| Nice work, Dave. And, it was great to meet you before the start. Who knew we'd have to travel from Toronto to Columbus to meet face-to-face. I still can't believe that you were able to pick me out of a crowd of 10,000, wearing a garbage bag in the dawn's early light! I digress... great run, awesome PR. I'll post my own report shortly, but just wanted to say you rock, man! |

Dude, I got to the start (later than I'd hoped) and was like, there is NO WAY I am going to find anyone. So I figured I would take one good look and see if I could find Orange Man or you. (I checked your photos out from your last HM just in case)
WOW, first glance, literally 5 seconds of crowd scanning, I recognized your visor. freaky lucky. How long was that port-o-potty wait? I should have lined up...well, I should have got there a lot earlier.
Like I said before -- I once again learned a lot!
BTW - Thanks for all of the nice replies my RA friends!

ITBS, hamstring, ... glad to hear you crossed the line and triumphed over your nagging injuries. You earned that PR.  |

I just got back from Physio / sports massage....I feel golden. Knees feel better than they have in a long time. The usual post marathon quad pain still lingers a bit. I cannot f*&^%# wait to run.
My signature quote below rings so true. I am looking forward to the next marathon journey, right to the 26.2 mile victory lap! |
