Paul Lenz – Sunday was a great day to run a marathon.  38 degree temp at start with fireworks synced to ACDC “Thunderstruck” as the gun went off w/18,000 runners.  Nice fog about the city through 10 miles lifted to clear blue skies and perfect temp of 55-60 degrees. Great crowd support and ample fluids over entire run. At miles 17-18, running through the “Horseshoe” on OSU campus was a nice lift new this year.  At mile 20, the race really got rolling as the last 10K was mostly downhill.  I ended up finishing with a PR of 3:13:17.  If you are looking for an October marathon, keep this one in mind.
