Heat and humidity are really tough for a marathon -- it sounds like you handled it well. <br />May you have many fine runs ahead.<br />Looking forward to seeing you in the park.JohnnyGohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066044088204621107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003655648709901847.post-28687087011173825692010-05-05T21:50:41.502-04:002010-05-05T21:50:41.502-04:00I was the guy talking to the 2 girls running the h...I was the guy talking to the 2 girls running the half. How funny. What a small world! Good luck in your training and I'm looking forward to reading your posts. I also read the Big Sur post today. I hope to run that marathon someday!bookitjvbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174345314653981294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003655648709901847.post-26934508734726582892010-05-05T19:41:29.907-04:002010-05-05T19:41:29.907-04:00Congratulations!

I blamed my heavy legs for the back-to-back marathon thing but I'm sure the weather played a big part, too.<br /><br />I'm sure you still had a great experience with friends and family there to share the day with you!<br /><br />Were you by chance talking to two girls in the portapotty line before the race? A guy behind me was chatting to two ladies and he was from NYC. The women were doing the half. I'm sure there were tons of NYC runners there but thought I'd ask.<br /><br />I wish I had thought to do a soak in Lake Michigan after the race. I lost my sunglasses at the finish, though, and it sort of threw me off.<br /><br />You might find another marathon in the next month or so to piggy back off your training. If the weather lines up I bet you could run the 3:40 you were going for.RoadBunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628262932938865868noreply@blogger.com
