Yesterday, before I helped man the Marathon Maniacs table at the expo, I picked up my bib for the marathon on Sunday. Emblazoned above my race number (1446) was "Semper Fidelis Challenge." What the heck is that? A short time later, I looked it up online and (re-)discovered that this is a defined challenge for anyone who runs the Historic Half (or Devil Dog Double) plus the Marine Corps Marathon in one year. Given that the Historic Half was in May, it's not really much of a challenge, IMO. Nonetheless, I will still get an extra medal for it after crossing the finish line on Sunday. Huzzah! What a pleasant "surprise" to have uncovered.
