I'm home today and was able to watch most of the race. So happy for Des!!! I got all weepy for her! Great race in awful conditions. So inspiring!!!
A 13 second pit stop nonetheless.Also ... very entertained by Shalane's pit stop. But when nature calls ...
If you like iced coffee (I know not everyone does), you should try cold brew. Its significantly less acidic ... I think it's because there's no hot water involved, and the hot water is what brings out the acid in the coffee beans.
QOTD: If you were to get free entry into a World Marathon Major race of your choice (including airfare and hotel), which one would you choose? Is this a race you've run before or one you'd be running for the first time?
Bonus QOTD (continuing with our beverage theme): Coffee. Let's talk coffee. Do you drink it? How much? How often? What's your favorite coffee?
Seconded. The Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew from Starbucks is deeeeelish. So smooth!If you like iced coffee (I know not everyone does), you should try cold brew. Its significantly less acidic ...

Tokyo...unless doing Boston meant I've successfully BQ'd. I've done NY twice and loved it both times, but I here Toyko is great, and DisneySea is probably my favorite Disney park so that would give it the edge in my book.QOTD: If you were to get free entry into a World Marathon Major race of your choice (including airfare and hotel), which one would you choose?

Women's top 10: 7 Americans, 1 Canadian, 1 Kenyan, 1 Japanese. Americans/Canadians definitely had an advantage with the conditions! This is why you run in crappy conditions, you just never know what race day will bring...
On the local broadcast they were just talking about how the people who were larger and had more body fat were the ones able to make it through the conditions better.Women's top 10: 7 Americans, 1 Canadian, 1 Kenyan, 1 Japanese.

Yeah, that's been my strategy all along and I didn't even know it!On the local broadcast they were just talking about how the people who were larger and had more body fat were the ones able to make it through the conditions better.
That's what I'm in training for. I'm getting my bad weather Boston Marathon insulation primed.

Galen Rupp did not finish...
I know he was a favorite but have not been a fan of his.
