I couldn't let these memories slip, so I mostly finished writing my marathon story last night. Up on my blog now:

Thank you again for all the sweet comments. H&F rocks.

Loved the recap! It sounds like you ran a smart race! It also sounds like it was a really pretty course. I can totally relate to that bittersweet feeling. It hit me hard after my last marathon, but I think it's something we all deal with. Congrats again!! You rocked it.

Great race and awesome recap! I love the kid that handed you a Goldfish and that you ate it. Totally worth it

I'm so excited for you getting such a huge PR! Sounds like a fun race in spite of the last half being out and back. I had a similar feeling with the out and back at the end of Surf City, it was a bit daunting!

Yes! The last section on the multi purpose path where you're knocking out 17-20 and the people inches from you on the other side are at 23, is brutal. Man it feels nice when you turn that last hairpin at 20, and you're on the other side though.
