That is a start and an end.  Facebook pressure does not mess around!

Congrats on the race, and on the great report as always!

And even more congrats on the baby in progress! Although the cats will, I'm sure, be unimpressed.

I am no doctor, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I say keep running as long as you feel physically able. For both your body and your mind.

Despite living in the Detroit metro area, I have never run a race downtown. Hopefully that will change in October, we'll see. Hope you enjoyed your stay in general, other than race organization problems and signal reception of any kind. Detroit gets a bad rap but there are really some nice parts.

Sucks about the course planning. In the marathon I did, we merged with the half runners with about 6-7 miles to go. Which I thought would be nice, since it was a pretty small marathon field (360) and I thought it would keep things from getting too lonely. But in fact the timing put us with some of the slower runners, whom I found myself wanting to pass. The course narrowed in portions, and I was in the part of the race where I was basically on brain-stem function only, and the last thing I wanted to do was try to run around people, or red-rover through a 4-across line, or use excess energy to say "excuse me". Although ended up having to do all those things. So it was a bit annoying. Fortunately however it did not create any food lines. Not that there was any food worth waiting for, it was pretty lame. But I digress.

Anyway, congrats again.
