Marathon Winner

I didn't realize that the winner of the marathon is an MIT (Marathoners in Training) coach! That's my training group. Here's an interview he did with a local TV station.

There will be an informal run this weekend but I think I'm going to give myself a few weeks to let my shin splints heal. They still hurt, but day by day they are getting better. I plan to start going back to the gym next week and riding the bike and doing core exercises. I can't keep eating as much as I am without some exercise!!!! I was used to carb loading, and now I have to back off again.

My husband's race report is posted on the Running Times forum. He half-jokingly mentioned to me he was thinking of doing the West Virginia marathon next weekend. I told him I'd hide the car keys if he was serious. Now he's backed off and is thinking of the half marathon. I still think he's crazy.
