I definitely agree with taking a break, but during recovery week take some nice walks with your supportive wifey. It will speed the recovery along.Chris and Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18433880543279767835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973820038386024423.post-2439820501669994092010-03-23T13:14:34.744-04:002010-03-23T13:14:34.744-04:00Nice job.

Regardless, it is quite inspirational. <br /><br />I find it interesting that you hit your wall near mile 17. That's precisely where my splits broke down as well. I don't know what it was but that part was definitely the beginning of the end of the "good part" :). <br /><br />Congrats on finishing.ColdForgedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13990095885861858296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973820038386024423.post-74856926342957582522010-03-22T22:21:31.485-04:002010-03-22T22:21:31.485-04:00Awesome job, FGR!

I knew that you'd do just fine, and I'm sure you'll see your marathon times drop in the near future. It's quite an accomplishment --- and an inspiration, too! I'm thinking I might just give the 'ol 26.2 a try next year! Again, congrats. Enjoy your hard-earned rest this week.Erin Conleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12560914834163706133noreply@blogger.com
