This one is a marathon. It's going to go for a long time,

Number one is a tough position to be in. It's tough for coaches to remember, but this is a marathon, not a sprint. When you're competitive ... it's not an easy way to look at things.

There is a whole new breed of marathoner who wouldn't even have considered running something like a marathon. In the past, people ran if they were exercise junkies. The marathon held the ultimate challenge for them.

In light of my upcoming marathon I feel I need more time to recover and prepare without further interruption for my primary event.

It just happens that this national event is happening at the same time as the marathon. Its really exciting the way God has his hand in this.

These people, they've been around there since Saturday, around the clock, ... We're going to look at a second wave (of personnel).
