          I know I got a little dramatic. Big grin  It was a dramatic moment.

            Hamburgers or Spamburgers?

             

            Funny you should ask, the burger I usually get at this place has SPAM on it!  But I decided to get the Donut Burger this time:  patty of half ground beef and half bacon, served with a fried egg and American cheese between two glazed donuts.

                I'm not so sure about that.  There are a bunch of copyright watermarks on them.

                 

                Congrats on the PR.

                You people have issues

                  As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

                        Thanks.  You would LOVE the burger place - so much bacon - and spam - basically a salted pork heaven.

                          Great photos!

                            Well Done!  Surf City is a fun race.  Congratulations on crushing your PR, the negative splits, and on the realization that you have grown out of the run-walk-run technique.  I run Disney frequently and always greet Mr. Galloway (a runDisney celebrity) as I pass him on the course.

                             

                            And walking to the staring corrals is a real treat.  I woke up to the horn of the marathon start (6:30 am) and got to the half corrals right on time.

                             

                            Keep training, keep running and oh the places you'll go!

                              Just had a heart attack thinking about it!

                                Great job, Brilliant!  You killed it!

                                 

                                Very cool to see that you trained well, overcame the mental barriers, and possibly had an "a-ha" moment  when you realized that you were going to be able to finish much stronger than expected.

                                 

                                Awesome race.
