- I had not been back to my birth state until now and it sure gave me a "warm" welcome, and oh man...WHAT A RACE. Had the race of my lifetime at the Grandma's Marathon so I went off yapping a little bit more in this recap. But the TLDR is: I finally did it and I'm happy.
After the previous two "failed" marathon attempts, it just made this attempt that much sweeter and fueled me that more to become a better runner. Stacking the marathon training blocks back to back was definitely a challenge in itself, but I was able to get through it with my friends and family training along with me and cheering me on. They really believed in me and stuck with me to the end.
No Gopro race video this time, and instead I sort of combined the recap and some race footage into this single video since race footage was limited (I really wanted to run well this time). But hopefully this video still did it's job in somewhat showing you guys how the course was as well as my experience with it. It started off so nice in the beginning of the race, but I realized it got pretty wet later on in the race.
Hope you guys enjoy! Below are some video markers in case you're here for only certain sections.

It's been wild, but so happy I got through with it. Running is amazing. On to the next running milestone!
You should have more subscribers. Keep going 👍
This should be the gold standard for all the race recaps. So happy for you Alvin! Thanks for taking us down the memory lane and I loved hearing about every detail leading up to the race, during the race and afterwards.
I really enjoyed watching this vid and hearing the wonderful insights you have shared. I’m watching this from Melbourne in Australia and preparing for my first marathon in October. Your comments and learnings have added to my knowledge build. Congratulations - an inspiring story!
Hey man congrats. I showed up in a lot of the late race clips (guy in the “Daddy’s Money” singlet) and finished 2:50:0x. Happy you had a better finish than I did!
Congrats on the sub-2:50 and great job on the recap video. You captured the feelings of many of us marathon runners so well. Especially liked hearing about bonding with others who are only running near you for portions of the race. After my Tokyo finish several people came up to me and spoke about how they had followed right behind me the whole race, as if we were buddies without having spoken a word yet.
Well done Alvin!!
Youre a beast!
Soo TL;DR is miss a flight, inhale a bunch of spaghetti, and live like a college student again to Boston qualify? :D Great job homie, we all knew you had it in ya, and glad the marathon gods finally gave you an official result to show for all your strong diligence and effort. Looking forward to what the 100K brings :D
Congratulations, Alvin!🎉 Such a great achievement. And I love how your brother is your biggest cheerleader!📣 Hoping he did well with the half.
Congrats on crushing your goal. Very impressive to see how much you have improved. Enjoy Boston it is a special experience.
nice storytelling -- I could feel some emotions welling up in me when you described the final spurt of the marathon 🥺. and good job making sure all the poops came out of you beforehand.
may the running winds be with you in Boston and the 100K!
Awesome race, Alvin. I was on the right side at 17:21 in the white singlet and neon Alphafly's. Wish I had known you were there. Could have paced with you.
Congrats Alvin, so proud of you. So many losses and BQ Attempts throughout this journey but now you have officially done the impossible. Have fun in Boston, now it's my turn, getting that BQ Attempt at CIM thus coming December 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congrats Alvin! Great work and taking what you learned in the past to destroy Grandmas. You had the race marathoners dream of! Enjoy Boston!
