Seriously? I don't even know you. You made me cry and now I have to go look up your name. Should have known one of Falon's friends would do this to me. The good news is, I spend more time in Port-O-Lets than I do on the course, so let me tell you- not pooping is a victory. Not pooping in under 3 minutes is a miracle.<br /><br />Awesome recap. I am now leaning in the direction of the marathon. But I am still on a fence with pointy things up my bum.pensive pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228801550471279348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532504507416917239.post-70406426004784956482012-09-27T09:34:00.378-05:002012-09-27T09:34:00.378-05:00Currently crying.

I can't imagine passing a landmark like that hospital in the late miles of a marathon- it's freaking hard to cry and run at the same time! I'm stoked you hit your time goal- and with plenty of time to spare, really. Sorry about the poop. It happens to the best of us.Amyleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08945241087577128023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532504507416917239.post-82985435929128011952012-09-26T14:22:58.229-05:002012-09-26T14:22:58.229-05:00Kim!

I sort of wanted better than that and didn't think I'd be so off my Oshkosh time. On to the next right?

So many emotions, and you captured it all beautifully.<br /><br />I hope a couple days out you are no longer disappointed with any part of your day. YOU RAN AN AMAZING RACE! Those are splits I DREAM of maintaining.
