Anyone know somebody running today? You can track their progress here if you want.

My nephew is running to represent West Point. His bib number is 1793.

As far as I know dbb does the half marathons in Texas. Don't know if he's up to a full marathon yet. I could definitely be wrong though.

I don't remember what dave's last name is so I can't look him up (you need at least the first letter of the last name). I don't think his last name is "bowling" I think that's a hobby of his.

I did look for "dave" and "david" with a last name starting with "b" (from the "db"). There's 2 Daves and 42 Davids. Shocked

I am running in the Boston Half Marathon (a race to remember) on May 27th. It raises money for the Boston Police department...for those killed in the line of duty. The Boston Marathon being run today...is a marathon you have to qualify for. In my age group...i would have to run a 26.2 miles in 2:45:00. It takes me 2:38:13...to run 13.1 miles. So im nowhere near close to qualify for that one. So the next best thing is the Boston Half marathon. Hope to see some of the PSC gang up in boston when i run. Smile

Thanks for the update Stephen! Very Happy

Quick story about Brandon and running. We saw his final high school track meet. The coach had him to run the 2 mile. Three things stuck out to me during that race

1. The kid wasn't winded at the end.
2. He lapped all buy 2 runners. Shocked
3. He was mad that he didn't lap those two

It'll be interesting to see how he fares in the race.

Site is borked. Sad

Must be a surge of people trying to see the results. One of the WP guys finished already. Still trying to find what my nephew's finish time is. Confused

Must've been mass update time. Anyway the results are in. Must've been a BIG pack crossing the line at the same time.
