Race Report -- Chapter 2A (the picture-worth-more-than-1000-words edition)

Veni, Vidi, Vici. Victory is mine in Chicago. A coworker of mine said I would feel like a god after completing a marathon. She is right. Will this feeling wear off or do I have to do this again to maintain it?

Placement:
Overall: 28956/33629
Gender: 11790/14720
Division: 2829/3442

Thanks everyone for your kind words. Not just today, but everyday.

I've said this before and I'll say it again probably a thousand more times -- thank you for sharing this experience with me. I'd like to say it was once-in-a-lifetime, but I think Frankie is right: Chicago Part 2 could be in my future.

By the way, that awesome photo is courtesy of the marathonfoto people site. But I'm gonna buy it. I have to. It's one moment I'll never get tired thinking about!!! :)
