I saw a couple marathoners nearly wipe out just in the change from asphalt to SAND. <br /><br />I'm sorry about the choice of shoes, but we all learn from our mistakes. And even with that, overall you are finishing with a marathon time WAY FASTER than I could ever hope for!LAPThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857776340756713109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-19915079127226859782010-10-24T21:35:17.019-06:002010-10-24T21:35:17.019-06:00I came to say thanks for a post you wrote awhile a...I came to say thanks for a post you wrote awhile ago about what not to say when something terrible happens to someone. It helped me recently to not say some dumb things to my sister this month, so thanks. <br /><br />I guess Boston sold out in 8 hours. One of my friends got in, and no one else of all our other running friends got in because of the crazy rush. I am amazed at you and my friend Liz, who also ran marathons this year after giving birth this summer. Crazy awesome.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12809081257616119677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-86257378750588797722010-10-23T10:39:02.898-06:002010-10-23T10:39:02.898-06:00Awwwwwwwwww.

I think we've all said to ourselves "oh, I don't have to poop that bad, I can make it home" or "new GU/Gels at the expo! I'll take 4 samples please!".<br /><br />Lock down your strategy next time and get the BQ. Then, take the day off so that you can ACTUALLY get into the race whenever Boston registration opens next year! :)The Boring Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13073380265420100975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-4982496430652436772010-10-22T13:02:37.217-06:002010-10-22T13:02:37.217-06:00I can relate on the small end.

My RN friend who works in the OR warned me to not wear them! I called my SIL who works for my foot Dr he said after 3 months your feet will be shot. So I'm no longer running in them and I LOVED them.

I think you should just pretend like the 2nd half of the marathon was a cool down & you probably ran a PR on the half :)<br /><br />I'd love to hear more about your shoes. I just bought a pair of 5 toes & I will start out VERY slowly training in them after my next marathon. <br /><br />Good luck- you are totally rocking it and amazing that you can pack so much stuff into every day!Amanda @ Click.

Do you know what would cause me to run a marathon? NOTHING not even zombies chasing me could make me run that far so you are my HERO. You are an amazing mom, and wife and sister and friend. <br /><br />I think your plan of working on things throughout the winter (where I won't be caught dead exercising outside) is amazing. I'll be hiding in my basement doing 30 min on my elliptical machine and wishing for death somedays. <br /><br />Did I mention you are my hero?Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08372114300975739690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-33998271174323076102010-10-19T12:57:03.658-06:002010-10-19T12:57:03.658-06:00Um Amy, You may want to rephrase your previous pos...Um Amy, You may want to rephrase your previous post, "when it comes to mothering I operate in the extremes." It should read "I operate in the extremes and when the extreme things I sign up for are not extreme enough I make them more extreme."<br /><br />I am proud of you for training so well and for taking off those shoes - maybe just should have done it sooner. Keep up with the "barefoot" idea but slow down a bit and do it right - you will be a much stronger blah blah blah...Catherine M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09020897150872708313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-65326069998364943602010-10-19T10:15:21.455-06:002010-10-19T10:15:21.455-06:00I feel your pain Amy.

My last marathon I was pushing for a 3:30 finish, but went out too fast and crashed by mile 16 to stumble in at 4:30...best thing to do is rebuild and move forward. I keep reminding myself that at least there is one reward for me getting older...my BQ time keeps getting closer to my finish times.Blainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337913466790570025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-47608565320701631722010-10-18T22:02:27.525-06:002010-10-18T22:02:27.525-06:00Two marathons in two months is amazing.

I like the sound of those shoes though - when I started running it was hard for me to transition into running shoes because I was so used to moving on front part of my feet (because of dancing).

When you posted your splits on FB last night and referred to your "death march" I was worried that you were injured.<br /><br />I'd have been darn tempted to register for that other marathon, too, but your friend Seth made some very valid points. He sounds like a pretty fart smeller! (That translates to pretty smart feller for you non-Southerners.)<br /><br />You took one on the chin this time.
