You look really happy in the photo. That's great.
Re: Carm's First Marathon RR at Ottawa Race Weekend (photo a
Great picture. Well done getting your first marathon under your belt. Now you can enjoy the rest of the summer doing some other events with the fitness level you have built up over the last few months.
By the way, you beat my Boston marathon time - I am going to have to do something about that!

You are a MARATHONER Carmen!
Congrats and welcome to the club. Your race almost mirrored my first marathon and our times are very similar! Great race report and way to stick it out when it got tough for you. Now rest up and savour this moment.

Ha ha, thanks. Marathon Photos got their pics up fairly quickly and thanks to some great Zoomphoto photogs who worked for them, we have good race photos this year. I'll buy the digital package for sure.
This photo was taken by a friend at 9.5K, hence why I still look like a million bucks.

I would really like to do Victoria since I could combine it with a trip to Van to visit my family. It's marathon day +1 and I feel decent and want to do another, so that's a good sign, right? I'm thinking Fall 2013.
I'm doing a sprint at Musselman in the Finger Lakes region of NY and then maybe another local one. I have some swim fitness, no bike fitness and good run fitness right now, so I'll stick to the shorter races.

Re: Carm's First Marathon RR at Ottawa Race Weekend (photo a
So fantastic! What a super time even though you saaaaaaaay you felt bad. Your result does not show it! I see many more marathons in your future, my friend!! You are amazing!!!!

We're going to try this new thing called jogging. Or maybe it's yogging-with a silent "j". Apparently you just run for an extended period of time. It's supposed to be wild.

You're a marathoner! You did great!!
I'm glad you loved the sign Glitter makes all signs better... and we learned that way too many runners go commando
Congratulations on your first marathon!!

Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of your chance to be extraordinary.

Thanks Smiles! Yes, glitter is the best and your signs were hilarious! When the freezies run out or did I completely bypass a freezie without knowing it.

Re: Carm's First Marathon RR at Ottawa Race Weekend (photo a
I didn't get a freezie either
I was so focused on the sign, I was pretty much past the group before I realized it was Miss*Smiles with the sign. Next time!!!!

I found THE SONG and it's a bit pop-py but the chorus was going when I rounded the corner to the finish chute. It got me so jacked up that I almost put my left quad into a spasm.

I saw empty freezie packages along the race course. I was so sad but it probably wouldn't have been a good idea.

Our freezies were handed out in a flash - I can't believe how many runners told me they loved me

Re: Carm's First Marathon RR at Ottawa Race Weekend (photo a
I'm in your photo!!!
That's at the OTC station, right? You really worked them up into a frenzy. It took me a minute to realize that it was the OTC group...I initially thought you were doing that at all the stations

Cool!!! Yes, that was the OTC station. They didn't see me until I was literally right in front of them. They thought that all the Team MitoCanada shirts had white in them but mine was all black so that confused everyone.
