More Boston kudos

Just ran into Marist Running alum Adam Ritter in the locker room here at the McCann Center and he was wondering why there was no mention of his Significant Other on the blog after Boston. Sorry, dude! Here goes …

Michelle Stathers, who is an assistant crew coach here at Marist, ran a marvelous race. She was the top local finisher among women in 3:18:25, and was 524th overall in the women’s field. Great stuff!

In addition, a shout-out to my early-morning jogging partner Fast Tony, who ran a rare negative split (1:33:41/1:32:43 for a 3:06:24) at Boston on Monday. Even better, his 5km splits were amazingly consistent: 22:15, 22:09, 22:04, 22:24, 22:12, 22:12, 22:11, 21:36.

Both were mentioned in my weekly running column in Dutchess County’s Finest Daily Newspaper, linked here.
