4:18.42 The significane? Not a bible verse. On Saturday, the girl and I completed the marathon in four hours, eighteen minutes and forty-two seconds and crossed the "Finish Line" together placing 462 and 463, respectively.

Tonight, Sunday night, I'm still elated not only for the finish time but moreso that my mother and father cheered us on throughout the course. I'm especially thankful for my mom overcoming the difficulty to transport my father in his wheel chair and getting him near the finish line in order to see his son cross and hear his name announced and pronounced correctly on the p.a. system -- it's a difficult Italian name.

Tomorrow, I'll expound upon the experience, the girl, two hours sleep, my bloody shirt, flowers and post marathon pain and days in bed with the girl. But for tonight, I'm satisfied knowing that I had the best week-end in my life and wish Monday morning away.

Yesterday - Tomorrow
