Congrats to Beth! Too bad you weren't here.

I would have loved to see that Celine Dion costume.

Any results on fatdad?

Wya to go Beth! Didn't you just run a 1:29 1/2? To only run 4 minutes slower on the first 1/2 of this race and then SPEED UP is incredible for a first marathon. Thats a rare feat - its a hard race the first few times and quite easy to lock up.

One of Beth's season goals was to run a 1/2 marathon in under 1:30.. she came close to doing it again in the LAST half of a marathon!
