pedro wrote:Congrats Hal! Great effort. It sounds like you perserved and made it through a tough run. It isn't always easy, but as you found out, it's pretty damn rewarding. I am very happy for you. I have two more pieces of advice for you.
1) Buy yourself a 26.2 sticker and slap it on your car. You earned it.
2) Wear your medal all day today. You earned that too.
Go Sox (and Pats!)

This weekend is the Army 10 Miler. I am running that. Next weekend is the Marine Corp Marathon. I will run down there and cheer.
EDIT: There is a 10K on the same course as the marathon next week.

NotBaker wrote:I've been getting in 4-mile runs a couple times a week. I'm trying to maintain at least a decent base. I'd like to maybe sneak in some longer runs, but I've been busy. And I will admit this -- even having done a marathon, two halfs, and a handful of other races, I still don't feel like I'd consider myself a "runner." I know I've earned it, but it still feels weird to think of myself as a "runner." Not sure why.

NotBaker wrote:pedro - you won't need to worry about the time change, but - IMPORTANT - how are you on the AM/PM alarm clock setting situation? And does it have a separate control for alarm volume vs. radio volume? I'm glad my marathon is behind me, but the anticipation during the week before the race was an interesting feeling. GO GO GO! Do you have any post-marathon plans -- i.e., have you decided between Famous/Original Rays vs. Sbarro?
