Well, despite my very limited training due to an injury a few months ago, I was able to complete the North Country Trail Marathon yesterday. It went better than I thought, I was afraid I would wilt somewhere around mile 20, but was able to keep up a slow pace with running on the flat portions and walking the hills. The race was delayed about 90 minutes due to lightning, and then around mile 16 it started to rain HARD for about 30 minutes. But the storms held off after that until after I was done. Was able to collect one big ass medal for finishing.
Mopped Up Thorp 
After hearing Marty Moon tell of Steve Luhm’s efforts at the North Country Trail Marathon, Milford AD Gil Thorp announced that Luhm would be Milford’s cross country coach.
“As AD, I am happy to name Steve as our cross country coach,” Thorp said. “I was surprised to find out we have had a cross country team for 45 years. It’s about time they had a coach.”

OOH and I can see the plot! A Kenyan transfer student is pressured to run but all he wants to do is play in the marching band. Steve & Gil work out the situation to no one’s satisfaction.
