Crazy Runners!

We have amongst our group a couple of runners who some may call determined, strong, or just plain nuts. One is Kevin O'Neill who this coming weekend will do back to back marathons. On Saturday Kevin will run the Hartford Marathon followed by the Atlantic City Marathon on Sunday. And if this doesn't sound crazy enough he will also do the Detroit Marathon on the following Sunday. 3 marathons in 8 days.
She may not be doing 2 marathon's on one weekend, but just as crazy, or maybe more so, is Sylvie Phillips who after an intense summer of trail races, competed in the Horseshoe half marathon on September 23rd, followed by the Akron Marathon on the the 29th, this past sunday she completed the Chicago Marathon (despite having officials trying to pull her and others off the course - see below). Next Sunday she we'll be trying the Toronto Marathon, after that will be Niagara and Philly, and oh yes she will be doing the Goofy challenge in January. Hopefully our runners will stay healthy. Good luck.
