Click to enlarge photo!I'm so proud of my boy! The whole time I've known him, his dream has been to finish a single marathon. Then, from out of the blue at age 35, he runs 3 marathons in 8 months! Crazy! First, he ran the Frankfurt, then the Bad Durkheim (a little German town along the wine road in Germany), and now the Luxembourg marathon. He's obsessed! It's really uplifting to see all of the people in their 60's whizzing by all of the younger folks...wow...that's going to be Phil one day! And I get to come along and hang out in wonderful cities and cheer him on without even breaking a sweat. Well, I window-shopped at some exquisite Luxembourgian (my own word, I think) clothing boutiques during the run and ate some fabulous pastries (but nobody was exactly cheering me on or anything). I'm pretty much just along for the ride. Each marathon is so different and so invigorating; the thumping music, the camaraderie, the street performers, the raucous parties after...it's wonderful.

I'm impressed to say the least. I can't imagine running a marathon, let alone more than one. What an achievement! Great job Phil, seriously that is awesome!
