You CAN hide certain runs on connect (just make it "private").<br /><br />Funny enough, when I was in Dallas last, I met someone from this town! It sounds like a nice race. I wonder if they would consider moving the marathon start time up. <br /><br />I love love love the picture of you running and looking so happy. And that your family surprised you by showing up! You ran a strong first marathon (believe me, it would be odd if you didn't struggle at the end). I'm happy the meds were so helpful, and hope you're feeling great now! HUGE CONGRATS!!!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201592937889358953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-87866886173832870552017-05-18T07:15:23.341-05:002017-05-18T07:15:23.341-05:00Diane, you should plan a destination marathon - co...Diane, you should plan a destination marathon - come to New England for a fall marathon and you'll definitely get that cooler weather. Plus, you'd probably run faster since you would have been training in heat! Or you could go for the Marine Corps Marathon, always held the last Sunday in October. That one is weird weather wise - it could be cool or it could be warm but again after training in TX heat I'd bet you'd be fine. It's my very favorite marathon EVER - yes it's big, but great crowd and race support, you get to run by all the national monuments, and there's nothing like having a cute Marine put your medal around your neck at the end!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308631304554235792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-21940381535621883712017-05-17T23:10:27.656-05:002017-05-17T23:10:27.656-05:00Thanks...the phone running out of power was so fru...Thanks...the phone running out of power was so frustrating!
