I scarfed down a plate of spaghetti and garlic bread, and hung out with other friends at the house including Stacy and Daniel, Sara Pilgrim, Laura Zeffer, Maria Crawford, Ed Childress, Joe Isvanoc, Vemana Sotala and Matt Heacock, then went straight to bed. We had another 2:15 AM wake up call and I was BEAT!
The next morning Stacy drove us to the bus pickup and we made our way to the start!
Jessica, Sara, Laura and I on our way to the marathon start!
Last year's temperature at the start was cold, but this year felt warm. Perfect, in fact.
We didn't have to wait too long for the race to start, so we gathered for our Maniac pic and got on our way!
Marathon Maniacs at the start!
Loyd, Sara, Lia, Jessica and I!
Laura and I
My NYC pal Jim with a photo bomb by Ed! LOL!
The great thing about running over 5:00 the day before, my legs felt great. I had no stiffness and while I went out conservatively, I felt great!
This race has some BEAUTIFUL views!
Feeling good!
I got to spend a few miles with this awesome group! I haven't seen Diane forever, to it was great to catch up!
I needed a little rest! LOL
OMG!!! DOGGIES ON THE ROOF!!
I saw Tyler at the beginning of the race running with a PBR in his hand. I had to stop when I saw him and Sarah around mile 23 walking and drinking a Coors! We chatted and they shared their beer and I went on my way! Too much fun!
Around mile 24 I caught my friend ED. This pic sums up the fun we were having!
Ed and I finished together and I finished about 15 minutes faster than the day before. Negative split double! Oh Yeah!
So great to see Andrew, Jorge, Paula and Loyd at the finish!
I saw Martina at Utah Valley the day before! She ran the double and qualified for the Marathon Maniacs! CONGRATULATIONS!
My friend Jim from the ATL and I!
Two Nashville babes! Brian and Diane!
The bling!
The double bling!
