Hopefully we get a recap after the race. Great job guys. I'm not sure but I think thats a new PR for Rob as well.

Wow, what a run by Rob! Way to go buddy!

Good race by the other guys too. That's a good sign of the depth of our area runners.

Had to modify it. Finishing times are at the end 2:58:07, 3:05:04, 3:07:52 and 3:07:39 respectively. Still a great showing by all.

Jim Jordan is as consistent as a runner gets in terms of equal or negative splits. In this case, it's different (a 6 minute slowdown). I'm sure there's a story behind that. That's just not Jim Jordan.

Still, I can't dream that fast. Congrats to all who ran.

Any word on Fred Cook, Bobbi Moose?

Sorry I must've overlooked them earlier. Everyone on here has my respect. I never realized how difficult these things actually are. Congrats to all.

Thought I would also mention that former Allegany standout Brian Shrout finished in the top 200, running 2:40:13.

Brian looks to still be running well. I know his little brother, Greg, has been constantly improving. I'm glad to see him out there. Any news on when or if he'll throw his hat in the marathon?

I'm assuming bsp is Brad Paye. You really ran a good Mt Md Marathonm 3:00:00 on that course is a really solid run.

Thanks Justin. It was great to be a part of the local marathon.

I'm not sure whether Greg is working toward a Boston qualifier. Based on his 1:32 half in the Mtn. Maryland race, and some of his subsequent results, I think he would have a good shot.
