Memorial Day Weekend News and Notes
Shirley Platt of Orlando, Florida finished her "21 Run Salute" on Sunday, May 29th at the Bayshore Marathon in Traverse City, Michigan with a time of 3:45:28. She finished 7th in her 40-44 age group. But most impressive is that she posted a Boston Marathon qualifying time in 12 of the 21 marathons she did between September 12, 2004 and May 28, 2005.
Congratulations to Bob Witkop of Wheatfield, NY for finishing his first half marathon during the Nissan Buffalo Half Marathon on Sunday, May 29th. Bob, who worked with me on a project last summer in Kankakee, Illinois and took over for me when I left IMA Consulting, Inc. two months ago, covered the 13.1 miles in 2:31:13.
HARRA Board Member Audrey Christiansen of Sugarland, TX ran the Nissan Buffalo Marathon in 3:51:18 and was the fastest of four (4) Texas finishers. Nina Jannetti of Sugarland was not too far behind in 3:55:21.
Ann Leoni, who has run more Run The Woodlands 5K's than anybody else in its 130-race history, was the 3rd female masters finisher on Memorial Day at the Lakeshore Marathon in Chicago! She covered the course in 4:06:10, a pace of 9:04/mile. It was Ann's fourth and fastest marathon of 2005. She ran the hp Houston Marathon in 4:16:16. Her other two marathon finishes this year have been the Texas Marathon and the Seabrook Lucky Trail Marathon.
Gary Van Kuiken of The Woodlands completed states #17 and #18 in his quest to run a marathon in all 50 states this past weekend when he finished the Mad City Marathon in Madison, Wisconsin in 3:57:07 and then a day later, the Lakeshore Marathon in Chicago in 4:24:23.
Humble's Steve Boone, founder of the 50 States Marathon Club, ran both as well. Steve, 56, completed the Mad City Marathon in 4:36:11 and the Lakeshore Marathon in 5:13:10. His wife, Paula, 38, finished in 5:55:21. Steve will run his 300th career marathon next January at the Houston Marathon.
The Woodlands' Lou Wilson, 69, ran his 11th marathon of the season (and 9th of 2005) by finishing the Lakeshore Marathon in 5:59:06. [Both Van Kuiken and Wilson ran the Run The Woodlands 5K #130 two days earlier to celebrate Don Drewniak's participation.]
San Antonio's Laurence Macon pulled a different marathon double last weekend by running Buffalo in 5:06:10 and the driving to Chicago to run Lakeshore in 5:55:24.
