“Hard things take time to do. Impossible things take a little longer”

In case you have not read about the Barkley Marathons from this past weekend it was full of drama and John Kelly became the 15th finisher while Garry Robbins was oh so close on his second try. Recap of the race from Canadian Running Magazine. News of the race finish even made SI.com Online with a story on the finish and Laz's comments as well. To see the results of who finished what laps see below in the race results section.

As Meb gets ready to run his last Boston Marathon here is a good post at Runnerstribe.com: Boston by Meb - In his own words
Having been running for 44+ years it is nice to see some of the races I remember from way back still around, even if you do nto hear of them as much. Toni Reavis writes on the Gasparilla Celebrating it's 40th Anniversary.
In cased you missed it I ran a post of an interview I did with Huw Williams who is running the Marathon Des Sables this coming week. He is running the MDS to raise funds for Scope and you can donate at his Just Giving site. Also if you want to follow him during the race you can do so at the MDS Live Site. By the way this has been my most read post and glad to see so as to be able to get the word out about Huw's run.
