The marathon wasn't the day I wanted. Shocking, I know. *rolleyes*
This time, though, I feel differently about the experience. I'm frustrated, rather than dejected, which is a better place to be. Legs cramped bad -- especially my left quad and my right calf. I'm blaming the day on my pacing, though I'm not sure if that necessarily would produce such cramping. Whatev. I don't want to analyze it anymore -- I just want to get out there and run another one better...
I've been swamped with school work this year. Too many kids in my classes. Ugh.
I'm also working on renovating some stuff in my house. Floors, kitchen cabinets and countertops, window treatments, and a few other things. What I really want is the contractor on Property Brothers -- an HGTV show I'm addicted to -- to come do my house. If anyone out there has contacts with HGTV, let me know what I need to do to get on one of their house renovation shows, please!
So all that, plus working at the running store and now getting ready for Christmas, means I've been busy. And time's been passing by. Nothing too exciting, nothing terrible.

Turn frustration into inspiration - you'll hit your goal next time. Good luck!
Frustration with your marathon result means you are with about 75% of the people who run marathons! It takes a perfect day for everything to come together. At least this time you were confident (and still are) that you COULD do it.
Sign up for Lansing on 4/22/11. Run with me!
Sorry the marathon didn't go as planned. Glad you are excited to do another! I'm house-projecting also. And work is getting in the way :) Happy holidays!
