Super happy for you. I was watching the marathon runners come in for quite a while, and it was so inspiring…can’t wait to run my first full in January! It IS a great finish line, the medal is adorable, and yeah, I mean, the fact that you live in CT…perfect choice. :-D

The medal is definitely cute — and sparkly. Which I love. Haha. :)

Sorry your race didn’t go as well as you wanted. I’m extremely jealous of your shirt and medal from this race.

I ran the full (my first). Nice weather. I could have used a few more clouds though our second half was full sun. Interested to read what you thought. I picked it for the dramatic finish line and the awesome medal (and I live in CT).

Aw, thanks so much! I was excited to have that photo. It probably won’t ever happen again, thanks to Mr. Speed Racer over here, haha. It was definitely a rough course…I still HATE HILLS, and I will never stop being a baby about them, lol.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll probably say it again, but you two look so cute together :) Great job on your time as well, especially with those dang hills!! You are awesome!

I’m all about the pictures, as you know, so I’ve had lots of practice in trying to get that “perfect” shot, haha.

Haha, yes, it’s funny how we ended up going to a zoo after both of these races! We figure we’re already smelly and sweaty and gross, and if you go to a zoo where there are lots of stinky animals, nobody is going to notice our stench, LOL. ;)

That’s so sweet of you to say, thank you! I was happy, too — I know it will probably never happen again, so I figured I’d enjoy the moment, haha.
