Hard to escape, isn't it? When Ana came C-section (then E, then O), when Elliot got sick while in utero.<br /><br />You have a better relationship with your body than I do, though. I think you'll both survive your disappointment. I'm still working on it...don't see any marathons in our future.<br /><br />I didn't realize this was *your first marathon.* I'm really proud.

You don't even know me, BUT Holl...Hi Chrissie, <br />You don't even know me, BUT Holly put me onto your latest accomplishment (finishing your 1st marathon-congrats!) and your blog entry. Can I just say as someone that has run 19 marathons (20th in a few weeks) that your blog is absolutely HILARIOUS! I love that you wanted to beat the shit out of that woman and got annoyed by the backslap...thing is that if you are considering running again (and it sounds like you are) this becomes not a failed marathon but a wonderfully full marathon...full of great stories, that is. I have had 19 totally different experiences, finish times, emotional states associated with each of my marathon...some were super hard like the one you just did and i actually have better stories from those than the ones where i just had a great race, everything clicked, qualified for Boston, etc. i mean those races were BORING! You had an experience (good or bad or both at times) but you are a great writer that captured it perfectly. Keep your chin up, find a good Physio in NOLa, REST that hip, and come back with a new plan. Take care and good luck!

Taking it on at all is crazy. Taking it on, sustaining an injury, and deciding to knock that crazy up a few notches and show it who's boss? <br /><br />Name any bad-ass. Any.

I remember last year when I finished a triathlon, folks were like 'that's great that you finished' and I was like f-you! I didn't spend all those hours training just to FINISH! You're one hot rockin mama!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08684629728351406403noreply@blogger.com
