OK so my comment is way delayed since you ran this in 09 and I’m just seeing it now after following from your post. But WOW, sounds like such an amazing run for you. Seriously, this report makes me want to muscle through my shin splints and keep running because THIS is what it’s all about. Thank you for sharing. :)

Danica – sorry about getting to the party so late – but I wanted to save your race reports until I had time to o them justice.

What a GREAT race! I am soooo happy for you. I know had *great* time on the streets of LB. If I had close to your success I would be ecstatic!

This splits are awesome too! I can’t believe how consistent you were. What really floors me is being able to hold those splits for 26 plus miles!

By the way – Claude and my Garmin measured exactly the same distance. Did you run into the problem atmile 7? I almost freaked when I saw the mile 7 marker and Garmin said 7.35! Ugh!

Great job and great race!

By the way – the shorts are great for us old pervs that have to run at the back of the pack all of the time….

I know I’m like the 88th person to write it BUT many huge congratulations anyway, Danica! It was so awesome to meet you and even more amazing to see you running with that incredible smile and hysterical jazz-hands. You are an inspiration to all who race because your day is exactly what race day is supposed to be about-enjoying yourself and having fun. I will definitely be thinking of you and your attitude at my races. Thanks for sharing and congrats again!

YAY!!!!! Congrats! I’ve had the experience of one of those FUN marathons, too… (although, mine were much slower, haha) and there is seriously nothing like it in the world.

I’m so happy for you and your kick ass marathon!
