Alumni Sam Heisler Completes His 1st Marathon

| Alumni Sam Heisler takes his "Hero" pose following the race. |
This September Sam Heisler completed his first 26.2 miles of fun on the run, racing in the USO Air Force Marathon in beautiful Dayton, OH. Sam took the race on as a personal challenge of his own mental and physical toughness, and as a way to motivate himself to stay healthy and in better shape. Finishing n a time of just under 6 hours, Sam said, "it wasn't my goal time, but I was happy to finish my first race."
In the days following the race, as obvious soreness and fatigue set in, Heisler expressed a feeling of pride and respect for himself and his accomplishment and hope to run another next May or June. While training 4 days a week, and running as much as 20 miles at a time, was not ideal, he did credit the work ethic and drive learned from the Broad Run Wrestling program as a major motivating factor in accomplishing his goal.
Congratulations to our alumni brother and we look forward to seeing him out on the roads again soon!
