Maybe she celebrated a little too much last night?

I'm guessing she was so pumped at the end of her race she just kept going. She's 150 miles closer to Nashville now than she was at race end.

Lower Potomac Marathon. Set a 1hr and 26 minute PR!!!! 4:44:12!!!!!!!!! It was awesome, I ran the first half in 2:11. I blew up around mile 18 with lots of cramps - in many places including my hips. I had to walk/run - I was pissed - but do not yet have the mental toughness to block it all out yet - but it's time to learn!!! I'm pumped and ready for the next one!!!!

Mental toughness does not overcome a bonk. Training and pacing can prevent one.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

I slowed down to my long run pace - actually it was still faster than my last 16 miler I ran. So sure if that's a bonk I'll take it - it was awesome - taught me alot.

I agree. I have learned far more from the races I blew up than the races I did not.

I learned the most from the marathon where I felt the strongest at the end, even though it was not my fastest.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

I'm not sure I've ever "learned" anything from any marathon. I've hit a wall or two, felt great, felt bad. Sixteen marathons later, I just train as well as I can and hope for the best. Most of the time I don't have a clue why things went great or didn't. I've always thought that was part of the marathon addiction. It's a lot like gambling.

Tanya I don't think I learned much in a way I could vocalize if that makes sense. Like I know my training will change/tweak as a result of this race. And it definitely showed me some things I need to work on. But i'm not sure I could tell you all that I learned. Maybe more like the experience was important for me to have.
