I will post more likely tonight, with the blow-by-blow, you-wish-you-hadn’t-asked story.

But, the short story, as I take elevators today, is that the marathon went incredibly smoothly for me.  I ran a very predictable time, on the spot of what I wrote last night in my blog, of 3:20.  It was not un-painful, but not torturous.  I now know what an “east wind” means.  It was a pretty brutal headwind.  I finished #483 in women’s (#100 had a 3:05).   I saw tons of friends along the way, and Nurit twice.  Seeing the people helped me out at important points.  I also ran with a fellow charity runner from my team for 17 miles of the marathon.  And, I managed to bike home from it!

A great, but windy day, and one I won’t soon forget!  I’ll write more soon… photos, videos and all.
