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!!!

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 :-)
