Yay for 3:39! Cool. I was supposed to be there for the half; came to Texas instead.
And as I've said before: wow, Dove has hair. Hee. (I see Dove from time to time, but she's always wearing a hat)

erika,
glad you finally got over to the RVM and did so well with a PR time in your last of that AG runs. However, maybe take advantage of all the Equinox/RVM momentum and don't wait so long for the next one so you can start the new one off without delay with a big PR too. FYI, there's a flat out-and-back run of 26.2 miles the day before the Seattle Marathon along Lake Washington and Madronna Park that has 3:30 written all over it too.
What did you end up doing with that chip? When I forget my Road ID and all they give you is that short little locking plastic ratchet tie, it usually ends up around my big toe looking like an appointment with the ambulance, . . or worse.
ps - this is my third bailing of the RVM, . . . a PR, . . . and there's not even any consulation sweatshirts anymore.
See you next month <<<(SeattleGhostMarathon/SeattleGhostMarathon)>>>
ps - after two goddess PR times on the West Coast, the easters will be under a lot of pressure for all the marathons back there this weekend.

Thanks you guys, the pocket-video thing was a fun new toy that DH got with his Field & Stream subscription. I think it's the only reason he got the magazine. Resolution isn't great, but it's nice for these quick shots.
Tetsujin... this wasn't a PR! Close though... 48 seconds slower than my Boston 2008 time. I figure I could've had it without the porta potty stop, but I wasn't about to try! And no-can-do on the Seattle races. Mike tried to talk me into doing the double, but I can't spend the $$. On a tight budget till Boston!

i'm lovin' it... MM#1949
Nice race Erika!! You had some great paces and if you didn't have to have the stops it would have been a PR too! So your running is great even after Equinox! Congratulations!
