No beating around the bush this time — I’m gonna tell it to you straight.\u00a0 I BQ’d at Royal Victoria with a time of 4:00:26 (33 seconds to spare — HUZZAH!)\u00a0 I believe I ran the perfect race, although that’s not to say it was easy.\u00a0 It truly tested my marathon mettle.\u00a0 Everything they say about the marathon — that the race doesn’t start until Mile 20 (or that the halfway mark is REALLY at Mile 20), that it becomes a mental game at the end — was true for me.\u00a0 There was no surging across the finish line yelling “I’m going to Boston!” like there was at the Tunnel Marathon.\u00a0 It was more of a lurch with a look that said “Please someone grab me before I pass out.”\u00a0 Hubby, alas, didn’t BQ, but we didn’t think he would given the horrible chest cold he’s been battling.<\/p>\n
Anyhoo, I’ll be posting a full race report soon.\u00a0 (I would have posted earlier but WordPress wouldn’t accept my password on my iPhone).<\/p>\n
