This was as much of a training run as a marathon could be,
at least for me. After heavy training and two races last fall, I needed a break
to recharge and repair some of the self-inflicted damage. When I registered for
this race I wasn't even sure I'd be able to run it due to nasty tendonitis in
both knees. On the other hand I REALLY wanted to go because a few good friends
would be there and I didn't want to miss out.
