Hanging at the San Juan Marriott with the Joggler

In my line of work you get to meet some amazing people with different skills. This trip to San Juan I got to meet and hang with a Guinness Record holder, Michal "The Joggler" Kapral. Michal holds the record for running the fastest marathon while juggling three objects, time 2:50:12. He was just one of our little group that also ran the world's Best 10k yesterday. The only thing I shared with the runners was getting back to the San Juan Marriott's super comfy beds. Congrats Team Marriott for pounding the pavement and to Kara Rosner and Julian Cable-Treadwell and Ness Marie Tollinche for setting a hospitality record.

Sammy Kitwara, Not the Only Winner in 10K, San Juan

With my prensa or press pass blowing in the wind, Sammy Kitwara blew across the finish line at the Best 10k in the World. Lithe and limber he lead the pack past the line and in a record time. While I admire his endeavor I saw a lot of people with heart collapse in pain, all for the chance to run in the Best 10k in the World. While I was poised above the thousands that beat the pavement clicking photo after photo, everyday people were pushing their limits. My heart goes out to all that beat the pavement. Still Sammy Kitwara did the deed, a winner!
