Our own master shoe resoler is also a master runner: James competed in the NYC marathon on November 7th and came in the 106th male out of a field of 45,000 competitors, and was the 36th US finisher. His time of 2:39 was not a PR, but pretty impressive after taking a red eye, then sleeping on the couch the night before, getting up at 4 east coast time, taking a 5:30 ferry to Staten Island and waiting for the 9:40 start. Huge crowds turned out to watch and cheer- certainly a life highlight and an inspiring race for James.
