  • Comments: This is a must do race! It would be a great 1st marathon because of all the people in the crowd support. Even in the rain there were thousands of fans cheering. A good course to BQ on as well. Most of the hills are early and the last 16 miles are generally downhill.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: You know, I was expecting to feel a lot different about the finish. Everyone said I would be on cloud nine and I am proud of the accomplishment. I will have a "26.2" sticker on my car until I die. However, it wasn't the euphoric experience some people explained to be. Not sure why that is, but it is. I was slightly bummed about 4:21, since I wanted to be closer to 4:00. Later on that night, Taneen (the veteran marathoner) emailed me and said it was the hardest marathon course she's ever done. I feel better! Over the last four months, a lot of people have asked "why are you running a marathon?" For a lot of reasons, I guess. For starters, I enjoy training FOR something. It's not as much to run or bike just to run or bike. Secondly, my hope is that the two sets of little eyes watching Dad's every move see that living a somewhat healty lifestyle is important and that they pick up some of those habits. Not that I don't drink my share of beer and eat my share of wings, but hopefully

  • Comments: Lots of volunteers and spectators in spite of the wet weather. I don't know what else they had post-race as most people weren't hanging around very long.
