On Nov. 5, 50,000 people will arise at the crack of dawn and saunter down to a chilly Staten Island starting line, where they’ll take off on the 26.2 mile run of a lifetime. These athletes are some of the fastest in the world, who have trained for months to build up the endurance to handle the race.
Each year, a number of military veterans throw their hats in the ring as well. And this year, there are three in particular that have inspiring stories outside the marathon.

I'am with you David. In H.S I ran 100 miles a week. In the Marines I ran 100 miles a month. Now that I'am retired, can't run any distance but run on the treadmill and ride stationary bike 4 days a week. Get some.But just not as fast. LOL.....
