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!]
