First Half Marathon

Success! I am just getting back from the Virginia Beach Half Marathon (13.1) miles. The crowd of 17,000 participants was a great site on a beautiful day. I completed the distance is my personal best time of 2 hours 22 minutes and 55 seconds -- just under 11 minute miles. This race helped me grow in my convinction that I can complete the Philadelphia Marathon in under 5 hours. I know the race and my business are related. My last newsletter told me that I am helping to grow an online community but I still have work to do. In the next 2 months, do I have what it takes to inspire Philadelphia to work together and change the social ills plaguing our community? By completing the half marathon in my personal best - I can answer that question with a resounding YES!!!
