Run
Comments: Got to run the first loop and a half with Little Leslie and Stan N. Both MM that make me look like a baby. Stan is going for 300 races next year and LL has done 53 marathon or better this year, plus 40+ last year. First loop was ok till about around 2 hours, started to looose the pace and slowly went down hill after that. Walked the hills and spent too much time at the aid station. Had a very nice tail wind at the finish but, couldn't break 5 hours. What would you do differently?: Not be a LardButt. Not sure what was more of a cause, running a marathon the previous weekend or the cold weather. But than when you meet LL and Stan, just HTFU and get going..... Post race
Warm down: Drove home and bought pizza and walked the dogs. What limited your ability to perform faster: Weight. Event comments: This is for people that like to run marathons. Carry a bottle for 26 miles. Not for the faint of heart that need coddling. The goodie bag I got from Lenora Dolphin at the finish had more goodies than Las Vegas Marathon or Bellingham Bay. Even got a medal (soccer medal) Last updated: 2008-10-22 12:00 AM

Early morning oatmeal and coffee, took the dogs out for their morning walk. Whiny little sh##s, saw me wearing running clothes and thought this was their day....ever hear dogs moan?
Realized I was ahead of schedule and could make it up to the start line for the 8am start. Glad I did. 20 minute drive later was up at the cold and windy start line in Birch Bay Park.
Nothing.
