Race Results

Hi everyone! I just wanted to thank you all for your support and all of your beautiful comments. Knowing that all of you were rooting for me definitely helped keep me going throughout the race.

The good news is that I finished the race, relatively unscathed, although I am RIDICULOUSLY sore. The even better new is...

I QUALIFIED FOR BOSTON!! I finished the marathon with a time of approximately 3:35, which is 6 minutes faster than I needed!!

I am off to enjoy my last night in SF but I should be back to regular blogging and commenting tomorrow. I miss reading all of your blogs and I didn't want to keep you all hanging on the edge of your seat. Especially thanks to Palidor for sending people over here from her blog. I SUPER appreciated it!

  12. Wow, that is just smokin' fast. I am in absolute awe of women who can run that fast. It is amazing to me. It's beauty just to see it really. I have a friend from college in her late 30's who has been running marathons for at least a decade.

    She just ran a marathon this weekend (not SF), and you beat her time by almost 2 minutes.

    You should be proud!!
