So what's next hot mama?
I think we should plan another group race next spring. Maybe something a little longer than before like a halfer (which is a piece of cake for you now!).
I know that I've got some goals in mind once my big race is over, but I do want to keep my mileage high at the same time... but really concentrate on toning up and getting down these last few pounds.

Alta, baby!
I just got back from Thanksgiving, and fixed my computer, so I am online again.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You. Are. Amazing.
I loved reading your thoughts as you progressed through your ordeal (and yeah, I'd call that an ordeal).
I admit that I got a little misty (a manly sort of misty, of course) reading about your experience. It was quite an inspirational journey.
It was great to see your pictures, too. You look so happy - and so beautiful.
Thanks for sharing this with us. It makes me want to do one.
Love you, kiddo. Take Care.

Hi Alta my sweet friend! You look so happy in those photos & absolutely gorgeous. Your man is seriously cute too! The 2 of you look just made for one another! I loved hearing the details of your marathon. Thank you so much for sharing your feelings & the experience with us all. I am positive that you are providing real inspiration for others and I know I love the support & the love that you give me. Your running & all of your training is helping you to feel much more positive about yourself & so you should. You should feel very proud & not berate yourself ever. You are a very special person Alta. You are funny, open, honest, caring, positive & absolutely gorgeous in almost every way & I think most of us in the forum love you for that! Sending you lots of love Ms Marathon Honey , xoxo Cate

The last 6 miles are ALWAYS the worst. Ha, glad you made it though. I kept hearing fans yell "Only 6 more miles, way to go guys!" ...And I was just thinking ~ Shutup you morons! 6 miles is an eternity when you just ran 20.
Around mile 18-22 is usually when you start thinking "What am I doing? Why the hell am I running 26 miles? This is crazy, stupid, and pointless. I'll never do this again."
So when did you receive the "runner's high" feeling? During the race, or after?
For me, it was when I turned the corner at mile 26.1 and saw the finish line in the distance....it's as if time stood still for a second or two, while my stomach dropped... Simply amazing; I can't describe the feeling but now you know what it is now!!
Congrats again!! Good luck on your next marathon!
