I was shooting for a 2:10 time and I crossed the finish line in 2:12! It was a really good run and the weather was perfect. The only problem came around mile 11 or so when my hamstring started to act up. I stopped to stretch it, which was a mistake because when I stood up, it seized up on me.
It was a really good day and although I'm a little sore today, it was all worth it.

You were awesome yesterday! Can you believe it: YOU RAN THE WHOLE WAY! yeaaaaaa! You did it! You are fabulous.
Congratulations! I'm so very impressed at the mere idea of running a marathon.
By the way, one of my local Twitter buddies is moving to Des Moines, so if you get a chance, please say hi to @taracuda.
Thanks, Cindy. I couldn't and wouldn't want to do it without you there! You were fantastic!
Will do, Average Jane. Thanks for the heads up.
Congrats! I kept looking back to see where Caron in the QCI shirt was. I was hoping to see you cross the finish near me. You had a fantastic day and should be very proud of your achievement and running.

CONGRATS...I am so sorry that I am late....hugs...Michelle
Kent, you were a great pacer and I would sign up again. It was really helpful and I was only just behind you most of the way.
Michelle, you're so sweet!
