Congratulations! You had a nasty winter to train in and still posted great times!
I, on the other hand never missed American Idol or the warmth of my sofa.

Congratulation to all the runners. Anyone who finished is a hero in my book. Takes a lot of dedication and stamina to run this race. Also requires lots of training but I bet the feeling of accomplishment is overwhelming.
