i just had to post a big congrats to my sands, ashanti branch, who completed the rock n roll marathon in san diego yesterday. a foot injury put him on the shelf the past few weeks, but when i spoke to him on friday, the plan was to walk the first half and run the second half. now i never made it to a full marathon and a knee injury hit me just before i ran my half marathon, so i know how frustrating it can be. this morning i looked up his results and it looks like he made it just past the 7hr soft cutoff, coming in at 7:02:19.
the best part is that he exceeded his goal of raising $3000 for the leukemia & lymphoma society. you can read all about why he ran this race and it’s not too late to donate. nice job, sands!
