The first mile of the Boston Marathon in Hopkinton, MA marked our first mile of The SmoothToe New England Marathon...One Mile At A Time." As many of you know, the first mile of the Boston Marathon goes down, up ,down, up, down  without any flat terrain. I ran a 4:43 for the mile. The President, Charlie Olbrias, and the Vice-President, Kyle Dunnack, of The Last Mile Racing Company were on hand celebrating the initial mile. The Last Mile Racing Company is the official timing company of our event, please visit their website at www.thelastmileracing.com to learn more about them.

Here is a photo just before the race of Charlie, me and Kyle in front of the statue of George V. Brown who was the official starter of the Boston Marathon for many years.



It is indeed a pleasure to work with such a professional team for this extensive undertaking. I feel I am in great hands with a company that can cover all the areas that are needed. The Last Mile Racing Company makes certain that the course is wheeled and measured accurately with 1/4 mile markers, that the race is timed precisely, and that I am safe from traffic. Thanks to the Last Mile Racing Company, The SmoothToe New England Marathon will be professionally timed at every stop.

Check out this short video with an interview with Charlie and Kyle and one of the products that I use to prepare, race, and recover in everyday:



We travel to Willimantic, CT for Race #2 The Boom Box Mile on July 4th. I ran it last year as part of my 20/20/20<5@45 event and ran a 4:53. I hope to break 4:50 if I can charge the hill in the third quarter...
