I know it wasn't the time you were looking for BUT shiz I can only hope to pull out a 4:30. And I hope you don't find this offensive (because I totally don't intend it to be that way) but this actually makes me feel better about my marathon. Not that you missed your goals but the fact that marathons are brutal to even the best of runners (Xenia is going to kill me for the compliment :P) and really you just never mo foing know what you're going to get. I am certain that you will hit a sub 4. You're the man!

Which, by default, means you are at least some percentage of nerd. Additionally, you knew that cranes perform a wild and crazy mating dance, and knowing anything about birds beyond "they have feathers and lay eggs" makes you an additional percentage of nerd. Oh, wait...<BR/><BR/>You've run two marathons which is more than, what, 99.9% of the Earth's population. I wouldn't label that as failing in any department.<BR/><BR/>No one's going to be handing me any beer on the streets of Detroit (unless I attract a wayward wino or two) so your cheering section totally kicked ass.
