It was nice knowing that my body could do another marathon so close after the last one.  I ran the same time as last month, but felt strong. I am hoping that it all good training for growth ahead.  I am pissed off at the organizers for not having enough shuttle buses even though they insisted that we not drive ourselves to the starting line because of lack of parking.  Having us wait 45 minutes to get to a starting line and causing us to have to dash for it is inconsiderate. I know that we are all being measured on chip time, but no one wants to go through that stress on race day. Okay: end of rant.  These things happen: I guess. I am happy I did not get injured after training for two back to back marathons:)

Hopefully, I'll see some results from this training season in the Spring. Once can only hope:)

you will most definitely see the results! sorry about the fiasco with the shuttle buses -- i agree, no one should have to be stressed like that on race morning. the race itself is stressful enough. :)
