I am embarrassed about the last three miles because I could have sucked it up to run 10:00 pace there, although not the 9:30 pace I had imagined.
Running across the dam was pretty damn cool.
Be safe. Be kind.
Marathon Maniac #957
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."
"During a marathon, I run about two-thirds of the time. That's plenty." - Margaret Davis, 85 Ed Whitlock regarding his 2:54:48 marathon at age 73, "That was a good day. It was never a struggle."
We had to run, not on sand, but on chunky gravel for about 1/3 of a mile? I read that the full had to run on that junk for several miles, but maybe they meant sand.
