last sunday, matthew completed his FIFTH marathon. he ran the rock n' roll here in san diego. his goal was to finish in under 4 hours, and he did--3:52! his knee started bugging him about a week and a half before the race and he was a little nervous. his brace worked fabulously and his knee was A-OK the whole race!! (phew.) the spirit of the marathon is so inspiring! everyone pulling together...cheering for people and being proud of runners you don't even know. bands at every mile. thousands of spectators lining the course. good times! here are some photos from the event.

Way to go Matt! Your 5th marathon...very impressive! Although (Whit) I'm a bit confused. His goal was under 4 hours, he did it, but his time was 4:52? Hehehe--I know what you meant! :) Congrats Matt!
