I'm still not dead...

Although it was sketchy this time.

I thought nothing could be hotter/worse than the Pig 2 weeks ago.

Well I guess Cleveland showed me. Holy fires of hell.

I saw people PASS OUT. Ambulances were everywhere. It was unbearable.

I wanted to quit at mile 10. Contemplated just dropping to the half and calling it a day, but knew I couldn't face my training buddy if I did. So I pressed on. Slowed down a lot the 2nd half due to the unrelenting heat and complete lack of shade or a breeze.

Finished 56 seconds faster than 2 weeks ago.

But, my main goal is complete: 2 marathons in 14 days. BOTH in 80+ temps and full sun! UGH!!!

YEY that's awesome girly I'm sooooo proud of you WTG!

 

[scrapsandsass]

Wow. You are just mind-blowingly amazing. I can't even imagine.

Congrats don't even seem like enough.

Way to go!!!

 

[Nikki Epperson]

You are a rockstar. I can't wait to see your finishing photo though!

 

[Angie4b1g]

Should be stellar. LOL

I threw my arms up victoriously and tried to look happy. I guess I failed as after I crossed the finish line, the medical guy came running up to me and started pouring water on my head and rubbing my back.

 

[Sara]

You astonish. That is all.

 

[staciahall]

I am so impressed and motivated by you Angie! (although running 2 marathons in 2 weeks in 80+ degree weather is a bit insane)

 

[Cristina]

[Angie4b1g]

September.

 

[Brandi]

Angie, that's incredible! Congrats!!

BTW- do you run in your sleep too?

 

[emmasmom]

That is awesome Angie! I am so proud of you!!! It is so, so hard to run in the heat (one reason I moved out of the oven they call Florida) and I won't run 2 miles in 80 degree weather let alone 26 (living where I did I spent years on a treadmill...lol). You are a rockstar!!!!

 

[KimJ]
