Testimonials (page 2):
We love to run and we know that you do too! Here are more testimonials from local
runners. If you would like to add one, please email it to the Webmaster. BRA had 8
members qualify for the 2008 Boston Marathon, and 12 members qualify for both
2009 and 2010 Boston Marathons. BRA also has 4 certified run coaches, one
Olympic caliber swim coach, and a number of triathletes to learn from.
WOW!!! Elton, thank you very much. I guess I'm not dreaming after all...at least not anymore!!! It feels
simply amazing. All the hard work, the long miles, the sacrifice's made which definitely include the
efforts of my wife Nora and 5 beautiful children for without those I wouldn't have been able to make it to
the starting line!!! To finally reach this goal is an amazing, amazing feeling and a dream come true.
I've played it in my mind over and over because they say it's good to visualize success. Well, the real
life race and eventual finish was better than anything I dreamt up. I'm definitely on cloud 9 right now.
Tom, Elton, Steve, Kathy, Tanya, Jan, Dorcas...I promise to stop drooling over your Boston medals, hats
and jackets...well, at least by April 21st, 2008!!! LOL!!! :O))))))
That was by far the hardest personal accomplishment EVER!!! I couldn't have made it without the
efforts of everyone! From the training plan, to the weekly workouts, the advice, the wisdom and
knowledge, race strategy, Steve gutting it out through injury, to Elton getting me on pace, to the
supplements that I had no idea I needed, to Dorcas for driving us to Jacksonville (in RECORD TIME!!!
LOL!!!), to the crowd support (Tom, Veronica and Tanya thank you...you being there was HUGE for
me!!!), to Kathy picking me up at mile 24 (all I can say is that was HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE...I was
fading fast those last few miles and your efforts definitely picked me up and got me back on pace...not
sure I would have made it without that), to Big Daddy D and Caribbean Steve yelling to me, "you've got 2
minutes left...sprint for it now Matt!!!, to Tom screaming as I crossed the finish line, "YOU'RE GOING TO
BOSTON BAAAAAABY!!!" (definitely would have to say I won't soon forget those words!!!
The last 6-7 miles was all about how much and more importantly how long I could endure pain and
misery. I was in a gap running by myself for several miles and at that point of the race when fatigue
sets in and your mind begins to play tricks on you and all the what ifs begin to speak LOUD AND
CLEAR in your mind. It was the biggest gut check of my
life!!! I'm glad I didn't disappoint myself but more importantly I'm glad I didn't disappoint all those
supporting me.
But as the madness goes we arrived back at the hotel room just after the race, showered and rested
for a wee bit and while Big Daddy D and I were waiting on the others to arrive in the hotel lobby we were
actually on the Internet scoping out the next marathon! It's a crazy business but I love it!!!
Kathy and Jan great PRs and awesome job on taking home age group awards!!!
