Queens Half
That's me last Sunday in the Queens Half-Marathon. I ran it in 2:22. I am going to pass on all the detail, though. Sunday is the last game at Yankee Stadium and I will be there; the MLB postseason is about to take me wide and far for the best job a guy could have; and I will be training all the way whether it's along Lake Michigan or an LA or FLA beach because the NYC Marathon is coming up fast on November 2. I am feeling powerful and great, my boys are doing unbelievable things that make me proud of them every day, I still sneak an occasional pizza or beer that make me wish I had a nutrition coach, I have been dating someone amazing, I have more friends than I ever remember having in my lifetime, there are bestselling book possibilities afloat, and I am appreciating every moment of this lifetime because it's my only one. That guy in the pictures here has had his successes and his failures, and what I see when I look at the one crossing the finish line at the Queens Half is someone who is happy and determined and knows what he wants.
You're making it look too easy, Mark! Way to go! Keep on running strong.
