Hats off to FoxCT and its coverage of Saturday’s Hartford Marathon. Logan Byrnes and Alison Morris did a nice job anchoring and made great use of their on-set expert, runner John Barresi, who was really informative and definitely knew his stuff. The reporters in the field were all solid and allowed the spirit and fortitude that’s required for distance running to come through. And a footnote… congrats to meteorologist and great guy Joe Furey who lost 70 (yes, 70) pounds in the process of training for the half marathon.
