This was the first marathon I've ever started not fully believing that I'd finish. I registered 11 months ago, in the time before cancer. Almost simply out of stubbornness, I towed the start line.
It wasn't a personal best, but not a personal worst either. I'm pretty damn proud that I slogged through the heat and sun. I hope my training partner Taters is proud, too...

The other great event this weekend was getting to watch the US Olympic Trials for the marathon. I volunteered the day before for some set-up events and got to meet most of my favorite female runners. I maybe giggled and gushed most of the day.
Then we watched them run on a really, really tough day. It was amazing.
Lots of personal heroes for me in those photos...
Ok, that's enough about running. I'm recovering for a while, so a lot more knitting will be happening. And also: Stitches West is this coming weekend! YARN!!
