Ryan Stokes

Ryan, Great result on the PF Chang's Marathon. I had to skip it because I caught a pretty bad cold a few days before. That was disappointing. I am going to take a shot at the Inaugural IMS Arizona Marathon on Feb. 15th. It's over on the west side of town. The finishing area is in the Westgate Sports Complex where the football stadium is. I have driven the course already. If I can just stay healthy, I think I will be okay. My left calf got kind of sore after my 16 mile run on Sunday. So I am just going to focus on the stationary bike this week and see what happens. I may even take my chances and just do bike workouts all the way up to race day to make sure the calf is 100%. When is the LA Marathon? Good luck preparing for that. One of my classmates from the Academy qualified for Boston last month at the Disney Marathon. He finished in 3:19. Pretty cool. Talk to you soon. Karl
