    Congrats, Colby!!!
    Excellent race report- I loved reading all about what you did up to the race, and then all about the race itself! Sorry you had such cold conditions, but you really did a fantastic job. After all, now you have a PR to beat for next time (and yes, there WILL be a next time).
    Congrats again- such an accomplishment!

    Congratulations on a job well done Colby!

    I am somewhat surprised they didn't cancel with the snow forcast. It started snowing hard here in NE Seattle at 4:30 pm. I had to cancel a dinner invite.

    Hope you made (or make) it home safely. I hear we're in for some more fluff tonight. (edit: in fact it is happening now).

    WOW! What a great race report. You have a real talent for writing!

    That run sounds brutal. You are braver than I would be. In weather like that, I would have stayed in the hotel relaxing.

    You did a great job! Thanks for sharing all the details!

    Hi Colby,

    Congrats! It sounds like a tough day to have raced in, but it sounds like you did great! I am not a marathoner, but my sister runs a couple a year and has told me it's supposed to be 1 day off per mile run after a race. So, don't get too eager to run too soon and hurt yourself!

    She of course ran the 5k with me in Vancouver two weeks ago which I am not quite sure was a month from the Chi marathon... but she is an advanced runner so I assume she knows what she was doing. [she even took 5th in our age group, go sis! maybe someday I can be like her!]
