Landrunners Group Marathon Training
 Sponsored by The Runner

Congratulations OKC Memorial Marathon Runners,

Can you believe we had such great weather for the marathon? It was in the 40s and the wind was out of the North.  The wind really helped to push everyone back to the finish line.

We thank The Runner - for providing the water stops - and Dr. Tom Coniglione - for your advice and assistance to those of us with aches and pains. Also, a big Thank You to those who brought snacks over the past 16 weeks.

Thank you to Katie and Shawn for organizing the Friday night pasta dinner at Nancy's Lighthouse. The buffet was great... If you missed it, you also missed Katie and Shawn's singing.

We took many pictures on the training runs, at the dinner and at the finish line.  They are posted on the OKC Running Club web site.

Again, congratulations and remember as the Rectors say, "Every day is a holiday if you are a runner."

Bill Snipes
