Well, it happened. I ran another marathon exactly 4 weeks after my best-ever ( by age grading, not actual time, just saying).

And it was..fun!

The weather was beautiful—no wind, mild temps, blue skies. It was maybe 10 deg warmer than perfect but SO much better than last year and, TBH, better than the weather here over the past week.

I wish I’d taken a moment to capture some images, but I was too much in go-time mode. Given that I got really awful quad cramps after just 8 miles 10 days ago, I’m so grateful that I could run the whole 26.2 today—no walking, a bit of cramping, but no epic crash in the last 10 miles. I was able to keep a largely steady pace, albeit more leisurely than I might have liked.

I will post some wrap up and gratitudes tomorrow. Going to bed—had to get up at 2:30 to do all my pre-game and get the bus at 5 am.
