I've run 12 marathons over the last 14 years. I have many that were disappointing for one reason or another, and many that were kick-ass awesome.

Rest day today, but had fun out with my 9 year old around town, including the New York Aquarium. The trip to Baskin Robbins afterwards unfortunately tied my stomach in knots, but was worth it, and I'm [...]
