Having just switched my entire training approach two months before, I was as curious as anything how my body would handle the marathon. So there wasn’t much time to debrief or really write out how I felt about the new training process and how I handled the marathon, before now. Plus, this week at work was somewhat busy, as I not only had to catch up after a week away but we also had a plan to execute this week and that always requires considerable work. While in town I probably didn’t set in front of a laptop for more than an hour at a time before flying back to Vegas.

I had a full week in Vancouver after the marathon before heading home and made a point to enjoy the vacation.
