Pre-race routine:

Took group picture with the rest of the Manitowoc Team. This run was dedicated to Amy who was killed in a car crash in Nov 2010. She was meant to be in it.
Picked up packet on Saturaday. Was not in good spirits all day because of things with my family.
Event warmup:

Nothing really. This was my first every Marathon.

Comments:

Again Very Windy. I was trying to enjoy it. I was surpirised to see i started to speed up towards the end. It was all about management. I even sent status on my facebook on my phone during parts of it to keep me going. The crowds were great! they really got me throught the hard parts. I didnt walk any of it which i was also surprised about. With 1/2 mile left i nearly tripped badly but managed somehow to stay upright.
About Mile 23-24 is when i started to hurt and good bit. No cramps or blisters or sores just the top of my feet hurt and good bit. I ran through the pain as i kept telling myself people with cancer have to go through more pain than this.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really. For my first Marathon i did surprisingly well.
Marathons are not really my thing. It does not seem healthy to be in this much soreness. I cant workout for two-three days either and thats going to bug me. I will stick to half marathons unless it is a special circumstance. This one was for you Amy.
Post race
Warm down:

Went to Panera for lunch. Had alot of trouble walking after sitting down for a while. Lots of fluids

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wind maybe?
