The 2010 Stats

Because I could be grateful all I want... Folks wanna know NUMBERS.

SO!

I finished at 4:58:58.
I was aiming 5hrs, hoping that I'd come in somewhere btw 430 and 5. So i'm pleased with that. And considering I was running on a leg that had been troublesome for weeks, no complaints on my end.

Just in case you didnt know what that meant - I OFFICIALLY BEAT Jared from Subway, Edison the Chilean Miner and AL ROKER's Times. BOO-YAH. 

Here's some more interesting info....

 

This is what finishing looks like. Thanks Team ;) 

And that wraps up 2010...

I have to say- I was in shock awe (and a helluva lot of pain) all day yesterday and Sunday...

But today I can scream it out:

I RAN the FKN NY MARATHON!!!

And finished!

On a bum leg! (Damn u calf muscle knot!)

Lol - boy, am I paying for that one.

My muscles have been seizing up for the past two days so I've been doing a lot of soaking and stretching, mini massaging (it all hurts), elevating, icing, etc. And I don't take drugs much but painkillers are our friends...

Anyway. I did it. I'm grateful. Feeling accomplished. Looking forward to the next, the new year.

I'm grateful for all the support shown- from my coaches, teammates who physically helped me get across the finish, to my folks that cheered me on and helped keep my energy up, to every single person who donated to even get me IN to the Marathon and support these wonderful kids...

THANK.YOU.

I couldn't have done it without you. So while I get to rock the medal, I know that I wouldn't have made it without yall.

Yup!

Now, post marathon massage!?? I'd like to walk again soon. They're starting to call me Gimp in the streets. Haha!
