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.

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.Vickiehttps://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.you rock.Cynthiahttps://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...I'm sorry your marathon fell apart towards the end, but so glad you were okay!
