RACE DAY HAS ARRIVED: MY VIDEO BLOG OF THE SHAMROCK MARATHON, VA BEACH

The sea was angry that Sunday morning ...(I feel like being poetic) From the pre-race chat on the hotel balcony to the sprint at the finish line underneath the watchful eye of the NEPTUNE statue, here is my video blog of Ben's first marathon on race day, Sunday 3/16/08. Special thanks to Steve and Logo Man for supporting Ben with me! (Handing out Gatorade and Power Bars, catching stinky discarded clothing, AND ringing the COW BELL! I've got a fever...)

While at the starting line, we met Chris from Arlington who recognized me. Here is his picture. He was also clumped with the 4 hour pace keepers, like Ben. Nice meeting you Chris!
