John Sheakoski's Story
It was only last Fall when I was hobbling around on crutches after having a torn meniscus repaired in my right knee. In fact, I registered for Boston not even knowing if I would be ready or even capable of running 26.2 miles. After a longer than expected recovery, I was finally able to hit the road to start my marathon training and now feel I am ready to tackle my 7th marathon (3rd Boston).
This certainly will not be my speediest marathon, but it is more about the personal challenge and companionship of fellow local runners that makes the event fun. (believe it or not, it can be a fun run)
As I run my first marathon at the age of 50, please consider helping the CVIM charity I am running to support. I will run several hundred miles in training before this April 16th race and ask that you consider contributing...all contributions of any size will help this worthwhile organization.
