For me, also, that was the farthest I've ever had to walk after finishing a marathon. It was a long walk just to get the medal. I kept looking at others to see if they had medals and I had missed them! I just wanted to sit down so badly. I sat on a curb but was immediately told to move on or I'd have to go to the medical Lorendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665587604100291037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-66837626250125078572013-10-16T07:49:23.138-04:002013-10-16T07:49:23.138-04:00AWESOME JOB!!!!

Unfortunately, I forgot my pace band and it threw me. Once I accepted I wouldn't get my ambitious goal, I settled back in the last six miles. Those six kicked my butt!
