Fairfield Man Runs a 'Marathon' Most Days Fairfield Man Runs a 'Marathon' Most Days
Fairfield Man Runs a 'Marathon' Most Days FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Most days can be a marathon for Fairfield’s Matthew Day. They are not the 26.2-mile variety — like the New York City Marathon in which he will run on Nov. 6 — but they are tests of endurance. On a typical day, the 38-year-old runner begins running at 5:30 a.m. He then hustles to catch a 7:15 train to work in Greenwich. When he returns around 12 hours later, he is greeted by wife Katie and his four children, who are all under the age of 7 and include a baby born in June. “It can be a bit of challenge to get it all in,’’ Day said. “You add a newborn to the equation, it gets…

Wilton Mom Hits (Marathon) Lottery On First Try Wilton Mom Hits (Marathon) Lottery On First Try
Wilton Mom Hits (Marathon) Lottery On First Try WILTON, Conn. – Ann Margaret Mannix hit the New York lottery on her first try. Instead of monetary riches, however, the Wilton mother of four gets the joyful experience of managing her way through the five boroughs with nearly 40,000 other runners in the Nov. 6 New York City Marathon. "It’s always been in the back of my mind," Mannix said. "I thought I’ll throw my application in and get the process started. I was surprised I got in. I took it as a sign that I should do it." The New York City marathon will be Mannix’s first 26.2-mile race. She is a  long-time runner but only recently conside…

Darien Woman Steps Up for Kids in Marathon DARIEN, Conn. – After smiling every step of the way in last year’s ING New York City Marathon, Darien’s Karen Stamoulis is looking to repeat the experience this year. Stamoulis runs for a charity, Team for Kids, which has been one of her primary inspirations. “I knew runners in town who run for them,’’ Stamoulis said. “I wanted to do something that helps children and encourages exercise and healthy habits.” Last year’s marathon was her first attempt at the 26.2-mile distance.
