I'm sorry you did have one, but it sounds like you still had a good finish, and the fact that you qualified puts you in a class that alot of us can only dream of! I'm doing my first full marathon this fall, and it was great to read about someone else's experience, and how you got yourself through it! Good job!Carynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01823828155164599493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32201120.post-82764924216490608142011-04-22T10:52:03.744-04:002011-04-22T10:52:03.744-04:00Wish I could blame it on the number . . . but that...Wish I could blame it on the number . . . but that wan't it!!Frank Lilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973044642640967617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32201120.post-2396369304186863252011-04-21T21:48:25.536-04:002011-04-21T21:48:25.536-04:00thanks for the support Laura, Shannon and Frank.

And you were there at the 'big dance!'<br /><br />By the way . . . what was your race number?

To this day, I still don't know what was wrong. It was awful. AWFUL, and I can totally relate to what you wrote about. But you should be proud of your determination, and the fact that you stuck it out and finished! That is really something inspiring!(Mary) Shannon Johnstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134888944718429616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32201120.post-40281325875374353962011-04-21T17:41:50.992-04:002011-04-21T17:41:50.992-04:00This happens to us all.

But at least you realized and accepted it early and tried to make the best of it. Still such an amazing experience!!
