What To Do After Your Marathon. . .
Sam Robson ran the London marathon as his first marathon. So naturally he ran the 99 miles back to his home in central England. Robson has epilepsy and did his run as a fund-raiser to fight the disease.

A Sweet Ride For A Great Cause - Part 2
Congratulations to Randy Latza for winning the sweet ride at the HCM Foundation raffle on Saturday.
Remembering Grete Waitz
Here's a wonderful article about the late Grete Waitz, one of the greatest marathoners on any generation, and her ties to the NY Marathon. We both ran our first NY Marathon in 1978, Grete finishing about 80 minutes sooner than I did. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/24/sports/24waitz.html?src=recg
Two Big Runs
It's a prime weekend coming up with the LV Half and Broad Street. It would be a great help if you could let me know which you are running so I don't miss your results. It's easy to miss someone while spinning through 20K+ results.
Broad Street Benefit
From Carl Ewald, one of the organizers of the ODDyssey Half Marathon: "I have some exciting news, Triumph Brewery is now the official Beer Sponsor of the ODDyssey and they are putting together a great package for the runners. As you may know, in 2007, researchers at Granada University in Spain, headed by medical professor Manuel Garzon, found that the sugars, salts, and bubbles in beer cause a pint of beer post-workout to be better at rehydrating the human body than water. So, we are partnering with Triumph to develop the first ever official post race beer. So, because of our great devotion to science and health, we decided to create this great beer to celebrate with. Obviously the point is that every runner over the age of 21 can receive a free beer at the end of the ODDyssey Half Marathon to toast their triumph!
But, we are also having a big party to release the beer right after the Broad Street Run. So, I wanted to invite you and your runners to the official release party for the ODDyssey Half Marathon Recovery Ale. The party is on May 1, 2011 from 11:30-4:00 at Triumph in Old City. 117 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19107. Hey, where else can you drink to your health all in the name of science? Any runners who RSVP for the party through the Facebook page will be eligible for one free beer on May 1 after Broad Street as well. Feel free to invite anyone to come. http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=202625846437314
