I ran the Hartford Marathon with Dave Edwards, who I coached when I worked for Team for Kids.
Kent Bradley, Mark's brother-in-law(married to Mark's youngest sister, Mary), also ran this marathon, but we didn't run together. Kent ran this Marathon in an attempt to qualify for The Boston Marathon. In order to accomplish his goal, he needed to run really fast— faster than I wanted to run for this race.
Kent needed to finish this marathon with a time at or under 3:30:00 to qualify for the Boston Marathon. He did it, with a finishing time of 3:29:59!
