So proud of you, especially considering two years at this time you were in the midst of your RA injury and not sure if you'd ever run again and not only did you run a marathon this weekend but you PR'ed it!!! Whooo! <br /><br />Also that sign is AWESOME. Lol! I love it. <br /><br />It's kind of nice you have such a busy October ahead of you now as it will really force you to relax on the workouts and just enjoy all the traveling and fun you have coming up and let your body recover from the triathlon and marathon training. You definitely deserve a break!

I can't even imagine running hills that late in the race AND with a blister, those KILL when running- I can only imagine doing miles and miles! <br />I've said it before and I'll say it again, you seriously are amazing. I'm so proud of you for not just running again, but running a marathon.

Then to hear the cheering crowd? What a thrill!<br /><br />I am incredibly proud of you, Lisa. Not just for doing this today and making it but for the work that went into it -- particularly considering where you were a year or two ago with the RA. That took courage, guts, fortitude, practice and a drive that is remarkable.

That's the ultimate source of the dead legs in the hilly parts. <br /><br />I'm still super stoked for Megan that she broke 4 in her first marathon. When the newbies do the work and see the payoff they end up getting hooked. <br /><br />and it was pretty tough to let you guys go in mile 21. Not as tough as standing up from a seated position is today, but ya, tough.Carolina Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834384961037080805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-89981462820013455262015-10-05T10:37:16.410-05:002015-10-05T10:37:16.410-05:00Now I understand why I was praying so much once I ...Now I understand why I was praying so much once I got the message about mile 24. I know how much I struggle towards the end of a long run, I started praying you wouldn't hit a wall. Then I was just praying about whatever popped into my head that you might face.

However, I was excited to see your time when I finally did see it! That is really great. <br /><br />Looking at the pace of your first mile compared to the others, it must have been pretty crowded at the beginning... I always have a hard time finding my stride when I have to do the people dodge dance at the start!<br /><br />My last marathon was Boston and I came of it so sore and tired, more so than any longer ultra, that is for sure! It's hard on your body and it's a lot of time to invest in training, but you really did an impressive job!

I like the sign your friends made you too. ;) Great job! 4:02 is a fast marathon and no doubt painful. At this point I find myself wondering if I ever want to run another marathon again. It's just so much time and work for a lot of pain on race day.Lauren @ Sassy Molassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386991766331711286noreply@blogger.com
