Love the Sorrels! I hope they're not needed though... Well we can't send Carolyn off with gaps in her support crew, so I'm volunteering Holly, Mariposai and I to help out at miles 3, 11 and the last .2 to see her across the line. Heck, if you can't get multiple miles from Marathon Maniacs, who can you get them from?? Go Carolyn!!
(oh yeah, go Mike E, too, but you're a veteran at this and can figure it out as you go!)

YEah!!! you are right. Mike E is a veteran!
and as a Veteran, I think MikeE should run the .2 miles at the end
Holly, You and I shall do a double/tripple runs with our Elevation queen...how lucky we are!!!

Hey, would it be OK to have all the maniacs here join her for the last 0.2? no help will be needed for the victory lap to the finish banner, but maybe we can make a party out of it?
Does that sound like a plan?

Sounds great!
Marathon Maniacs, identify yourself. I will try to come up with the list of names...if I missed you, just let me know.
Nancy,
I think you have to add the Maniac that did the first ever forum marathon mileage shout out, unfortunately she is rarely hare anymore but I think you have to add Aamos to the maniac list at mile 26.0

I'm here! I'm here! Since I'm in Eastern Standard time, I know I'm not late.... You know we are all with you in this, and we can't wait to hear how it went when you are done! Here's hoping for a great race, and that you finish with a smile on your face!
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."
ditto. : D

Me too dave. Thanks #505.
I’d never even be posting anything about my sporatic running except for how much fun we had bantering with MM#130 about the 2004 Seattle Marathon on Cool Running. Amy's subsequent account of her last four miles of the Wyoming Marathon instantly made it one of my most favorite marathons I'll never do. I love hills in the latter miles but never heard of four miles of them to the finish. Oh, don’t tell MikeE how well our amy did though

You got this, Carolyn. Now,go runrunrun!!
Carolyn
Done! 5:18:42. Boy howdy was it ever windy! I made all you guys who were virtually running with me go ahead of me and block the wind.
Mtnchk brought her massage table, so we're now hanging out at my sister's house, getting massages! What a treat.
I'll post a RR sometime soon. Thanks so much for all your support!
I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
Well, I didn't get in on a mile, but let me be the first to offer congrats on your first marathon! How well I remember the feeling!
Hope you have many more, unlike me! WAY TO ROCK IT WILDCHILD!
Congratulations! Way to go Carolyn...well done!
Wow, 5:18:42 in that course is AMAZING FAST!
Well done, MARATHONER!!!
Be proud of yourself and keep that smile on your face shining for a long time!!!
Woohoo! Awesome finish there, Wildchild! Congratulations and enjoy the massage!
