I FINISHED! It was one crazy race, but my knee held up and I busted out a 4:59 marathon. YAY!
It was raining from mile 7-21, but it was all good. I met a couple crazys who had run a gazillion marathons. One dude was on his 57th and planned to run til he was 75 to make 75 marathons in his running tenure. Then there was the guy who was running his #76 and was retiring. One chic was a full time grad student with 4 kids at home. OMG! How she ever trained with all that going on....
A HUGE shout out to Edwin (my all loving physical therapist) and Stacia for running miles 21-24 with me. Its just amazing how running with someone changes the dynamics completely. She knows when to talk and when to just run - every second helps.
Pictures to come...
So... whos in with me next? Any suggestions?

maybe I'll do one with you - we'll see. Sounds like punishment.
Congrats! Now you can go back to running for fun. : )
I may train for a half...but I don't think my body could do 26 miles. You are amazing.
