Well this is a great day for all of those that trained, entered and finished the 2008 NY Marathon on Sunday November 2nd.  Some will be shelving another finishers T and some who entered have just finished their 1st Marathon – and in both cases – is an outstanding mental & physical accomplishment. I recall as an endurance athlete the feeling that comes over you when you finish your 1st. Those whom remember their 1st likely have had a similar experience and could give you every detail. Go ahead and give your experience whether is your 1st or 25th Event with a comment below. You may inspire others to go for it as well…

Today Meseret Kotu & Sergey Kaledin – whom are 2 members of the Foot Solutions Team, had great events as well… Congratulations to both for their efforts and Sergey’s Masters Win!!!

All coaches and athletes know we are always looking for the edge. In my days of Triathlons and Biathlons there were weekends that I called secret racing. I will share that at another time…

A few of Sergey’s Secrets to his win.

* Biomechanical Advantage – Custom Orthotic
* Training & Recovery Shoes – Chung Shi
* Nordic Poles – Balance Walking
