Are these pics along the route pics you took? did you carry a camera or was it your phone?

@Tanya, I love photography and so I enjoy carrying a camera in one hand during the races. I set it on the "Sports" setting so most don't turn out blurry. Before this race I picked up a Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS on Amazon for $149 and it was perfect! It shoots 1080P video too!

Wow, that's pretty cool. You don't mind carrying something in your hand for that long? I've been considering switching to a handheld water bottle since the belts just never fit right. I couldn't imagine carrying a camera but you got some cool and funny shots - so worth it!

good Garmin 310XT Test Drive 3.26 mi 00:21 9.4mph pace
OMG, we broke down and bought a Garmin! Since my left knee is still not happy, I decided to take a short, easy ride around the hood to give it a try. I'm happy with it so far, it seems very ... read more

Ah the 310XT. VERY fine choice & great prices! Especially if you think you'll want it for cycling in the future. And it's really smart to try it out & see what you like & don't like before investing in a 2nd one. (sorry Kim!) You may find you prefer your smart phone, or see what features you really want in the nxt one. Yea! I <3 gear!

Nice recap Chuck! Glad you were able to 'Gut it out' and finish your first marathon! Woohoo, we're marathoners! I really enjoyed all your pics and videos. I realized afterwards that I wasn't paying that much attention to what was going on around me:). Looks like you had as much fun as one can while going through pain!

FYI, RnR Pittsburgh in August has been postponed.

THat's disappointing. THe comments on the article are interesting. R&R does a half in Chicago at the end of July and they have done a great job dealing with the heat and providing proper support for the race. Surprised to hear the comments people had with bad experiences.

Yeah for no pain! Just keep it easy and build up slowly.
