Just a quick update after landing in JFK today.....Redemption after 2009's 3:18!  I knew I had no business racing this monster, but everything was booked already...plus stayed at the Wynn!  Considering the lack of quality runs due to my Hong Kong/Macau hiatus, and recovery after the NYC marathon, I'm very pleased with the result.  I have to say that the wheels came off early after mile 16 (although my splits states mile 20, i knew by mile 16 it wasn't going to be pretty); but managed to gut it out with a 3:05.  With 23 marathons and 7th of the year, it is safe to say 2010 marathoning is over!  I'm looking forward to 2011.

One quick note; while waiting for the shuttle outside the Wynn, for the Marathon Maniac (#20518) who was complaining ad nauseum over the stench of Tiger Balm to soothe muscle soreness, you would think someone who does myriad marathoning would be more understanding.   Big mistake...big mistake; I guess not!

And finally, whats up Zab!
