I ran my second marathon last weekend--the Waddell and Reed in Kansas City. Awesome weather. Some hills. Improved my time. All in all a good race, but still feel like I have a better one in me. Not sure why, but hadn't been "feeling it" for the couple of weeks leading up to the race. My legs were really stiff and heavy the second half--not something I was expecting since I had run so many long runs and not felt that way. (Maybe if they offered Diet Pepsi at the aide stations instead of bananas--gross) It was fun to run through so many areas of Kansas City--I could have made a few detours through some shops along the way :)
Graham went to Lebo and the rest of us enjoyed hanging out with Quint (and Sharla for a while), a little shopping, KSU game, eating out. I've done nothing this week but walk Newman around Cico. Not quite the 50 miles I put in during several different weeks of training. Out of curiosity I added up my training miles... 676! Surely that justifies another pair of shoes??

You did awesome! I can't believe you've ran that many miles. . .
