I simply could not be more happy with the results than I am--especially considering the debacle that Des News turned out to be on Monday.  I honestly didn't think I had it in me.  Surprise-surprise!

Way to go bro maynard...you followed up the DNM with a 1/2 just days apart. I think it's time you took a shot at a BQ for 2012????????

From Steve Piccolo on Sat, Jul 30, 2011 at 14:35:13 from 67.2.46.110

Great job! Always great to be happy with your race!

I am really impressed with that after you just ran a brutal marathon. Good thing you did not have a headache again. ;o) And to think, I wanted to be able to use the excuse that I ran the 10k on Monday.

Good to see you again!

From Andy on Sat, Jul 30, 2011 at 16:37:21 from 174.52.172.236

Great job, Brad. Glad you had such a good race.

From DaleG on Sun, Jul 31, 2011 at 01:39:39 from 71.199.57.238

Awesome job, B.A. Brad!!! Impressive run not even a week after Des News. I'm already signed up for next years Sogonapmit Marathon. Perhaps you'll try that one next year?

From allie on Sun, Jul 31, 2011 at 12:36:41 from 24.10.191.18

so glad you had a great race! nice job.

Way to go, Maynard! That has got to be a PR for you (at least for the past couple years). Well done! And you should feel good! Welcome back sub-8:00s!!!

From Maynard on Sun, Jul 31, 2011 at 16:42:31 from 148.66.100.194

Thanks everyone! It was one of those races where everything came together except one. I was 30 seconds short of a PR thanks to a porta-potty stop at mile 11. But that's the way it goes, right? And I am in no way angry or disappointed about it either. I am at peace with myself and the world around me--my Zen training has come through finally.

NAMASTE ;o)

From Kathie on Mon, Aug 01, 2011 at 20:19:24 from 97.126.210.248

Nice!!! Maybe you should run a Marathon before every half?!?!

From Smooth on Tue, Aug 02, 2011 at 23:37:27 from 67.2.116.101

YAY!!! 1:44!!! WOW!!! Sub-8!!! I could only dreamed of running that fast! :). CONGRATZ!!!

You are awesome!!! SO HAPPY to see you on Sat! I knew there was a reason you looked so radiant and happy even after I spilled smoothie on you! OH and THANKS for the hugs at your start, my turnaround and our finish!

kathie has a point there!

How about doing the Goofy challenge? Wait, do they do the half first? Anyhoo, you ROCK!!! And yes, you have it in you, no surprise, just awesomeness oozing out! :)
