NY Times Article Follow-up

For those of you who read the article in the NY Times regarding the toll marathon training exacts on relationships (spouse, co-worker, children, etc.) You read about Jon Cohen training to qualify for Boston. He needed to best 3:20:59 in order to pack his bags for Boston and subject his spouse to another five months of training. Jon purchased a $900 muscle stimulator to improve recovery and an indoor jogging machine. He cross trained with a bike and logged up to 80 miles per week. Sadly, Jon finished 3:28:46, well behind his needed qualifying time. I know he's probably feeling a little disheartened today, but I'm sure he'll be scouring the Internet in no time at all in search of the fastest course in the US. Hey Jon, it's time to tell your wife how beautiful Sacramento is in early December. ;-) Get back on that horse baby!!!
