Planned off day for me, which worked out well since I travelled home from Reno this morning.
Ended up doing about 20 min on the elliptical in the evening.

Hopefully you did the planned off day and not the trip back from Reno. Reno doesn't look all that fun. Glad I don't live there.

Allie-In order to avoid the hundreds of emails I would get on your race report, I figured I would tell you congrats here. Sincerely, nice job on the race yesterday. You looked so strong and comfortable in our pack there at the beginning and even as you broke away from us. I would have never guessed that you didn't feel good at the beginning. I was in awe when I saw your time at the end. Very inspiring and congrats once again.

jeff - thanks so much for your kind words. i appreciate it. i was looking for you at the start because i really wanted to say hi. i was also looking for you in paul's group after the race had started, but at that point i was kind of distracted :) anyway, sorry i missed you yesterday. great job on the race. when the outcome is not what you had hoped for, it can be hard to swallow, i know. but there are many positives from your race that you can focus on for next time. learn from the negative aspects and move on. i was thinking about the differences between the race yesterday and the race last year. i had a terrible experience last year. everything went wrong. i was totally disappointed with the race. but the good thing about it is that i learned so much from it, and used that to my advantage in this year's race. not every race can be a flawless, wonderful, PR type race. those races are rare. i know it's discouraging when you train so hard and really feel ready to roll, and then for whatever reason the race is flat. marathons are just so unpredictable. toeing the line is always going to be a risk. but it's all part of the experience. plus, i still think you did great. you still beat 96% of the field -- awesome job.
