26.2 miles: 2:28:42 (5:41 pace)

Girma texted me that it was windy and humid out there, and added this: “Not bad for an old man that hasn’t done a thing for the last 5 years.” Not sure that 32 classifies as old, but we are proud of him nonetheless. Next up for Girma? The NYC Marathon … in three weeks!
