Kick ass!!!

Congratulations!!!! I'm so impressed when people do things like this that I just couldn't possibly fathom doing myself. Way to go!

[Bostondevil]

I fuckin' did it!!!! I got an official time, you show up on the website, it's official. That was the goal. I thought you didn't get one unless you break 6 hours but you actually have 6 hours 15 minutes from the start of the second wave. The clock was still up an it read 6:13 something when I crossed so I had a minute and a half to spare! Awesome. Ok, honesty time, last year, I say I took 6 1/2 hours it was more like 6:40 so I took somewhere between 30 and 40 minutes off my overall time!!!!!! And I did it with some monster leg cramps. They were so bad at one point that a runner came up from behind me and offered to massage them out for me, no lie, she could SEE my legs cramping up. I sent her on her way but stopped at the next med tent for a massage. The guy there with the miracle fingers asked me if I was sure I wanted to keep going. I said, "I can still walk!" The last 8 miles, when my friend Harry jumped in with me, we would run until my legs cramped up. He kept me from falling down more than once. I couldn't have done it without Harry.

All right, I'll admit it, I am proud of myself. Thanks to everybody here who supported me.

Such a cool story. Yay for Harry! Yay for YOU!

Fantastic job, Bostondevil!

Sending healthy, happy, post-race vibes your way.

And, by golly, you should be very proud of yourself!

So how are you feeling today?

[Bostondevil]

I'll stop talking about marathons soon, but in the meantime, here's one more picture. This one is Harry and me at the finish line.

After a day of recovery, the calf muscles are still very sore but the worst is my right big toe, seriously damaged toenail, a little swollen and either blistered or cut, can't tell which. Other than that, I actually feel better than last year.
