About a month ago, my crazy running friend Shawn got the crazy idea that we should put our names on the waiting list to run the Steamtown Marathon in Scranton, Pennsylvania. This is the same dude we watched participate in the Lake Placid Ironman this year – thus confirming his insanity.
Steamtown is known for being one of the fastest marathon courses in the country, which makes it a really popular race. Many people want to run this race to increase their chance at qualifying for the Boston Marathon – and I totally get that.
