Race Recap By George McFall:
I didn’t share it on social media or tell my friends. Sometimes we lose sight of why we do what we do. Is it for us or to satisfy others? I wanted to do this race for me. I ran the Glass City Marathon 3 weeks ago and was feeling really good so I wanted to go after that BQ again. And no matter what happened out there today, I would be OK with the outcome. And guess what, I am. I crossed the finish line in 3:45:12. Well off where I needed be. I’ll spare you the details. The Cleveland Marathon was my 1st marathon back in 2010 and today, when I crossed the finish line, it became my 24th overall marathon. I love the marathon distance. I keep coming back to it. There will be good days and bad days. It’s about showing up everyday, putting in the work and giving it everything you have on race day.
