Whether you know it or not, you were SUPER tough out there and kept going long after many would have quit. But stopping when you did was the smart thing for your long term health and long term running. I am so sorry about your knee and hope that it heals quickly. Hang in there! There will be more races, more medals, and more victories and they will be that much sweeter after this experience.SupermomE13https://www.blogger.com/profile/11305105357197956694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-85568383835079889772012-05-03T10:36:48.039-05:002012-05-03T10:36:48.039-05:00The pics look like a beautiful course.

Totally understand the not wanting the wheelchair unless the bone is breaking thru skin. <br />I really hope your knee gets better soon. <br />You will bounce back from this DNF with an awesome marathon time as soon as that knee heals up. I'd suggest Seattle RnR but that might be too soon. If you ever want to take a trip to Idaho we have a few fall marathons :)Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915445766937263434noreply@blogger.com
