Hi SR
I have been following your blog for ages and absolutely love it! I am a Kiwi living in sunny Queensland, Australia. It has been a dream of mine to run a marathon and am hoping to run my first one this year at the tender age of 50:) Anyway, I just wanted to say hi, and congratulate you on a truly amazing run. Wow, that was way below your 3:20 goal!!!
Congrats! That is a ridiculously awesome PR, you should be SOOO proud of your accomplishment. Congrats!!!!!
Good for you! You would have had time to stop at 13.1 for a little coffee with your favourite creamer, and cuddle with Marni and Jaymo, and STILL been sub 3:20. Congrats.
Congratulations!! That is amazing!
CONGRATS!!
You rock lady!
Congratulations! I am so excited for you, miss speed demon.
I opened this up and said, “OH MY GOSH!!!” Super pumped for you SR! We all knew you had it in you!
