No kidding, I put on at least five pounds during my taper, and I was watching what I ate.  I haven't stopped eating since the marathon finish line, don't want to know what I weigh now.

 

Best of luck all, kick some asphalt!

Nice job Sue, now you get to train for Boston through the winter. Now there's a reward for your hard effort.

Good work, Trent. It was nice chatting for a few of those miles to help tick them off. In all a great run today despite the $#!++y weather. Damn were my hands cold at the finish.

 

It was also cool to see all the other good timesers in the crowd. Including EJ and George along the route. Thanks for volunteering.

 

Six months till April.......

Incredible job to all! I can't imagine what the weather was like being in Cancun, but it sounded just awful! Wish I could have been there. It seemed like everybody that I've met over the past year of running was either running it or providing support.

Typical runner, glutton for punishment.  

 

 

 

Check out Fil's result, unless I am greatly mistaken our friend punched a ticket to Hopkinton in his marathon debut! (Why the hell don't they have the designation for BQ on the results?  All the qualifier races put an asterisk or pound sign next to qualifying times)
