1988 Drake Relays... Yep that's Toby and Bill Rodgers. Toby and Bill shared the stage that day. Toby won the masters marathon and Bill won the masters 10K |
1987 - Wyoming Governors Cup |
2007 Fiesta Bowl 1/2 |
And here are Toby's 1988 and 1989 numbers. 1988 was Toby's most productive sub3 year (16) |
Whata ya know, Toby's backed off the 100+ mile weeks, but that hasn't stopped him from updating his t-shirt collection and scoring some nice new hardware. 18 races since mid July including the Portland Marathon and the Fiesta Bowl Half Marathon. 21 weeks of 65 miles or more and an average '07 weekly mileage of 59. So Toby went to Fiji for two months (March / April 2008) and apparently couldn't find any races so now he's in make-up mode...and running 70+ mile weeks! |
