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. Smile

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!
