Hi everybody
I hope everyone is doing alright. Been a while since I posted here, guess I am due to write to you all. I will try to make it brief and short.
I have been busy with my running this year, especially since I hired a professional runner/coach. By the end of this year, I should have over 3,000 miles total. I have ran 6 marathons this year, all finishing in the top 5 or better, and 3 of them are wins. I am doing my 50 marathons in 50 states; so far I have 5 down: Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Hawaii, and Wisconsin. I will be running Boston this upcoming April, so Massachusetts will be crossed off soon. My name has appeared on Marathonguide.com so that's a highlight there.
Another turning point for me happened this past June, which I came out of the closet. Luckily I had a lot of support from many of my friends and coworkers, but some didn't like it, mainly my family. It did hit a rough patch for them, but things are getting better and we still talk; just taking one day at a time.
Joe hope you are doing well to. Michelle, Al, Tracie, Pip, Wooleyman, Skippy-Poo, Peace Lily, and everyone. I hope you all are well.
Sending my prayers and love to the victims of Hurricane Sandy, and for Tracie, prayers go out to you and the family.
Talk with you all later.
Grant
