I'm definitely keeping the picture :) Just can't believe the 9,999 ugly ones it took to get that one, hah! <br /><br />I bet you also didn't struggle with worrying about missing those three turns in Boston, either! I think i have now officially lived out all my "pre-race nightmares," finally "getting lost" has been checked off. --Alexrunner-grrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725123764353127568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576561370990105347.post-16165608733040090752011-04-26T11:20:19.927-07:002011-04-26T11:20:19.927-07:00Alex,

Love that feeling.<br /><br />37 turns for a 1/2 marathon, that's nuts? Boston only has 3 turns, plus Cleveland Circle.<br /><br />Take care, and stay healthy.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284287983998160583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576561370990105347.post-42302176680905850592011-04-24T07:36:51.362-07:002011-04-24T07:36:51.362-07:00Lorraine, Thanks :) It was definitely a battle.

I've decided it was all worth it for the picture--they always seem to get me at the most awkward point possible in my stride... or, my stride is really that awkward all the time, not sure which ;) For once, my stride looks nice! Which is actually funny, this photo was very late in the race, and I was feeling so dead, I thought I was only slightly above walking when they took this. <br /><br />Of course you may link to my story, and now I'll have to go back and re-read it. Looking forward to YOUR inspiring BQ story here in the not-too-distant future :) --Alexrunner-grrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725123764353127568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576561370990105347.post-67284105566681502582011-04-23T13:36:15.439-07:002011-04-23T13:36:15.439-07:00Still an awesome time and an awesome picture.

Heat and humidity are the only worse conditions.<br /><br />I wanted to ask you....do you mind if I link to your BQ story from the "Inspiring BQ Stories" page on my blog? I actually already did, but in retrospect I should've asked. Let me know if it's as problem and I can take it down. Yours is still my favorite story.Terzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617301871875902162noreply@blogger.com
