Family
My wonderful extremely supportive wife is Amy Anthony. Probably like other participant partners who are parents, Amy does a lot to make training possible. We have two boys, Jacob (4) and Benji (8).
Interesting Story
Probably somewhat uncommon but I've run my two best marathons at 39 and 43 years old years after I started trying to qualify for the Trials in my early 30s. I didn't think I'd be running my best in marathon as a masters runner.
