About Marcus

I'm a has-been runner that's going through a rebirth of sorts. After having slowly given up the athletic endeavors of my youth over the past 10 years, I am now (slowly) beginning to rediscover the events that brought me so much joy while in my 20's and 30's.

Running has always been one of my favorite sports, but I am getting back into triathlons as well. The next big event I'm training for is the Napa Valley Marathon on March 1, 2009, and will run a few half marathons as part of my training before that.

I volunteer at a number of local races, and recommend that all my friends volunteer at a race before they ever complain to a race director about something bad at a race.

 

My favorite race is the Dallas White Rock Marathon! My assignment is to greet runners at the finish line and then help pick up trash after the race!

Pat:

Stop by the Dallas White Rock Marathon booth and say Hi. I'll let you know if I need a break (I'm going to be drinking a lot of water in preparation for the race, so I may need to go to the bathroom!)

Thanks -  Marcus
