JeanFred: How was the Paris Marathon?

[JimHow]

Are you on to Boston in 2020?

[Nicklasss]

Yes he'll be in Boston, mid April 2020. That let's you about a year to be in shape for Boston's big run Jim.

Well, I’m not J-F, but I couldn’t wait to find out so I asked him right after the event.

Not only did he finish the freakin’ thing, he did it in a blazing 3:16:30! And his wife wasn’t far behind at 4:04.

If you have ever struggled to run a marathon or half marathon, you know how awesome that is.

Not only is he gifted, he is extremely dedicated and determined, training in sub zero weather in the dark.

Effectively. He deserves a Barolo as reward! .

Nic

[JimHow]

Wow!
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Jean-Fred!
Nicola, let's hang out in Boston next April, drink some Bordeaux and watch the Marathon!

[Nicklasss]

Seems like a good plan Jim. Depending when will be the dates of the 2 BWE conventions.

At the same time, I want to lower the number of time I'm in the same time/place as you, as it gets me into trouble. .

I’ve done a few, 3:16 is flying.

Props to him. And to his wife. That’s more my pace. I’d be washing JF’s dishes.

[JeanFred]

[JimHow]

Tremendous!
Man, I must be getting old, these pictures and stories of BWEers out there get me choked up.

[DavidG]

Congratulations to both of you!
A terrific accomplishment, and in such a wonderful setting.

[jal]

You cook like a Master Chef and you run marathons in just over 3 hours? Very impressive! Congratulations, what an amazing performance for you two.

Well done JF. I'm in Japan with a friend who ran the Boston, Chicago,Toronto and Paris marathons. He killed his feet with fallen arches and I'm sure he tore his peroneus brevis tendons to collapse his mid foot that happens often with runners unfortunately but is trying to keep pass with us averaging 25km a day walking the streets of Japan.

[Jay Winton]

Well, I can leap tall buildings in a single bound. Seriously, impressive achievement by Jean Fred and the Madam.
