FootNotes is a little sparse this month. We think everyone was too busy training for the marathon to get engaged or married. Hmmm.
and Advice from Papa Bear remains topical with advice on — guess what? —
the marathon and recovering from same.

Lastly, Brian Mayor, Club Treasurer, takes his turn as the voice of the
executive board. And he's not talking about the club treasury (yes, we're
comfortably solvent) but the ______(you fill in the blank). And even your's truly, The Editor, has managed to get a marathon angle
into his contribution.

With the publication of this issue,
Fall is here at last (temperaturs were in the 30s this morning) and the foliage in Central Park is magnificent. And Fall means it's marathon
time. Most of the articles in this issue are oriented around that race and I hope everyone enjoyed running it, volunteering, or
just plain watching it.

The Marathon Pasta dinner at Sambuca's had a lot of good food and high excitement,
as well as some serious inspiration as Matt Long told his story to the group. After the meal, I talked to a number of the Flyers who were
there. Their hopes and expectations for the marathon follow in this report.

Yes, it was a long day out on the marathon course, but then came the celebration. The best
comment I heard was from a Flyer who had just set a PR, "I spent a lot more time at The Parlour last night than on the course!" — and he wasn't complaining!

Scott Cohen's final segment on "The Making of a Trathlete", ironically, has very real
relevance to the goal of completing a successful marathon (for which each of us must define "success"). So if your marathon didn't turn out the
way you had hoped it would, this article may give you some ideas for next time.
