Greg and his twin brother Matt ran in the Chicago Marathon this morning and they did AWESOME! They had a goal of finishing in 3 hours, 10 minutes, which is the qualifying time for the Boston Marathon. They met and exceeded their goal, finishing in 3 hours, 8 minutes and 42 seconds (to be exact!). Just in case you don't want to do the math, here's the breakdown - they ran an average of 7 minute 11 second miles for 26.2 miles...this is unthinkable for a non-runner like me, and pretty impressive no matter what. Great job guys!
Joel and I (and Brian & Emily) braved the 36 degree weather and went to the 10-mile mark to cheer them on...here they are running up to where we were.
They were ahead of pace enough to stop and say hi and take pictures for a minute - they made it look effortless and fun!
