13.1 miles later I am still alive! I don't want to give everything about the race away before my presentation but I will share some highlights:
-the cheer when the marathon and half marathon started
-the fans who lined the streets giving their support almost the whole way, including little kids who acted like you made their day when you returned their high fives
-seeing Canada during my porta potty stop
-running with Ms. G for the first few miles
-watching a man dodge off course to take a leak right next to a downtown building
-the amount of support runners provided for each other
-the photographers cheering as they took your pictures
-chucking the water cups
-the perfect weather
...and so much else!
I will jot down more thoughts so I can remember them well enough by the time my presentation rolls around.
Overall, it was a lot of fun and I am so glad I did it! I feel very accomplished and proud, despite my sore feet that are currently taking a rest.
