Just adding another congrats! Way to HTFU! I've learned a lot from your posts. My next task is to find some blister guard. Hm, and maybe some bacon! Don't think I'll luck out on the fried cheese curds, maybe I can hit up my brother in Lansing, but I don't think they'd do too well in the mail. Isn't it amazing how GOOD gatorade endurance tastes when you need electrolytes? Otherwise it's kinda Dead

So true. I really thought that it would make me feel Dead

, but it tasted fabulous! I'm definitely going to train with that next year. I wouldn't need as many gels with that stuff, either, which would mean less to carry, too. I think next time around I might have a little individual serving pack of Pringles and carry a second one in my hand to eat maybe at the halfway point or so. That would be a good source of carbs and sodium. Don't some runners actually drink pickle juice? I could see that actually being kinda good (of course, I LOVE dill pickles, so that may color my judgement some).

I know pickle juice was all the rage at football camps a few years back. Stick with the gatorade unless you really really like pickle juice. Incidentally, I know how to make pickle bread, but I won't share that punchline (thanks, Gallagher for screwing up my yoot) in mixed company.

Your new profile shot looks 'shopped. You sure you didn't just superimpose yourself in there? Clowning around

. Congrats! (Damn, you kicked my butt by 10 mins for your first marathon.) Now, it's time to push the distance bar and run a 50K. Big grin

If you blurred yourself and left everyone else clear, it would make it look like you were running way faster than everyone else.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

Now you look like a trading card. Kind of cool. Please put your stats on the back. And make it smell like Topps gum.

Congrats! A PR is in your future. Cool
