As I sit here typing this almost a week removed from the magical experience, it still brings back so many memories. I did see a guy running the entire marathon BAREFOOT. No minimalist shoes, straight barefoot. Eek.
I found some pictures from marathonfoto that are further proof that wide smile I told you about continued to shine – here’s my favorite from the finish line:) Notice I made sure to take my shades off to have the total finish line experience:)
Below, post race. It doesn’t even look like I ran 26.2 does it?
I think this is right after Heartbreak Hill. Poor guy on the side isn’t looking too good. I continued on!
So now what? Where does one go from here? I’m taking another week to “recover.” Active recovery really. I ran once this week (well other than Monday) and I imagine I’ll run no more than 3x next week. I’ll be riding the 5 boro bike tour with my dad next Sunday (it probably will come out to 50ish miles by the end). Swim classes begin a week from Monday as does training for the race-that-shall-not-be-named! No rest for the weary. 2010 is the year of GO GET IT!
If you can’t keep up with me, then try harder:)

I’m not even going to tri to keep up with you! It’s fun to see you in takeoff mode. It looks as though you are just hitting your stride.
It’s great to read that you’re doing the 5 boro bike tour with your dad! I envy both of you 🙂
Be looking forward to following your progress through your events of the next few months, especially “the race-that-shall-not-be-named” 😉
I am so impressed by you! Congratulations!
Count me in for some trail running as you train for the race not to be named 😉
Sweet! I definitely am looking for company:-)
i hope you beat that chick in the neon Brooks outfit, she has some serious hip weakness going on…. tsk tsk.
