Leslie Breen Completes First Marathon

FitLife client and current member of the University of Virginia Crew Team, Leslie Breen entered and finished the New York City Marathon on November 5th. Leslie had been training since the early summer to complete the grueling 26.2 mile run, an accomplishment many people in life dream of. "The marathon was awesome" said Leslie; she finished in 4 hrs, 32 min, 40 sec...Only 40 sec off her projected time. Excellent for her first marathon. That put her in the top 20% of people in her age category, top 1/3rd of all women, and top half overall. Congratulations, who knows what is next . . . possibly an IRONMAN???


Stanton & McCloskey Run In Greyhound 5K

One has never run in a 5K and the other hasn't in 15 years.

Jim Stanton has not competed in a running race for 15 years and his first time back he came in 4th place in his age group missing the podium by only 13 seconds. Both guys did a great job and look forward to their next challenge of the Northampton 5K in spring 2006.
