To infinity and beyond?

Lame news up front - no DFMC for me in 2011. I've been injured too often in the back half of 2010, I need to spend the winter in the pool, rebuilding myself from the ground up. I may volunteer on the big day, though.

I am, however, hoping to add another big race to my resume in 2011. Inspired by the brilliant performances in yesterday's NYC Marathon, I'm going to throw my name into the lottery for a spot in the 2011 five-borough affair. With a half marathon here in Salem at the end of September and a training period that I can spend almost entirely outdoors, I'm really excited at the prospect of putting a much more thorough marathon effort together than I managed over last winter.

One last note. DFMC raised $4,556,954.60 this year. $6,485 was my final tally. Congratulations and thank you to every single runner and donor. What we accomplished this year was simply phenomenal. Cheers!
