Four marathons in four weeks is just plain crazy. First-time races always have their glitches and I'm sure next year there will be a course marshal or some kind of course marking to make sure it doesn't happen again.<BR/><BR/>Take care of those tender feet -- they've been through a lot. And congratulations again on such an amazing feat.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377440606704745517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162202.post-89113982785623258602007-05-16T13:21:00.000-07:002007-05-16T13:21:00.000-07:00You're awesome, Michelle!
