I finished the marathon in 5:35!  I won't lie, it was rough.  It took pain killers and Ian jumping in at mile 16.5 to get me to the finish line.  It was really hot- 70 degrees (I have the sunburn to prove it)!

Frequently asked questions (New ones!):

Q.  What is your longest run so far?

A:  I ran 18 miles through Cambridge, Arlington, Lexington, and Bedford about three weeks ago.  I even ran past a manure farm!

Q:  What's the worst weather you've run in?

A:  I ran in a snowstorm on Friday, February 22nd.  It was 23 degrees but the windchill was 15!  That's the coldest I've ever run in.

Q:  How are you keeping your body injury free?

A:  Lots of yoga, stretching, and massages.  I even cross train one day a week.  Plus I'm sleeping at least 9 hours a night and eating right (lots of whole wheat carbs and fruit and protein, in addition to jelly beans, tofuitti cuties, and oatmeal cookies)

Q:  What gets you through the long runs?

A: I've discovered red sport jelly beans (made by Jelly Belly).  They keep my hunger in check and help me keep going (along with the Gatorade I carry in my fuel belt).  Plus I have a pretty sweet mix on my ipod that motivates me.
