Hi Bart,

I saw you this weekend at Big Sur after first having met you in Miami in January. I really enjoyed talking with you and the benefit of hearing your thoughts. Not only were you right about Big Sur being a great marathon, but your advice about running negative splits was spot on. I did the first half in just over 2:02 and sped up the second half. I finished at 3:58. Considering that I did Miami in 4:15 and that this was just my second marathon, I am really happy with my time. Thanks. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Marc
