thank you all! I might have one more left in me. i have heard good things about grandma\'s marathon in Duluth. I had a much better time during my 1/2 marathon this past march. you recover a lot faster too! I could run several 1/2s a year instead of just one marathon. but I am actually not too bad off today, a little sore and definitely tired. still had enough energy to walk in the memorial day parade with my scouts today!
