Can't wait to read about what you do next! Looks like I'll have to add Maine Coast Marathon to my list! ;)Lauren Mhttp://www.ijustdostuff.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381094666549503104.post-5097948817688392152014-05-17T08:03:01.040-04:002014-05-17T08:03:01.040-04:00Seriously...

A 22 minute PR is Outstanding, but missing your BQ by 2 minutes-heartbreaking. No doubt you will get it in Chicago where the weather WILL BE nice & COOL, especially after training during the warmer months here in Maine. I look forward to reading about your journey!! :)Angela Camposhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865177278607438558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381094666549503104.post-23063774039433658402014-05-15T14:01:17.831-04:002014-05-15T14:01:17.831-04:00You are such a dedicated person to your cause.

Then I got hurt and that was 18 months ago. You'll get your BQ just like I'll (hopefully) get my sub-4.

Chicago is a whole different ball game. You can run with the pace group, the course is flat as a pancake, and the crowds will push you to the end. You can do this.

SIUP? Southern Illinois University - ? Suck it up Princesses .. hum ... you have done that and more all badass year long ... I understand that my own personal circles of people/runners who are on a tear are limited but you and Maddy simply astound the shit out of me every time you cross the start line.

I am seriously honored to have shared the first 20.2 miles of this course with you AND a lifetime friendship has definitely been formed. Chicago for you... MDI for me and raise your Bud Light (I'll raise my Coors Light) to toast to "a lifetime of running journeys together".

But you finished, and that is ALWAYS a win in my book.<br /><br />Anyway, I can't wait to (hopefully) finally meet you in Chicago! I'm running as a training run, so we will be nowhere near the same pace, haha.Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552118198116488700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381094666549503104.post-20628002464567058952014-05-14T17:34:12.515-04:002014-05-14T17:34:12.515-04:00Danielle.....
