I asked him once what it felt like to run a whole marathon at a pace most of us run intervals at and he said that it felt great, but he didn't remember much.

phil and i had a conversation about this recently (measured in decades). it's true. i remember 'being' in specific races but not much about them. although, the one we ran in east peoria last fall pat was really, really, fun. i remember a few specific moments of the run, but more specifically just remember walking away from it feeling great.

He's having some trouble posting on the forum. Justin Young (graduated from Richwoods) ran a 2.13 at a marathon in Europe within the past two years. Anyone faster than that?!!

It's needs some updating but its close. Eric should lead the masters catagory(atleast for a few more years).lol. Also no chance kelch 2:34:15 either.

The list includes anyone who paid ivs membership dues not whose from or who actually lived in peoria area. A great example of that is Phil coppess never raised or lived in peoria but payed ivs dues so a gray area if he should count. The best marathoner is Justin young that's a true peorian or ex peorian. Then Tim donovan out of spalding high school. But w young guys like Trent hoerr, Sean houseworth, nick Holmes, and dustin emerick will surely be very high on the list soon enough!

Well Pat when you get 20 + years distanced from something like that, it can be tough to remember some of the details. Grin

You know what's scary about that? In that race, Greg's "A" game mind you, he placed 13th overall. That must have been one hell of a race! Winnnig time was a 2:12 I believe. Pat's 2:47 this year placed him 13th. Those guys that day were just on a whole different planet. Shocked

5:24 pace! Put down the crack pipe!
