I look forward to interviewing you on my podcast in the near future! Vince DiCroceWhen Lindsey Hein was interviewing me, she asked what my most memorable marathon was and I was not prepared for what happened.After thinking about it for a bit with so many memories over the years, it came to me that it was my 100th Marathon at The Colorado Marathon in Fort Collins, Colorado. As I crossed the finish line to the cheers of my running friends and spectators, Vince DiCroce was waiting for me. Vince was at the very end of his life, in the final stages of brain cancer that came back after several years in remission. Vince wanted to see me reach my goal of 100 Marathons. He passed away 3 weeks later.When I thought about it, this moment came immediately to my memory and I got choked up during as I was talking about that moment. It humbled me to the core and what was most important was not just completing my 100th marathon, it was that Vince found the energy to see me finish. Vince was and still is an inspiration to many of us and I want to keep his memory alive, every chance I get.You can read Vince's blog, ...And So It Begins Again, which is a journal of when his cancer came back and his thoughts, feelings and journey until the end. Here is a picture of Vince as he was running his last marathon at the Colfax Marathon in 2013 with all of his running friends including me. We all wore InVinceAble shirts. And the other picture is Vince greeting me at the finish line of the Colorado Marathon on May 4, 2014. Vince passed away May 31, 2014. Vince DiCroce finishing the Colfax Marathon in 2013 with his "InVinceAble Running Crew.
