Hey Keri,
Congratulations!  I'm also a half-veteran; ran mine about 8 years ago here in Cleveland.  It was in November and they served hot buttered pierogies at the finish.  Really, I"m not kidding.
Way to go!!

Hey Keri,

It was great to see you on Saturday! I'm also quite impressed that you were able to run 13 miles so soon after surgery :) But you looked great afterward! Did you end up sleeping the rest of the day? I was tired just from getting up early and standing around cheering. See you later,

hi again,

to those of you who need inspiration to run by chasing a keg.... at the half marathon last saturday, they served free beer about mile 9! (well, not the official race people!). at another fall marathon i did, they had some at mile 20 or so (i would have had some but then would have never finished - or i think i would have thrown up or something).

at the race saturday, you could stand in line at the finish and get a little plastic glass of miller light (is that beer)?!!

kim, i was tired, but i think more from the alarm going off at 4:50am YUCK! but then around mid morning, i realized, 'gee i don't have to go plan a run today' (usually i put it off all day long while intending to get out in the morning...) it was good to see you there and meet your husband. how did your marathon friend do?

thanks everyone!

Congrats...awesome achievement! I've thought about running but I'm having too much fun in the water.
