Renee you and Max pick me up as you catch me around mile 20?

Renee - I'm planning on walking the aid stations - my guess is that since my longest run is 16 miles, at about 18 I'll be in some trouble, push through it/walk-run until about 22 and then have to pull off some magical feat of inner strength to get across the finish line. That's my epic plan - finish time I hope in under 6 hours.

Heh, we have similar plans! My longest run was 19 miles, so I figure by mile 22 I will be hurting. I'll have Max-a-million to get me moving, tapping my inner strength to get me through the last 6 miles. I'm hoping for ~ 6 hour run (poor Max).

Good luck, Thomas! Do well and may the force be with you!

Welshy, I have all the confidence in the world that you will do well.  But just as an emergency preparedness measure, make sure you tuck a freebirds monster in your running shorts for those last few miles.

Go get 'em !!

What do you think took longer, to run the mary or to type that post?  And look, apparently he can spell when he's physically wasted.

Great Job Welshy!!!  Congrats.

I think the old dude finished already, just went back to get his clothes.

 

Congrats, Thomas T. Marathoner! Where's that race report?

As I blew past her she finally faced the aweful fact that she couldn't compete with all that is Welshy and stopped, broken.
