wildchild, you're a pal for life. 

 

I did well and poorly.  Ran the first half easily, despite the rising heat, but my quads shut down by mile 17 (I had a wicked chest cold starting 4 weeks out and I had missed my last long run....boohoo!).  The 2nd half was frustrating, as my heart rate was low but my quad pain so intense that I had to walk a lot.  End result...another 4:22 marathon, bluh!

 

Besides the pain, though, it was a riot -- lots of fun to meet (patient) pals at the end.

A day late, but happy birthday!

Sorry your time wasn't what you were hoping for, but not bad at all in those conditions.

Belated happy birthday, Econo.  I hope it was a good one.  Your marathon sounds pretty good to me.

Happy Birthday, Econo! 

 

I hope you'll post the link to your RR over here, so your fans on this side (like me) can read about it.   

Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

Happy Birthday Econo!!  sorry I'm late.  I was executive officer for the week, and you know how that goes.  As far as your marathon, a 4:22... and with intense quad pain?   and post illness?  You, my dear, are an animal.  way to go.

 

uh... my words fell out of my balloon. 

 

fondest regards,

Dennis
