I've got to say it: this was the easiest marathon I've ever run!

I lucked out that it was a cold spell for Florida (I have trouble with too much sun and/or too much heat). But even with a head cold, I had less trouble "keeping it going" than ever before.

Less pain, fewer twinges, and the miles just kept passing along around me. No matter that I could not read my pace band (or my watch!) in the dark. But by dawn, I was within 15 seconds of my goal pace, anyway!

Waiting for the going to get tough - blisters, muscle ache, fatigue...the onslaught of the Florida HEAT. Nope. The going NEVER got tough. I loved every single step!

And then around Mile 20-something, I came up from BEHIND the 5:30 Pace Group, and I found I could keep up with them WHEN I WAS TAKING WALK BREAKS and they were running!!!

So I passed 'em!!! :-D

Go, Goofy!!!

Love the pictures! (Although some of them seem to be overlapping one another? At least on my screen...)

Congrats on your race!

It is nice the picture where you are running to the "wrong way"!

I like the WRONG WAY sign. I wished at Tampa that I'd had a camera to get the hoarde of marathoners running down a street marked "DEAD END."

Those are some COOL MEDALS!!! The way to run a comfortable marathon must be to run a half the day before :-)
