A few more race thoughts: 1. On the way home from Ogden, my hands started to swell. My knuckles weren't individual humps...just one long mass across my hand. Weird, I've never had anything like that happen before. It's gone now. 2. I chaffed HORRIBLY! I have some very large, bleeding sores on my inner thighs and under my sports bra. Yikes....those puppies hurt! 3. I was amazed at the volunteers. They stood out in the rain for HOURS helping us runners. They didn't get a medal or an emotional high from running a marathon. I so appreciate those people who called out my name. 4. I am unbelievably sore after this race. Whereas after the SL marathon, I felt great by Monday morning. I'm still struggling up/down stairs. My right foot (on the outside) hurts....I've never had a problem there. This race beat me up and spit me out. It is going to be awhile before I think about running again. I'm such a whiner today!
