Thank you for that Mike! It was an interesting day! There were some struggles but I didn't quit! I took a quick post race video to quickly show the wear and tear on my dogs... They are a bit sore and tender but with all the water I am drinking they are staying fresh and not drying and cracking up. Take a look:
Yes, me too... Some of the streets were pretty rough with no traffic grooves to dial into... Pretty much all of forest park parkway from Grand to Kingshighway. I also met this dude www.marathonmanworld.com... Ran with him for awhile and he interviewed me for his website.. Dude is insane runner! Going for 160 marathons in one year! Here is pic of me with him http://beatriceann.blogspot.com/2013/10/way-to-go-dad-first-barefoot-marathon.html
Congrats ! That's one of the races on my to do list... thanks for the the good video foot report too.
