Nick Williams finds that redemption lives close to home, in his second attempt this fall with a new personal best. Meanwhile Shinobu Kusakabe positioned herself excellently for a potential breakthrough, cruising through halfway in 1:37:04 and finishing 6th in her division. Well done to all!

I had a great time at Philly, celebrating its 20th race. Security was tightened at the start/finish but no confusion. Overall, very well managed race with extremely supportive volunteers and spectators.
I’ll certainly work for the breakthrough you spoke of! It may require more uphill workout and track workout…I’d welcome advice [for] next time.
Shinobu Kusakabe and Daisuke Ogata share a quiet moment waiting at the start of the 2013 Philadelphia Marathon
