October 6, 2013 I made it to the above start line, injured ankle and all.  I’m still processing the 26.2 mile journey that took me 4 hours 39 minutes and 6 seconds to complete, and which sent me directly to the medical tent upon crossing the finish line.  There are as many facts I’m trying to recall (from my zombie-like marathon state) as emotions through which I’m attempting to sift in order to do my race day account justice.  I’m not sure how long this will take but eventually I will figure out what I need and want to say about this day, so please check back on me often.  Thank you for reading!
