Danielle found this article about the last race I was in, been meaning to post it...  Also, some good news - she was accepted in the Houston lotto, so we will both be doing the full in January.  Good stuff.

Nice article - must feel great to have your name as first place winner.

The picture of the Maniacs - there were a lot of them at the Iowa marathon. They scare me a bit. :-)

Nice joe... Hope the training continues to go well. I can't figure out how you guys train in that heat. I take my running shoes off to you!

From Tracy on Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 10:11:45 from 173.24.38.54

Cool article! Glad Danielle got in!

From DaleG on Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 13:51:28 from 76.27.13.205

Very cool on the article and for both of you getting into Houston. Is that where the Olympic Marathon Trials will be held?

From SlowJoe on Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 14:00:35 from 132.3.53.68

DH - the really scary thing is I bet at least half those Maniacs had a Saturday morning marathon somewhere, a few hours later...

Rye - thanks, hope you are able to keep those running shoes on!

Thanks Tracy, should be fun.

DG - yeah the trials are the day before. My parents live a mile off the route, so should be cool to catch a glimpse.

Great news that you are both in, congratulations again on the win, that is a nice article.

From JG on Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 16:50:40 from 74.190.51.252

Cool article, couple of rabbit/turtle race story lines in there, way to finish strong & not have that be the case in your race! Congrats to Danielle, cool you guys will be in that on together!! Nice 6 miles too! :)

Awesome you got some press Joe!

From SlowJoe on Fri, Jul 01, 2011 at 16:19:35 from 75.109.104.60

Thanks Flat

JG - I noticed that most faded pretty hard, the slow starting pace was definitely the key

April - yes - I'm kind of a big deal..
