On March 14, 2009 Ed Nagle ran the Seabrook Lucky Trails Half Marathon. The next day Ed ran the full marathon. That's 40 miles in two days by a man GOING THROUGH CANCER TREATMENT in his 60’s. Ed ran these races for me knowing I was headed for surgery a week later. In fact I was so sick from trial chemo I couldn't attend the race on Sunday. Ed and his wife Marcia stayed in touch over the next 18 months making sure I was okay. Ed passed away on August 14, 2010. While running Seabrook Ed wore a sign that read “Bob Milligan will be running soon!” Five years later I will run Houston for Ed! It won’t be pretty; it will be painful and I could care less about the time. I will finish the race in memory of Ed.
