Mid April Results | Wilmington Crew

Boston Marathon: Boston brought similar conditions to the warm conditions of 2012. Even though it wasn’t nearly that hot, it was dry and the sun was beating down on the runners along with a nice head wind. That made for some tough conditions for our athletes Monday.

Phillip Davis and Erin Hogston had the 2 best races. Phillip PRed and Erin came off a 2:57 marathon 4 weeks ago at Quintiles, still pulled off a 3:10 and was top 200 women in the race! Team sponsor Michelle Fogle from Fleet Feet sports also had a PR peformance of 3:15. Great job to you 3 for such great efforts on a tough day.

Congrats to Coach Tom and Tay Filer for getting to the line after dehydration and a high heart rate. Sometimes you have to have a tough race in order to grow through experiences.
Great finishes by Doug Wheeler, Jeff Roseborough, Cameron Simmons, Ryan Hilton, Brittany Perkins, Taryn Worst, Angie Sekely, Shelley Malloy, Becky Filer a first time marathon finisher running for Dana Farber and Joanne Harcke

Congrats to the entire Wilmington squad for their qualifications at Boston. Several runners from our area got together and took a great picture on Sunday morning.

We loved Becky Filer’s Post about her race experience.  This was a snippet of what she said about Without Limits:

To Tom Clifford – I apologize. I will not be starting a company called With Limits. You were right and I was wrong. (And thats a big deal. Ask Tay. I’m never wrong.) I AM Without Limits. I was sure that didn’t apply to me. I thought it was just for “those” people. The people who like to run. Who are “good” at running. Who’ve been running forever. Who run fast. Who LIKE running. I was wrong. Everyone and Anyone can be Without Limits. It’s a matter of believing in yourself and doing the work to get where you want go. It’s a mindset. Its about taking risks and not making excuses. Its about confidence. It’s about baby steps. Its about failing and then trying again. And again. And again. Its about good days and bad days. And it’s not easy! If I can do this, anyone can do it. Thank you for believing in me. I have repeated – Trust The Training – over and over and over again. And thank you for checking on me.
To Sami – You helped me get ready. I could not have done this without your guidance and preparation. You knew the course and you knew what I needed to do to be prepared. You made me strong. And you had confidence in me from the beginning. You called me out for being self-deprecating and for comparing myself to other runners. Thank you. I needed all of that. Everyone, call Sami. She’s a rockstar coach.
