Jim with Whitney Stefko.

Bright-eyed and ready

to conquer at 5:30 a.m.

Los Angeles Marathon

March 2, 2003

The starting line

Mile 8.  They're looking good!

Mile 15.  We slather Jim with Bengay. 

He's hanging in there though. 

Mile 18.  Whitney still has some pep. 

Jim has slowed to a crawl.  We pump Advil into him.  He asks for a gun instead. 

Mile 26. They made it! 

Whitney booked the last mile to finish in 5:56.  Jim wobbled from mile 20 to finish in 6:15.

The proud Marathon Man with Hamlet.  It was a painful feat, but well worth it. Jim raised $2,300 for Blind Youth Olympics.
