Tweren't no small miracle - you trained and ran a good race. And it sounds like you had fun too. Eyes intact from the pacer sign. How is the knee today?
WOOHOO!
WOW, Negative split in a marathon and a 7 min PR while battling that knee and your illness, you are truly inspiring.
Feeling the growl again
Didn't hear the girl tell me the cup was filled w/ beer at 22 and downed it.
Awesome.
What a great race, thanks for sharing and great job. What did you end up doing to taper for the race based on the conversation in your other thread?
I did not know about the cancer issue, I hope all is going well with that too.
Enjoy your victory dance!

Girl, I love telling your story to people. I have a friend who is between radiation treatments and ran a 4:14, yesterday...he also ran Chicago, this year. I have the utmost respect and admiration for you both.

Wow. That's just awesome and very inspiring. Congrats!
Rule number one of a gunfight, bring a gun. Rule number two of a gunfight, bring friends with guns.
Wow, negative split, PR and BQ all in one day.
Maybe we all need to down a beer at mile 22 from now on. We can call it the Chilidog Beer.
May I also recommend a chili dog at M20? Mmmmm.
Nice - Thanks for the report - I also love to hear when people are freed from the shackles of the their garmin.
Gamin didn't charge and I didn't want to feed into OCD tendencies and double-check battery status night before. By mile 1, it was merely a bracelet. ... Running sans garmin forced me to rely on how i felt vs time. Proved to be very freeing and much more enjoyable. Didn't hear the girl tell me the cup was filled w/ beer at 22 and downed it. - Snort Lost track of mike markers and was rhrilled to see 25 & 26 and final hill. - I love when this happens . Negative splits finished 8:57pace overall 3:54:48. BQ and PR >7 minutes, 59/894 field. Best race ever. Cried like a baby...
