I ran Hamptons Marathon and used it as just a training run. My goal was to finish a 100 mile race before the year end so I wanted to pack in as many long run as possible. I didn’t even try hard and PR’d and at mile 16, I was able to pass everyone who was ahead of me. |

I actually paced a blind person once. It’s wonderful to help him achieve his goal as he had no one that was able to help him that month. |
