I always get uneasy on trails too. I always carry pepper spray with me if I know I’m going on one :<

From one injured runner to another: i really sincerely 100% hope you feel better soon! This sucks!

I hope your ankle keeps getting better too, hopefully we'll both be back for some strong spring/summer racing!

Sorry to hear that you aren't going to be able to run your race. I think you're definitely doing the right thing though. Better to wait and race healthy than to run injured and risk further injury. I hope you get healthy soon!

How are they confirming that people ran what they said they did? It’s possibly correct if they’re an ultramarathon runner, but that’s over 40 miles/day! And the third person has run over 10 times each day? And still a marathon+ per day? Smells fishy.

First dude ran 314 miles at a 3:34 minute pace. I guess he turned his GPS on when he drove to Grandma’s house. That’s some BS.

From my understanding of the challenge, the logged runs were to only start a week ago. How anyone can rack up that kind of mileage in a week is beyond me. It doesn't seem like they can verify the mileage either, since they allow people to manually enter their runs (like I do).

Yes!!! I so want to work on my 8k time too. Good luck :)))))))

Pacing is obviously one of the hardest lessons to learn in a marathon. It bites back so hard if you don't do it right. Glad you still enjoyed yourself! You got some great pictures in there too.

It really does! I think I'm just so used to hitting those paces for a shorter distance that I didn't really think long term over the race. I knew I wouldn't be able to hold those paces but I didn't think I would have a significant slowdown. 

I've never had my calves cramp either so I really had no idea what to do when it happened! I'm not sure what I will be able to do about that in the future so I'll have to do some googling. Maybe salt? Or maybe, yaknow, run at a better pace?

You loon!! :D I love it! Sorry that most of it felt like hell, but, you know, runners wouldn't be so crazy if it didn't HURT SO MUCH! :D Love you. Love this. SO PROUD! And dang, lady. Kick. Ass.

Runners are the craziest! It didn't feel like hell until mile 20is but of of course, those last 6 miles somehow felt like half of my race!

Our calves should be friends. They'd probably be really... tight. Congratulations! Your pictures turned out great!

Hehe on the middle left one. You look good in most of them! I think Lorelie and I took some just as good ones too. You definitely want to commemorate your marathon with a picture though.

I'm a sucker for race photos, so of course, I bought the digital download package. The photos you and Lorelie took turned out pretty well, though!

I want them all as fridge magnets

I totally read this in the boss in Office Space's voice

I would take the next three days off from running completely and baby it. :( Hope you feel better!!

Don't ignore pain, I did and ended up with a metatarsal fracture. I just got out of an air cast yesterday after wearing for the past 6 weeks, Now it will be six more weeks before I can run again.
