Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
And here are those results!
Almost the top 1/3rd of my age group, top 1/10th overall, and a sub 9’ mile for the whole time? Sheesh…
Running through the St. Jude campus was the highlight of my marathon, and possibly of my whole running career. (Career? Sure why not). Wearing the St. Jude hero shirt you get a ton of attention, but it’s amazing for this one moment to feel that incredible bond with such a huge group of folks who are affected by St. Jude. Thanks to Anna for sacrificing some amazing high fives to grab this video.

Operation: Suck it Trebek
I ran the first 4 marathons of my life between May and October of this year. The first two in May were just to finish. The third in October was to see how I was doing. The fourth two weeks after that was just to enjoy the scenery.
But I’ve still never set a goal time to aspire.
I was running my last 20-miler today — my last long run before the St. Jude Marathon in 2 weeks. And looking at my time I was shocked. At the pace I was going I wouldn’t hit a sub 4 hour marathon.
More importantly I wouldn’t even come close to comedian Will Ferrell’s famous 2003 Boston Marathon time of 3:56:12.
I need to break a 4 hour marathon. I need to beat Will Ferrell.
I’m not setting this sub-Will Ferrell goal for any particular fundraising gimmick, but my team is still accepting donations for the next 2 weeks if you still want to support. And as always, THANKS TO ALL OF you who are supporting St. Jude.
Suck it Trebek.
Wipe that smile off your face.
Because I don’t reblog quite enough…
Anthony Griffith recalls his struggle as a father of a child with cancer even as he struggled to make a name for himself as an entertainer.
This is exactly why St. Jude exists.
Thank you all so much for helping me reach my fundraising goal.
If you’d still like to contribute you can do so here.
- 4 Chipotle burritos in 25 minutes.
- 4400 calories.

And now the next challenge. I’m participating in my own version of Movember - the epic mustache growing challenge for the month of November.
If 50 donations of ANY amount — $1, $5, $10, ANYTHING — come in between today and Halloween, not only will an anonymous donor contribute an extra $200, I will participate in “Movember,” the epic mustache growing challenge for November.
