Victory !

What a day, what a race! I'll have a proper race report in the next day or so, but for now, i'm just relaxing, and trying to take it all in. Thanks so much for all the comments and your support throughout my preparation. I've had so many people tell me what a source of motivation this blog, and others like it, are for them, and I want to let my readers know that you are a huge source of motivation for me as well.

A very special thanks goes out to Mystery Coach, who, through his mysterious ways was actually able to coach the top TWO runners at yesterday's race! Brian Anderson told me at the awards ceremony that doing the back to backs mentioned in my blog finally made marathon training 'click' for him. Great job coach! Thanks again for everything you've done for me, and for sharing your advice and wisdom through the intertubes.

Time for breakfast and then heading home. Hope you all had a great weekend. I'll write again soon.
