I can't review the event as I've never run it.  I've hear nothing but good things in the past.

That being said, I really haven't done much in the way of running due to a to a back injury I received during my military career.  Prior to that injury, I was training for my first marathon and was comfortable with running half-marathons.  I have done some running off an on, but haven't motivitated myself to serious training.

This seems to me to be a great way to support Father Joe and his efforts to help those less fortunate than myself and to start over and finish my goal of someday running a marathon. 

If training goes well, my first marathon will be the San Diego Rock-N-Roll Marathon on June 6, 2010.....just 3 weeks after my 50th B-day!  Wish me luck.
