No I'm not? Should I be?:-)

Corey, how is your training for your first marathon coming up? are your running Suntrust National Marathon this Saturday DC?

Hey Corey, we met today at the 2009 RRCA 10M Challenge. Congrats for finishing strong!

Hi Corey, so far I think my training has been well. It will be great just to finish when I race my first marathon in two more weeks. Not going to go to fast in the begining. I Just want a good pace so I can have some eneregy at the last few miles. I hope everything is good with you.

Hi Corey, thank you for being a friend. I run my first marathon in a few weeks. I think that is great you are training for your first marathon to! Stay warm.

Your profile reads a little like mine. I wonder if we ever raced each other back in the late 70's/early 80's. Best of luck with the marathon!
