I went on Friday.<br /><br />Not being sick.<br /><br />Better nutrition.<br /><br />Not going out too fast. <br /><br />Not using the electrolyte on the course, but the stuff I had with me.<br /><br />The time I put in at sports rehab. Can you say squat? I squat 'til I can't squat no more. I think it helped.<br /><br />Training with the track club.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03163803961338323135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12534874.post-19897778060337625272009-06-05T16:20:02.652-07:002009-06-05T16:20:02.652-07:00Great race report, Irene.

I'm still debating on joining everyone for the Iron Girl even this weekend. <br /><br />Renee,<br />Thanks so much for your support!<br /><br />Penny,<br />Gotta love technology! My dad knew about my finish time before I did! Thanks for the text that morning!<br /><br />IRFF,<br />Thanks so much! It was a really good day!<br /><br />Sara,<br />I kept an eye out for you, but there were just SOOOOOO many people! Hey, congrats to you, too!<br /><br />Flo,<br />You're right, something about the beat of that song works! It's not all that cheesy, but when I tell someone I ran in the marathon to a Britney Spears song they look at me funny. I swear, it works! <br /><br />Michelle,<br />I finally get to have a marathon post! It feels good to be back at it! I still don't know if this will be my last marathon, but we'll see how life rolls. Thanks so much for your support!<br /><br />Pat,<br />Thanks. This is the first marathon that I've run the entire way. It feels good to say that. <br /><br />Rachel,<br />I loved "Hold On Tight." It was a pretty good mental boost!<br /><br />Joyce,<br />Thanks!!!!!!!! You've been very supportive over at PDB, too. I appreciate it!<br /><br />Mel,<br />I was surprised, to say the least. I'm glad I never hit that wall! Thanks!<br /><br />Anne,<br />Thanks so much for being so very supportive of me this past year. You were the first person to understand what I was going through. May 31, 2009 was a good day!<br /><br />Juls,<br />It's the first time everyone was at the marathon. It is such a mental boost to see your family cheering on the sidelines. <br /><br />Barbie2be,<br />Dude, Thanks! ;)Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03163803961338323135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12534874.post-34563098752360866952009-06-01T18:39:11.611-07:002009-06-01T18:39:11.611-07:00dude, you're a stud!!!dude, you're a stud!!!barbie2behttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572224850124869618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12534874.post-63062170467595980652009-06-01T15:36:12.191-07:002009-06-01T15:36:12.191-07:00It all sounds like it worked out wonderfully.
