Marine Corps Marathon 2007

On a personal note, this weekend I was proud to cheer on my future wife in her endeavor to run the Marine Corps Marathon.

There were quite a few people running. It is the fourth largest marathon in the US and the seventh largest in the world. Here's a link to the results: 2007 Results

Also, I am happy to report that she met my personal goal for her (although it wasn't her goal), to beat Oprah's time.
Oprah ran the marathon in 4 hours, 29 minutes and 20 seconds. Meredith beat Oprah by a little under 3 minutes. Take that, richest woman in the world.

If Meredith runs it again, my goal for her will be to beat P. Diddy's time. He ran the New York City marathon in 4 hours, 14 minutes and 54 seconds.He's P.Diddy...he runs the city.

Here's a link about the Oprah/P. Diddy marathon rivalry: LINK

Needless to say, I am extremely proud, impressed, and in awe of my bride to be's achievement. I don't think I could ever run that far at one time.
