Love that you ran a marathon as a training run! I've done it once before so I don't see any problem with it :)Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720800873803974929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080856887174526132.post-47965253727596445142009-09-08T20:55:37.366-05:002009-09-08T20:55:37.366-05:00Thanks for the comments.

Will give some of them a try.<br /><br />Meg - yes, I think there were around 180 in the marathon and maybe 200 in the 14.2 mile. Yikes - I hate to hear about the altitude issues. Maybe St. George will be different for me because we will start at the top @ 5500 and head down. I hope it will be ok.

You were right, it was a small marathon. I don't think I've ever seen one of those.<br />Great job, great time and you seem spry still! All in all, a success!<br />By the way, you asked me about the elevation and YES, I noticed it right away, especially as we approached the top. My heart rate went up and everything go heavier...of course that was around the top after 10 miles...but I did feel oddly different.<br />Congrats Happy Girl,<br />megAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129091073767399081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080856887174526132.post-5131513312245518142009-09-07T19:49:51.768-05:002009-09-07T19:49:51.768-05:00Ginny- you look great coming through that finish l...Ginny- you look great coming through that finish line!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13061231036755945077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080856887174526132.post-76109694613868465742009-09-07T18:25:12.879-05:002009-09-07T18:25:12.879-05:00Awesome training run and finish time - you'll ...Awesome training run and finish time - you'll be ready to fly at St. George! I always enjoy looking at the photos!!! And YES!!! I LOVE my skirts but am choosy. I have three brands I like: I have been wearing my Atalanta skirts more lately (www.skirtgoddess.com). I have the Commitment style - nice long shorts underneath that DO NOT ride up the legs - part of the secret is not getting too small a size, I think. The fabric is very durable and I like the two big pockets in the back. I have also been wearing my Sporthill skirts a lot(www.rei-outlet.com). Shorter "boy" shorts underneath but very comfy - and a nice substantial fabric. I also like Skirt Sports but haven't been wearing them as much lately. The older S.S. "Gym Girl" style has nice shorts underneath but are tighter and tend to ride up my legs. The newer model might be better. The skirt itself has a very flattering cut. They are all comfy regardless of how long I am out. Hope that helps!<br />K :-)HappyTrailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17651141743444721517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080856887174526132.post-31255847049061799052009-09-07T17:07:50.354-05:002009-09-07T17:07:50.354-05:00Great race report!
