Short Story: 4:06, 32 minutes shaved off my last marathon, no asthma attack and I am completely, completely satisfied. (and completely sore!) I gave it everything I had and could not have run a second faster.
I am also so proud of Sarah for her AMAZING time with no speedwork and having had a baby 6 months ago. (4 minutes away from qualifying for Boston!)
Here are the Boston qualifiers (and me!) and I hope they will record their experiences also. I would love to hear their take on the race. I am SO happy for and proud of them!
I will write the long story later. Thanks everyone for your well wishes. I felt them during this race.
Special thanks to my awesome husband! He has been so supportive of my journey and never doubted me even when I doubted myself. He took care of Bryce and cheered me on (even with a brace on after ACL surgery. I love you sweetie, and I owe you...
Only bummer: Lonely race for me. Some day I hope to be able to keep up with my friends. :-)
Our group! Congrats to everyone for their hard work and great races. Thanks to all of you bloggers who inspired me!
Long Story: Coming soon...
Lyrics not to listen to when running a marathon: Coming soon...
(Example:
The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.)

Can someone please help me pull my jaw off the floor?? Seriously. These two ran amazing times! But, then again, I knew they would! :)
This has given my not-so-much-running-of-late butt a swift kick. I am SO going after that 4 hour mark at Eugene. It's mine this time.
Wow! Great running, everyone. I was thinking about you when I woke up, as I took my little girl to dance, and then I was inspired to hit the treadmill, though I'd procrastinated all day..."If they can run a marathon, I can squeeze out 5." Thanks for the motivation and hooray, hooray for you!!
Great job! I have pretty much decided (thanks to everyone here) that I am going to run a marathon now that I have some triathlons under my belt. I think I will just start with the 1/2 marathon first though!
Congratulations, Kelly! I look forward to hearing more about your and Suzie's experience.
WOW and WOW!! I'm just so very proud of you guys. I've been thinking about all of you this entire weekend.
Congrats!!
HOLY FREAKIN' COW!! Your times are amazing girls. Many many heartfelt congrats. So impressed and I am anticipating some wonderful race reports.
CONGRATS! WOO HOO! THREE CHEERS FOR THE MARATHON MOMMIES!
There really are superheroes out there. Outstanding, fantastic, inspiring! Where's the full story? I'm dying to read it.
