[DesmoDiva]

Good luck.

Don't forget to have fun and enjoy the experience.

[LMT]

Good luck and have fun!

[ungeheuer]

I'm confused.  Where's the Mazda?

[Stella]

Sorry this wasn't the zoom you were expecting.   


"ZoooMazda" - our runner.

[Stella]

What the heck?  Is he still running?!

[DesmoDiva]

Maybe he's still recovering??

[ZLTFUL]

Heard he got lost and refused to stop and ask for directions...

[zooom]

sorry folks...meant to respond sooner...man...what a humbling and hard experience...the pain I experienced was not anything I had imagined....nor the emotions I experienced after I finished...especially when the Marine Corporal that hung the medal around my neck saluted me and the 2 Navy Corpsmen assisting him giving out medals both made it a point to shake my hand.

I did not finish in the time that I had hoped, but I did finish. My splits are as follows...

I accept my time despite not being happy with it....there are just things that happen that you just can't plan for... I am not sure if I'll do another, but I do know logically I can beat this time....I spent the better part of yesterday recouperating...I had a good sports massage and walked around a little bit and then promptly started drinking and eating as I found I was still feeling like I had nothing in me from the experience....so here I am at work today and I am finally catching up and giving you my .02 up front on this...I am sure there will be more as more of this sinks in.

Congrats on your accomplishment.







One was enough for me.

Which race was this?

[Stella]

That's awesome Zooom!!!   None of us (as far as I know) were out running marathons on Sunday.

We were all slacking off, watching football, going to art museums, and drinking beer
