Get Inspired: Marathon Recaps!

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been reading quite a few marathon recaps. I want to know about the good, the bad, and the ugly of this crazy adventure I’ll be taking on Sunday. Below are just a sampling of the recaps I’ve read-some sent in by readers, some on blogs that I often read. I CANNOT WAIT to post my own on Sunday night or Monday. Maybe with a video?
