Happy
I enjoyed reading your race report - and what beautiful photos!!!!
At first I thought I had clicked on the wrong link - your report was so professional looking; then I realized it was a personal report which I very much appreciate. You did go through a less than perfect race - it can be hard to swallow when you've prepared so hard for it.
You've run an amazing number of marathons---------------- is it 30?! WOW!
I recognize the feeling you described of forgetting that there was a problem (the twisted ankle a few weeks back) and then all of a sudden remembering it again when the pain comes.
I know there are some better marathons in the pipeline for you. It's interesting that you like the elliptical for cross training. I like it too but it stresses my legs when I want recovery so I try not to use it much on recovery days - it's just me being crazy, I'm sure.
Good luck on healing fast.
