I need the secret to not cramping around mile 18-20. That's when it always starts for me too! Love that the ending was perfect with the song and good people to pull you into the finish.

I was seriously thinking about running the 7 Bridges, but I ended up getting pregnant, so not another marathon for me until 2013! I'm going a half Saturday. Any way, it's funny because Katy Perry's "Firework" was one of my first marathon anthems, too. I love what you said about how we are so lucky. I feel that way sometimes when I'm watching the sun come up during a long run or when I see a shooting star. We have truly been blessed to have this opportunity in our lives. Again, thanks for a great read!Count It All Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338429131178991474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5547358102347528926.post-3825094093597296332012-10-25T12:35:31.732-05:002012-10-25T12:35:31.732-05:00Congrats on a great race!

I had to laugh about those people in the room next to you! I've had that happen and it cracks me up because it's like a hotel is some people's right of passage ya know... We stayed 14 miles from the start and got a hotel for $120. I couldn't believe they gave us a 2 o'clock late check out for no extra charge! They even clapped for me when I came into the lobby!

I was anxious to see how you felt about the course and this race since I've heard such good things from people who have run the half. Glad you were able to meet 2/3 goals that you set!
