Jim's marathon

Jim flew down to Myrtle Beach to run the marathon there to try and increase his chances of making the Boston Marathon (he qualified in October by running the Marine Corps Marathon in DC but qualification doesn't guarantee entry and they only take the fastest runners if the number of people who registers exceeds the race capacity).  He finished in a 3:02:13!  That is almost 8 minutes faster than his qualification time and should nearly guarantee his chance to get accepted into the race.  He started the race at 630am, finished at 932am, and was showered and at the gate by 1045am for a flight to Florida to meet Colleen and Avery!
