| Most marathon runners have a bit more of a high-tech approach to pre-race nutrition than this: I am walking out of the Stewart's Shop on Main Street in Lake Placid, about 15 minutes prior to the race, with my standard beverage: Black coffee from Stewart's. |
Vess, that noted humanitarian, took to calling me "Old Man" several years ago when he was still calling Poughkeepsie home. Of course, I am not "that old," but I think I know where the moniker stems from: He was at the finish line of the Hartford Marathon a few years' back, watching me stumble in with a PW (Personal Worst), looking very old indeed. Well, four years later, this old man is still stumbling across marathon finish lines. Sunday, it was up in Lake Placid again. I will not bore you with race play-by-play. Just a few numbers, details and stats.

Lots of congrats on this - 50 marathons is quite an achievement, I am still stuck on 9. I was wondering though - how many states you have notched? - Lurch
