MARATHON #6 : richmond 2010

my first marathon was Richmond 2001. even i can barely believe that. nine years ago? already? i didn't set out to be a regular, but here I am, nine years and five marathons later, still in love with the game. i've learned from my experiences out there, and i'm getting better every year. my first thon took me 5 hours, if i remember correctly. tomorrow morning, i'll be out there with my CAN OF WHOOP-ASS and trying for four.
