The 2011 SAMI Tour is now complete.
I ran the Marine Corps. marathon on behalf of SAMI with a finishing time of 4:11:56. Although not a personal record, I was very pleased with the way I managed the race and had plenty of energy to cross the finish line.
The race was well run and the weather held out for us; given the day before we had snow showers. The fan fare was spectacular and the race medal is one that I will treasure.
This year was extra special. We not only raised $560 that will go directly toward music scholarships for youth in Tippecanoe county but was also surprised by my family who came to support me during the race. It was certainly a memorable and extra special event in 2011.
Thank you again to all of our SAMIs Groupies and to my wonderfully supportive family. I can't wait to see what 2012 has in store.
