Gross in any context other than running, but handy.<BR/><BR/>And Connemara...hmmm. Yes, actually, I'm thinking maybe all future marathons should be all about the destination instead of setting PRs and qualifying times. Then maybe I won't get all keyed up before hand and Boyfriend can go with me and actually enjoy my company. (LF, you remember what a cranky nervous wreck I am before a marathon!)Dr. Viragohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960384082670286328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15231380.post-1129813346510503682005-10-20T09:02:00.000-04:002005-10-20T09:02:00.000-04:00As someone who knows you in trw I am very proud of...As someone who knows you in trw I am very proud of you.

The Boston Marathon is ...Congrats - that's awesome! The Boston Marathon is tons of fun. Um, at least, from the point of view of a spectator, which is all I will ever be. ;-) We had a close family friend who ran it for years in the late 70s/80s. We used to stand along the route and cheer for him and give him Skor bars (his favored marathon fuel). <BR/><BR/>As for the war wounds - ouch! eesh! ugh! I think all women can sympathize with you on the chafing issue (unless, I suppose, one is so skinny that one's thighs never touch, in which case I don't want to talk to one anyway ;-D). And the blood blister! Eek. Black toe is bad enough (a runner friend of mine wears socks with his birks all the way through the summer regardless of heat, b/c he has beatup runner's toes. Luckily for him, he can pull it off). Hope that you're healing well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15231380.post-1129742962475930632005-10-19T13:29:00.000-04:002005-10-19T13:29:00.000-04:00Thanks, Uptown Girl!
