Never mind---tried linking the race report I posted on Kickrunners and it keeps showing up as an invalid link. I put it into a word document and whenever I try and paste that here on RA all the weird formatting symbols are visible. Wish I could delete the thread topic too. Sorry! The report is in my training log FWIW
No matter, it was a great day on 11/2 and I am recovering rapidly and well.
The report I am really waiting for is Maraposai's as she deserves the spotlight for running the NYC marathon---a long held dream.
Busy work period for me now, so I'll be scarce but running as always!
MTA: Thanks so much Holly and Bill! I am usually not such a Luddite, but didn't want to fiddle with it anymore. Good friends to the rescue!

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."
"Some are the strong, silent type. You can't put your finger on exactly what it is they bring to the table until you run without them and then you realize that their steadiness fills a hole that leaks energy in their absence." - Kristin Armstrong

I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.

Excellent job Karin!! I'm so happy that you were able to run NYC as it is so special to you. I felt so bad for your friend. I hope she is fully recovering too.

What a great race, CNY. Running in a place with memories and with the support of friends and family make it extra special. You had a great plan and executed it well. Your report was well written and a joy to read. Congratulations.
holly and breger, thanks for the link. It was neat hearing from some of the old CR gang that don't post on RA.

That was a super report--having just run this one last year, it is remarkable how you captured the neighborhoods--I could see it all again in my mind's eye. What a treat! [And being a Frank fan, the starting line fanfare got me totally pumped (the guys to the side peeing on the charity clothes, however, not so much )]
I agree with Erika -- you're our Iron K.
Congrats. I can't wait to track your progress in 2010, Karin.

Be safe. Be kind.
Dial it up indeed! You are amazing and what a great RR.
