Louisville in the bag, It was a decent kind of small marathon, that is if you don't count the half which was huge. The full was around 2,100 marathon finishers (about the size of the Georgia marathon the year I ran it), but the half was over 12,000 plus the relay which made it pretty crowded up till the half split. Ran with another maniac by the name Patricia Cyr from St. Louis from about mile 11 to the end. Quite a lot of maniacs and 50 staters there as well.

We ran through Churchill Downs which was pretty neat, saw quite a few horses out practicing on the track.

I was amazed today as I ran the Athen's marathon, I had probably the easiest marathon of my life as far as how I felt. I ran about 10 minutes slower then last week (ORRRC marathon in Xenia, OH), and I felt much better then normal towards the end. I think it's because I ran the 1st part slower then normal and picked up more speed later. Also got to meet Larry Macon, if you don't know who he is Google him.

I also am not feeling near as much soreness this evening.
