It was literally 1 mile at a time and up to race day the furthest I went was 16 miles. Technique, focus, strategy and most importantly the desire to push through the pain... That's all it takes. Then you can cross it off the list! :) Patrick Dilanka –

That's a little crazy indeed. Biggest issue I have with running more than 5+ miles is that I lose it mentally -- Mental chatter dominates the movement of my muscles and I decide to take the easy road :) But 26.2 ? I will certainly give you a call when that day arrives. Good job though! Thanks for the inspiration :) Dilanka Congrats Patrick!

It's been brutal on the body and I'm overcoming some Achilles issues right now. A couple more weeks of hard running and off I go to rock the full 26.2. Getting after it! We will rally here soon on the pavement for sure... And now you’re breaking PR’s left and right! :)

Keep it up Patrick. I can still remember my first run after years of not running. It was January of 2009. I strapped on my heart rate monitor and headed off for three miles (which is normally easy for me in leaner times) and my hear rate went from 70bpm to 156bpm in one block! I was hurting the next day and I thought I would have a heart-attack! Luckily, I survived to do it a few days later. Good luck bro! Keep killin' it! Nice! Keep it up Patrick.
