Okay, maybe roasted isn't exactly right. More like slow cooked it in my crock-pot. But, I finished. The whole 26.2. My first marathon. :goodvibes

I talked to a friend who asked me how I was feeling. I replied..."From the waist up, or from the waist down?!"

FYI I am talking about the Flying Pig marathon here in Cincinnati

Congratulations!!

DH and I ran the Pig too, I ran the half and he ran the full. It was my 3rd time running it and I still think it's an incredibly hard course, but so beautiful and it has the best crowd support.

Start making plans for the Flying Pig 2010, it's on 5/2. :thumbsup2

Good job Christine. That isn't exactly a flat, first marathon friendly course. It is on my list of the Ohio half marathon tour I am doing. Cleveland, Columbus, and Akron down, Cincy and the Air Force full or half at WPAFB is all that's left (well, of the big ones).

Thanks, everybody. And, yeah...definately NOT flat! Even as a walker it was tough. I can't imagine running it!!!

I am not sure if I will do it again next year. I did enjoy the crowd support. Maybe I will move on to another OH marathon...

The closest one to you is probably the Air Force (http://www.usafmarathon.com/). I haven't done it yet but it looks like a lot of fun.

I did that one last year, and it was nice. Parts of the course can be brutal (bright sunny day & running along a runway make a bad combination), but the F-22 flyover at the start, the crowd support and the pasta feed in the museum were all great.
