That was a great report; it took me over 3hours to read it, seriously Perry that was a fantastic account of your run, thanks for sharing it with us. I am planning on taking part in the 2010 Virgin London Marathon, (as a marathon virgin), this will be me first and at the age of 50, it will be one of many. The full details of this can be found on my website. Your report has really given me something to think about, I love your opening account in part two, it's so easy to just stop when it hurts, this was a brilliant, I thought I was running it with you, great writing style, keep up the good work, and I hope to meet you in a race one day soon. Best Regards Mark FAST@50 WOW!! That was a great report; it took me over 3hours to read it, seriously Perry that was a fantastic account of your run, thanks for sharing it with us.

You just made joggling more difficult! [sarcastic grin] So if I fumble (catch two balls in one hand and rethrow it, missing a step on two), I have to stop and return to fumble point. I'm too slow and dropping too much anyway to compete at any level. I saw somewhere you have to throw a ball with each step. Wouldn't that make only tricks like outside cascade, mill's mess, over the top and tennis ok, but not tricks like a high throw or 531? Thanks for a great blog. It keeps me motivated, and make me feel less stupid having this silly hobby. Thanks a lot perry. You just made joggling more difficult! [sarcastic grin]

As far as fumbling the balls but not dropping, as long as you keep the joggling pattern going without catching 2 balls in one hand, it is OK to continue.

Did you do the entire marathon without taking any water or food? Also general joggling question: If you fumble the balls without dropping, should one stop and go back, or is it OK to continue? Perry, did I get this right?

I forget how impressive a sub-4 hour marathon is to most people because I get all obsessed with doing a 3:15 to qualify for Boston. I bet the guys running 3:00 marathons wish they could do 2:40s. I wonder if people ever get satisfied. Races are funny like that you know.

Congrats on the no drops... I'm still trying to get my thoughts wrapped around a sub-4. To do it 3:35 and change, while joggling, is just incredible!! Totally awesome race!
