35,000 runners?! Holy crap. That is a lot of people. San Diego RR had only 16000. That’s a lot of people to run with for 26 miles!

Great job on your run. Sounds like you had a great time.

Way to go, Jill!!! Great race report! You did awesome. I don’t know what it is about race day that brings out tummy issues.

It sounds like you had a great day despite your obstacles. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Alissa & Chris: I’m pretty sure Cyto is the drink for PF Chang’s. But I’ve been training with Cyto all season and haven’t had problems. I’m fairly certain that my stomach troubles stemmed from eating too many strange/different foods the night before.

BethT: You’re right, every race should provide spots for charity cast-offs.

Bethany: At marathon expos they give out temporary tattoos that give you mile-by-mile breakdowns of how far into the race you should be if you want to met a certain time goal. I had on on my arm.

Chris: I got the sleeves at the expo, as a last minute purchase due to the cold that moved in. They say “Gizmo” on them, but I can’t find them online. (Very preliminary searching…) I have heard the Moeben sleeves are good, so I may look into those too.

tgorourke: You’re welcome, all kind words are completely earned. And yeah… some people in headphones get blamed for bad behavior, but tossing clothes in front of a runner behind you is far worse!

Penny: It meant soooo much to me that my husband got to be there for this event. And the TNT coaches on the course were amazing, they helped get me through as well!

~moe~: Thank you!

LVGurl: PEE WEE’s BIG ADVENTURE!!!

Don’t be scared for the marathon, we’ll all be there with you.

Kathy probably REALLY needed the salt, she had a bit much of the partying two days before!

Yeah, it’s no fair that Ryan Reynolds can just prance out there and do a super-time. Someday, after I’ve done about 40 of these things, maybe I’ll be able to match his novice time! And it doesn’t matter, as long as I keep getting out and doing things like this.

Matt asked me if I was going to do a tri with you and him next. The tri scares me more than the marathon.
