ING Georgia Marathon: a personal record.

Holy crap.

I beat my NYC time by almost two minutes... although this was way harder, with 80-degree, sunny weather with reaallllly long hills.

I came in at 3:43:47. Yowza.

I just changed my flight so that I can go home tonight. This was fun, but there's no reason for me to be here, and I miss my family.

Love to all. Even you, the Decatur group that put up the most depressing "inspirational signs" I have ever, ever, seen.

Congratulations!

(But now, the curiosity of finding out what the Decatur signs said is going to bug me all afternoon.)

Not bad for having had strep throat 4 days ago. Rock on.

Wow!! That is an awesome time!! You smoked it! Sorry the Decatur folks bummed you out, they're usually a lovely group of people.

Have a good trip home =)

Hey, hey, hey, that is a terrific time! Thought about you this morning while I was at church and couldn't wait to get back to the computer to find out how it all went. Glad you did well and are pleased. Hope you had a safe trip home.

I was wondering how the pollen count of 2582 affected you.

And, having lived in Decatur, I, too, am very curious about their signs. You must share.

Congrats on the time. Good on you!

...And tell other runners about the photos. I want people to find themselves and keep the pictures!
