Marine Corps Marathon 2005
Arlington, VA and Washington, DC
Why run a marathon? Well I run marathons so I have a goal to train for and big marathons in cities are just plain fun. I love the crowd!
The Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) 2005 was my fourth marathon as I ran it in 2000, 2001 and the ING NYC Marathon in 2004. MCM 2005 would be a goal to lose weight, finish with a personal best but more importantly finish feeling health and well; quite a task after 26.2 miles. After the ING NYC Marathon in November 2004 I knew I had a lot of work to do.
But I did it! I finished the MCM 2005 in great shape with my personal best 53 pound slighter. I was proud of myself.
Although the MCM is not as big as a production as the ING NYC marathon it is fun. This year was special as it was the 30th running and there were 30,000 people that entered.
Look at these pictures, first of me during the ING New York City marathon in 2004 and then of the MCM 2005 in Arlington, VA/Washinton, DC. By the way I wore the same shirt and shorts in both marathons.
