Marathon: My personal journey

What a KILLER race! Thank you to all of the many volunteers, Monica and her staff at the Run CRANDIC, the law enforcement and fans. You all made this experience so amazing!

During this race, I experienced some up and down moments. I could tell you all about it, but why not do it through video?

10 miles in, was feeling great "let's keep it rolling"
Halfway through and was feeling GREAT! 
Then I saw the Kirkwood CC, an island oasis covered with HILLS- more HILLS! 
Then Angie-Maske-Berka came to the rescue with pickle juice, to help my cramping legs. 4 miles left! 
Thank you to Teri Connely, Nile and all my friends for supporting this amazing journey. I was getting teary eyed here, VERY emotional. CRANDIC! 
And then I had to go Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior on the CRANDIC race, summons the lightning bolts and JIM-A-Maniacs. HEE HEE 
Feeling great with .2 miles left. #7 in the books, felt great to finish. My foot hurt like crazy, but I was numb to the many pains. The finish depended on my getting it together! 


Thank you all for the support. 

R.I.P my right pinky toe. You bore the brunt of this race, I owe you one- get better soon!

What a story Curt Ehlinger has! I first met Curt over 20 years ago, when we worked together at Eagle Point Software. Throughout the years, he has been so supportive and has shown a genuine interest in my running escapades. Last year, I saw him at the CRANDIC full marathon. He asked me if I was ready, we talked and he made me feel great about the journey.

My wife and I have donated to his campaign. Curt's mom has MS and I am sure you may know of someone who does too. It's a terrible disease. Curt's mom has battled the disease for a long time and it recently stole her ability to walk. She would walk 3 miles a day. Curt is doing what he loves for the one he loves. Running for his Mom. Running to beat MS, so others don't suffer.

Curt is running 9 marathons in 9 days. 241 miles. 

WOW! He is doing it to raise money for MSRUNTHEUS. So I have a favor to ask can you do one of these two things or both?
1. Donate to his cause. www.tinyurl.com/endms19
2. If you can't donate, that's OK. Can you show your support by commenting on the Facebook post with a motivational comment?

Running one marathon will take a person to the brink, so I can't even imagine 9 in 9 days. Curt can do this! He is a VERY tough person and a great runner.
Curt- GREAT WORK and you have got this!
