Your race reports are excellent; I ran some of the same Canton-area races and can see just how well you covered things. This will be one of my first places to check when scouting out new races for 2011. And your phenomenal progress is motivation to keep pushing. Would like to see a yearly recap (something like your Q1 recap) if you get the time. Thanks, Tony, for putting together this blog.

I thought that was you. I had first just noticed it was someone with the same shirt on as me, but then, after you passed, I realized it was you. I run that trail a couple times a week during my son's football practice. Easy way to get some miles in and kill some time. My running's going great. I've cut back on the races as I get closer to my marathon, but everything is going well. Hope all is well with you. Hey Matt. I thought that was you.

That race looks great, but my son has a football game that morning, so it's limiting my choices. I might have to do a Sunday morning race... Thanks Matt!

You are smokin' Good Job! If you need a race for 10/23 check out http://www.active.com/running/cumming-ga/fast-pace-race-5k10k-2010. Good race to set a PR on. Fairly flat - first mile is mostly downhill. Geeze dude – 20:37 and 42:20? You are smokin’ Good Job!

Both of those races look awesome. I really wanted to do the Frogtown race, but my wife and I are running the 13.1 Atlanta on 10/3. The Hickory Flat race looks good too (and right down the street from my house), but I'm doing the U.S. 10K Classic. So many races, so little time... Good luck in getting everything together for Big Sur. That sounds incredible. Matt: It’s definitely expensive, but still cheaper than golf and better for me. Both of those races look awesome.

Quite a goal you have set for yourself. ...and I thought my running hobby was expensive! I had my time as 29:09 so I think it was off by a good 30 seconds. Congrats on the 3rd place. I know it looks like your year is full but check out http://www.christianrunners.org/frogtown/ -its one sweet killer race. And if you want to race me on labor day for a 5k... http://hideandseekdaycamp.net/news/index.php?id=1043186474426338261 . I'd like to try to do the whole Dirty Spokes series next year. We were just too busy this year. Too bad, I think I could have placed and my son Could have taken 1st. A couple of us at work are planning to fly our to Big Sur Next May to run the marathon on the coast. Hope my knees last. Hope to see you at some more races. Tony,

That's so funny. Yeah, I was running Sawnee Mtn thinking that I'm pretty sure I was following the same guy that I followed around Boling Park. So, now, not only was it the same guy, but he also read my blog post. Crazy. Good run! You were right, the hill did get worse. :) By the way, was your time a bit off from the official time as well? Hope to see you at some future races. I really like the Dirty Spokes runs and I think I'm going to try to do more of them next season. Matt: LOL. That’s so funny.

Did you run boling park too? I think I ran near you at the end of that race also. I was they guy who was making sure you were not in my age group at that race.
