Meet the team

I am most certainly not taking on this endeavor on my own. In fact, I've got a really great team I'll be training with. I've been running with Roger and Stephanie on and off for the past two years.

Roger and I were law school classmates and started running together while studying for the bar. After bumping into each other on numerous early morning runs, we decided to bring Stephanie into our group. Once the bar exam came and went, we took a bit of a hiatus as we all scattered to different parts of Boston. This past winter we started running together again and have done two half marathons together.

While we're all training for marathons, we all plan on running different races. Roger will be running the New York City Marathon on Nov. 7th, Stephanie will be running the Marine Corps marathon on October 31 and I will be doing the Cape Cod Marathon on October 31.

I think it's high time that we meet them.



Roger is the most experienced runner of the group, with three marathons already under his belt. He enjoys cooking food so hot it burns the nostrils, long walks on the beach, candle-lit dinners and moonlit strolls.



Stephanie will be running her first solo marathon but has completed some marathon relays and a number of half marathons and just finished her first triathlon. When she's not logging crazy hours at her firm, she enjoys sculpting bonsai trees, origami and reading about the newest developments in insurance defense.



While not running with me per se, my biggest support will be coming from my wife, Meghan. She'll be putting up with me disappearing for hours at a time on the weekend and listening to me complain about a voluntary choice I have made to put myself through hell. And she'll do it all with a smile.



Lastly, there is my most faithful running companion, Levee. She'll be logging a lot of miles with me over the next few months, and by logging miles I mean dragging my ass behind her for 3-4 miles at a time.
