I am very happy with my time, considering I only trained for 6 weeks. I really kicked it hard for the last 8 miles of the race. It was way more fun than the full marathon. We had a great weekend!!!

Mike bonked early in the race, so he didn't finish as planned. Saturday he told me was never running another marathon again, but then on Sunday he recanted and vowed to try again for Boston at Twin Cities in October. Back on the horse again.
Congrats on #4!

Joe did a great job with his first marathon!!! I was surprised at how painless it was for him! It's nice to welcome him to the club. We can't wait for him to join us again next year!

And as always, Matt said he's going to run the full again next year. (We always get the spectators)
