Scott has a passion for running! He wanted to run a marathon as a life goal – and I think the Boston Marathon was even part of that dream. He started training two years ago in June 2008 – he could not run a mile but kept trying & now he can run & run & run.

To be an official Marathon Maniac, one must run a certain combination of races in a certain number of days, months, etc. Scott ran three full marathons (26.2 miles) in two months!

  • Spinx Marathon – 3:37:17.
  • SunTrust National Marathon – 3:21:44. Boston Qualifier!
  • February 21st - Myrtle Beach Marathon (canceled to “snow” – he ran anyway) – no official time
  • March 6th – Snickers Marathon in Albany, Georgia – 3:28:00.
  • April 19th – Boston Marathon – 3:42:17.

One of the best part of racing is running with friends. We have both been inspired by other runners. These pictures include some of our running friends.

Great collage. So inspiring. I can't believe how far he has come in just two years! Good for him--and I know you and the boys aren't just duds either. He has been a good example for the whole family!

Yay! Congrats--Scott is now officially a maniac (not that we didn't already know)! See you in October...
