I normally can't remember much, but this race was the most memorable I've been in so far. David, I read your post about signing up just before I wrote this. Even though I swore to my wife that I wouldn't run another marathon for a few years, I actually considered signing up for next year after reading that. Training for 26.2 takes up so much time, I think I'll probably stick with the half next year. Thanks Bob! I normally can’t remember much, but this race was the most memorable I’ve been in so far.

I was so bummed about not doing any of the races yesterday that I signed up for the 2010 marathon. Congratulations!! The emotions of crossing that finish line are unbelievable.

Congrats on finishing strong in you first marathon. I'm amazed at people like you who remember every segment of the race. When I race and try to recall things like that, I think, "Hmmm, xx street -- yeah, that was hard." Like you, I don't like the long, straight stretches. Give me turns and some up-and-down (not much, but just enough to keep things interesting). Good run Greg. Congrats on finishing strong in you first marathon.
