The official marathon photos are finally up for viewing. I really wanted to see these photos. And having seen them, I think the photos tell a nice story... which I'm going to share with you right now.
Before the race, this was me. Super happy & freezing my tail/knees off. A previous coworker was also running the race, but I cut him out of the photo. That's his shoulder.

| Ready to go... Gu'd to the hilt! |
Being that cold, all I wanted to do was run. So here I am, actually running.
 |
| Yeah, I waved. So what? |
 |
| Actually doing some running |
At the 25k mark, the pictures are very revealing:
 |
| Biting my lips...not good |
 |
| About to run to Volunteer for help |
About 1k later, I ran to the volunteer for help.
Why share these photos? Because they make me feel better about the DNF. I'm over it now... I logged my first mile since the marathon last night (10:23 pace, WTF?), so I'm getting back on track. But I like looking at these photos; it helps me to know I made the right choice when I asked for help. It helps to know I didn't cave... I was seriously hurt. I've got proof! :D
