Thank you! Your vanity all goes out the window when you do a marathon, so it's a great boost to hear someone thinks I didn't look half bad. Thank you!

Running and vanity don't go hand in hand, so I understand. I totally checked to see if that was a photo from the start or finish. You have great form at the end and you don't look road gross! Totally impressive!

(and I'm not at all dismissing the great job RUNNING you did!!)

Thank you! I'm so thankful for everyone who put up with my "freaking out" post and encouraged me to keep it together. You guys truly kept me sane. My shin caused me to be a little slower than I would have liked, but I kept telling myself it wasn't about time or me against them. It was my own race against pain and I'm happy to report....I WON!! Great experience! Thanks again for all your support and kindness.
