards 20…….
The city is in sight, Mile 21!
3 miles left, and it was getting hot…………
Mile 24, notice the Whalers jersey up ahead!
Mile 26!
The final yards……….
I ate everything on this plate, then a butterscotch sundae………and it was all gooooooood…………
Tom,
Congrats on your 22nd marathon. I remember when your completed count was… 0. You have come a long way and it is great to see you having fun with it.
Wow! I’m impressed! Congratulations on the race! It was fun to see all the photos and follow you through the race
I miss CT…and hanging out with you on work. Take care!
Great Job Tom! I envy you for doing the marathon! The half was good but I am definitely in for the full marathon next year! Congratulations on a job well done!!!!
Great job Tom! Congrats on your 22nd marathon! I’m not a marathon runner but I admire those who do.
Thanks for posting all the pictures of Buster. He’s a cutie! I’ve adopted 3 rescue pups myself. They’re a blessing!
Hey Tom, I’m wondering if you’ve heard of a product called MonaVie. If not, it’s a wellness drink that contains whole, raw fruits including the acai berry, the #1 superfood. Very good for helping with recovery time from working out such as with your hurting legs.
Check out my site, http://www.the-team.biz/mv983220. If you’d like a bottle, I’d be happy to give you one free of charge along with a DVD that a doctor is on discussing what exactly MonaVie does for our bodies.
Please email me.
