Thanks so much for the great race coverage. I'm just starting to feel recovered a week later and your blog was a better reminder than the aches and pains of what a special day that was.

MCM 2009 was my first marathon and it was an awesome feeling to complete it. You did a great job capturing the various scenes at the race.

I like this article. It interesting to realize that some of the things you mention as meditation practice are things that seem to occur naturally when you are running; especially long distances, and trying to filter out the pain.

In my line of work, I've seen the heart rate problem your describing and witnessed the treatment with the medicine. I have to say that looking at it from the outside and watching the EKG as the meds are administered, it's a pretty cool thing. However, reading about it from your perspective, I am sorry to hear it is something you had to deal with as a patient. Most people going thru the episode are very anxious and difficult to calm. I am glad and impressed you were able to use your meditation practice to get thru it.

Great report on the race. Especially like the "End Is Near" guy. Good luck on JFK.

I love your blogs! I loved MCM and I choked back tears just the same. It was a tremendous event. Good luck at the JFK!!! I know several folks doing it and maybe it will be in my future.

great job! i love how you add the pics and vids taken during the race, they add so much more to the report. i'm amazed that you remember such detail during such a long run. i can't remember what i had for breakfast half the time and you can detail which mile you pasted which tree! amazing
