But congratulations anyway! :) “Congratulations” seems like such a pale remark when considering what you just accomplished.

Chris, you may want to integrate some yoga into your training which will help with soreness and could possibly help you to prevent injuries. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

It is an accomplishment and a unique high. I also discovered the bragging rights alone are worth the ordeal. My own marathon mission started at age 50 when I panicked and needed to prove I really wasn't that old. Six weeks later I finished my first one - apparently I'm built for endurance, but not for speed. I finished my ninth at age 60 and decided that was enough. I never did get any faster and the long grind was becoming less appealing. Not to mention the 3 - 4 hours on the road every weekend. Enjoy the next one! Congratulations!

I did register on Tuesday for a 13.1 half marathon in September... 4 days after, still sore... and probably won't run until mid next week.

I started running 3 years ago, dropping 70 lbs, and ended up training for the NY Marathon in Nov 2007. Since I never ran in my life, finishing the marathon was one of my greastest accomplishments. I truly believe that like Debbie stated above, ANYTHING can be accomplished if you put your mind to it. It was the greatest experience and would recommend it to anyone. Great job, Nick Congratulations!

I just started walking back and forth to the San Diego Zoo. It's 3 miles each way and some of it is uphill. It's exhausting but the more I do it, the easier it gets! Good for you Chris!

I used to be a marathon runner, along time ago when I was much younger and before I had kids, and I know how much time and energy it takes. Kudos to you for doing it with a family and a business. I'm sure finding the time to train required a lot of discipline. The cool thing is, is that now you are part of a very elite club. You've done something most people will never do. And that's got to make you feel pretty special. Plus, now that you've done it, it's pretty easy to see that you can do ANYTHING if you set your mind to it! Congrats again! Debbie BTW - I live in San Diego and while the Rock 'n Roll Marathon didn't exist when I ran my marathons, I've heard great things about it. Plus, the weather is great here for running! :-) Congratulations Chris!

Your sharing encourages me on many fronts. (I could wax philosophically for another 2 dozen lines but I don't want this comment thread to end up like that authority thread.) Congratulations again!
