Soggy Marathon Report

                                             Above: Julie K, Andrea & Me. Love these girls!
                                             Teri Lynn, Sara M. & Courtney S.  Great job girls!
                                             Me & Teri Lynn pre-soaken wet.

We got a bit soaked to say the least! It was very reminiscent of my Boston Marathon 2007 experience. During this marathon I paced Teri Lynn to a Boston qualifying time. An uneventful marathon is a good thing and I have to say it was just that, pretty uneventful! Our friend Jen joined us at mile 20 not as a bandit (she was a registered participant!) but to support Teri Lynn through the most difficult part of the marathon, the last 6 miles! 

Congratulations to all the runners in the 10-miler and marathon. Great job on a soggy day. Thanks also to all the spectators. You were awesome!

I have a half marathon on October 25th that I will be attempting to PR at. Can't wait. With a marathon as my last long run, that should help!

Nicely done Darcy! It sounds like it worked out well for everyone. Congrats to Terri Lynn and BQ! It certainly was a wet day:)

You are such a great friend and supporter. Nice job out there!

I guess you never know what you'll get when you register for the Twin Cities Marathon. Of course, I still want to do it one of these days.

Good luck at the Half. It will feel like a sprint after that.
