It feels like an Oscar award...

Posted by Wendy McLean on October 16, 2007, 4:18 pm

I can't believe I did it...I can now not only talk the talk I can walk the walk! Couldn't have picked a better marathon to do my first...the day was perfect, the people amazing.
I just want to thank a few people who helped me make this happen (I know, this is not the Oscars... but it must feel this way when one gets one :) I can't believe what a high this is naturally... I'm hooked...).
I'd like to thank buddy who had the perfect guest speaker... Joni was radiant...and now I know why...
I'd like to thank the little apple girl on the route ( a must have for me for my next marathon)...Hallowe'en boy who really did make a difference...and his mom with the oranges...marathoners who took the time to smile and say keep on keeping on...the horn honking on the road... and accordion man, that was fantastic:)...perfect way to break the news that there were more hills to climb, but it would soon be over... so many new friends... but Tracey #83, who took my tears for tears of joy and pumped it up ...gave me no choice but to follow...and my good ole friend Betty #300 who truly believed in me to the core.
Had a wonderful swim in the Bar Harbor waters and supper that night was too much fun..that Little Rock team was a riot.

Disappointments hardly worth mentioning...but to put a port a potty by my "Group of Seven tree" on the route (you know, the Run Home tree:)... too beautiful a view... could it have just been moved up a little...and the massage people left after 7 1/2 hrs...I know they work hard but man, it would have been nice...I would have paid full price...just an incentive to fix that and pump it up next time:)
From beginning to end, the organizers, the shirts, the route, I've run out of superlatives... A JOY TO BEHOLD...your efforts were truly appreciated...working on getting in shape for next year! I'm spreading the word.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to go on like this...BRAVO...ENCORE!
