LOL!<br />Elaine, yes, we'll have to run together someday.<br />Andrea, get healed up, you will love the race in 2012!<br />Lorna, you are so right! I don't think I would have come out the other side if I'd started crying. :-)Libby Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909833677711055107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364062761827224922.post-72838377055775223522011-10-12T12:05:10.243-05:002011-10-12T12:05:10.243-05:00Awesome race report!

Not so much from the exhaustion, but it was a very emotional experience for me. I say, if crying helps you push past whatever mental wall you're batteling then why not? And AAAARGH, at those banana peels.

I loved the LGBT strip on the course....those parts of races are the absolute best to keep your mind off things! I want to do a marathon race with you my friend!

Gotta enjoy the first half and the shade as much as you can. And Quartino is a routine stop for me in Chicago. I was spectating this year with Team LIVESTRONG but never made it to Charity Mile - had a 8 year old in tow with me. We stayed at mile 1, 3 & 12 (this is a fantastic race to spectate since you can move around to several spots very easily). Congrats! 3 marathons in 90 days is AMAZING!!!!Barbarahttp://runningstrongforhope.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364062761827224922.post-14147591451845400102011-10-11T13:37:15.585-05:002011-10-11T13:37:15.585-05:00NICE WORK!!!
