This was the first email I opened this morning.

Congratulations.

The MCM Lottery has been conducted and you have reason to celebrate as one of the officially registered participants in the 40th Marine Corps Marathon to be held on Sunday, October 25, 2015 in Arlington, VA….

BOOM!!!

It looks like I will be running the Berlin Marathon on September 27th and the MCM on October 25th!  A marathon in the Capital of Germany and the next month a marathon in the Capital of the USA.

How’s that for total and complete awesomeness!?!
