Marine Corps Marathon
Well, this weekend found me in DC for my first marathon, The Marine Corps Marathon. All went pretty well until about 19.5 miles in, when my knees began to cramp a good bit. I had to periodically stretch them from then on, out of fear of getting a charlie horse that would derail the whole thing. So, I had a significant drop in speed in the last 5 miles, and especially the last 3. But all, told, I'm pretty happy with how I did. Back to regular stuff tomorrow. You can see my results here.
After lots of warnings from forecasters about gusting winds, the weather turned out perfectly, by the way.

I ran the MCM. Beautiful course and awesome crowd support. I also PR'ed, so I was one happy woman at the finish.
