3:40

and some change, it hurt, but I'll take it ;)

I am back to the land of Cleve after a long day on the bus. Incredibly sore. The ice bath was....pleasant? Not walking too well so I am off to recover with some chocolate milk and snuggling with my awesome husband.

Really everyone thank you so much for all your support in comments, text messages, phone calls, and well wishes. I continue to be amazed by all the wonderful friends I am surrounded by.

A couple pics till I have time to recap...


SERC Rules! From left to right 3:40, 3:09, 3:17, 3:08


And a little Phog for Mouse (who totally rocks and is super awesome).

Nice job. Isn't it great how we can just be identified by our marathon times? We don't even need names.

Nice job Elizabeth. Fast!

Toasty said...

Great mental run ... you have done well to finish with pain. I've found more satisfaction in a run like that, than one that goes to plan. Rest, listen to your body its telling you something.

Steven said...

Excellent job, E! That is a very good time under some tough conditions.

Congrats!
