The date for Jesse's Marathon is Saturday, September 18th. Time for start is 7:00AM. He will be running a 26.2 mile course through Ashland, down the tracks, around the Randolph Macon College Campus. He'll start from the corner of College Ave. and N. Railroad Ave. Depending on how parking looks that morning, my car, um, Support Vehicle, will be right in front of the little train station, across from Henry Clay Inn. There is a Randolph Macon parking lot right there.
Here's the map of the corner. I'll have course maps available the morning of the race.
We'll have a Party Zone and donuts and bagles and water. Ashland Coffee and Tea is right around the corner! Bring a folding chair. Jesse's course takes him by this corner a couple of times. I'll have course maps available, if you want to go cheer him at another point in the course.
T-shirts still available on Zazzle! Please come join us! Let me know if you have questions. Hope to see you there!

You know I'll be there in spirit, Laura. IRL, I'll be driving home from VT. :-)
I will be there in spirit! I'm going to run along with him for a couple of miles from here.
I will be sending huge buckets of support and love and light to Jesse and the whole family.
Thanks, guys! I'm hoping for nice weather -- the Saturday morning training run weather has been so beautiful. A rainy day wouldn't bother Jesse, but how could we walk to Ashland Coffee and Tea for coffee??
Laura, you're a running runner -- you people make me so envious! Thank you for sending support!
And Debra -- I hope the drive from Vermont is lovely. We went to Vermont a few years ago -- a very wet year -- and the trees looked too tired and soggy to turn color.
I think that this is such an incredible feat. I am truly amazed and inspired. Really.
Go, Jesse!
Hey Jodi -- I'm so disorganized and forgetful these days -- thank you for sending good running wishes! The marathon morning nears -- only 4 more days!
