You're right they aren't all the races we wish for, but the fortitude to stick it out no matter what that's what really makes us runners. <BR/><BR/>I hope you are recovered and feeling well.

This is not only a great post, but a great short story you need to publish.

YIKES!! now obviously I don't think thats a good plan but just kinda speaks to how it was able to keep him going to get a 3 hour time & not bonk...He said he was under trained for a 3hr time & it was crazy hard...<BR/><BR/>EARLY & OFTEN!!!! you will be ready for the next one<BR/><BR/>and ONCE Again, WAY TO GET UP & FINISH, I think U have some awesome "ULTRA" characteristics in ya big time....hmmmm maybe one in 2008 :-)Bob Gentilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08529878931334675228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341375666857022597.post-44135159526799623522007-10-22T18:11:00.000-04:002007-10-22T18:11:00.000-04:00There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said. Indeed, you're an inspiration. What an upbeat, positive attitude you have.

Oh - when you said it was your glucose, I can only imagine how weak/woozy/otherworldly you must have felt! Your race makes me respect the distance all the more, because I could tell how prepared you were, in every way - only to have something unforeseen happen! You're an amazing runner (and writer)!Monica C.http://www.xanga.com/monilarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341375666857022597.post-18094178002685329772007-10-22T17:29:00.000-04:002007-10-22T17:29:00.000-04:00Oh my gosh.

I can't believe you climbed OUT of the ambulance to finish the race. I probably would have asked the nice EMT people for a ride back to the hotel. :)<BR/><BR/>Also, somehow I didn't realize until now that this was only your second marathon! I thought it was just your second time running this particular one. You will figure out what you need to do differently next marathon and you WILL qualify for Boston!<BR/><BR/>Finally... what awesome support, wow!

You just have to keep running scared. The glucose thing. I've been there, know how it feels, know how disappointed you were. But you need to take care of yourself before the next attempt, figure out a better nutrition plan, etc. My coach always said start slow and then go slower. When you get to the halfway point you can kick it in. So there's more time. More to learn. Yesterday was a great lesson, no matter how much it hurts. You gained something just for getting there and trying. Go through the "not doing this again" thing, and then brush yourself off and get back on the horse. And remember that you gave it your all, and now you know.Vickiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12302710072433158197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341375666857022597.post-64437462176935413122007-10-22T14:46:00.000-04:002007-10-22T14:46:00.000-04:00you rock.Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01312962424528695296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341375666857022597.post-83365971168890281422007-10-22T13:14:00.000-04:002007-10-22T13:14:00.000-04:00I'm sorry your marathon fell apart towards the end, but so glad you were okay!

I'm so sad for you, but at the same time so proud of you that you got up and finished, and that you finished running. You're a strong person and even though it didn't quite come out the way you wanted, I know you'll get to Boston.
