[...] the snow and ‘cold’ temps. For me, cold is 40 degrees. So that’s why when I ran CIM in December in Sacramento and the starting line degrees of 27 near killed me. Call me a pansy baby [...]

Danica – I’m busy trying to catch up on my reading….

This is a classic post about an epic effort. I hope my kids read this to learn a little about perserverance. You had just about every obstacle imaginable thrown at you and you still had a reasonable finish time. Congratulations!

Now it’s time to rest and recover. More than one week’s worth….

I’m so proud of you for finishing. Not sure I would’ve been able to go on if throw up was involved!

I had this same exact feeling during my own GI issues during the Marine Corps Marathon: “I realized when I got sick at the halfway point that I wouldn’t be able to hold onto the pace I was running, and I got upset at myself. I wanted to do well in this race and thought I had it in me. I cried a little bit … ” It seems to be the true victory is acknowledging that moment of shame and disappointment, then moving on toward the finish line, anyway. Congrats on a gutsy finish!

I think you should be so proud of yourself! Not only did you finish the race, you overcame major obstacles to do so and showed what a fighter you are! The stomach issues must have been awful and being cold is NO FUN – although I had to laugh about your “frozen chicken legs” comment. Great job!

Even with all those “breaks” you still kicked my butt!!

It’s always a pleasure running with you (makes me feel like one of the cool kids) and I can’t wait until our next event.

Now, if I could just be a little bit more photogenic as so not to look like such a dork – lol

Can we just agree that you’re the Homecoming Queen of the running world? You & your “buns” are too cute.

Oh, and you’re totally my hero. I cannot believe you finished the race after getting sick, repeatedly!
