oh my gosh YAY!!!!!
You liked it? I think it's a wonderful distance and is a perfect mix of not going fast and then pushing it when you want to.
That is so fantastic. I had been wondering how your race went. I'm also a wee bit jealous of Disney
What're you doing for your recovery and when are you building back into training? Are you running for TNT at Disney?
I have to say I have a great respect for TNT after the marathon I did. They were so supportive of each other and no matter how far apart they were, they'd yell out encouragement to other TNT people. While I ran on my own and didn't know anybody else there, I felt they were a highly approachable and friendly group.

Congratulations, and you look amazing! I would love to achieve even a half-mary one day, so I am in awe. HUGE kudos to you for training and following through, and for finishing so well. I've heard of first-timers who only manage 6 hours, so I think you did great!
