The Lincoln Marathon

I ran this marathon 10 years ago as my first marathon and it has not changed a bit. The course was the same and it was fun to remember covering it that first time. We partied it up a bit too much the day before, so it was a rough morning....way too much good food and a bit more alcohol than I am used to consuming the day before a race....I was so stuffed I could not sleep and was parched and constantly getting up to drink water.
The race started and we just settled into a nice slow pace. I actually think I felt better the back half of the race than the first half, despite the temps creeping up. We finished at about 5:30 and marathon number 74 is in the books.....
mile 9 or so....
