Congratulations to Kimberlie, Heidi, David, and Ralph!!! Great performances!!!  Had a blast!!!

 

Ohhhh man...  Had waited soo long for this race...   A lot of long hard training leading up to this marathon.  The weather was good.  Could have been better but could have definitely been worse.  Came into this race feeling good and as always no complaining.  Hit the half way on target then fell off slightly in the second half.  Ran most of the race with the first two women.   Not embarrassed to say that ha, they were Kenyan!?!  Should have ran my own race but I did build a lot of energy by running with those two.  Lots of crowd support cheering on the first two women and the big white guy in between them.  Fun race though!!   Didn't hit my goal but I'll take the 12 min. PR.  I am learning as I go.  Definitely a lot more learning to go but thats what makes running so fun and interesting.  Can't wait for the next marathon..  Another 12 min PR?? haha.  Pittsburgh here I come.
