My secret marathon in pictures

With my own personal photographers along the race course, I have a ton of pictures to share from the Vancouver USA Marathon! (Read my race recap)

Nervous but ready to go:

Pre-race fueling:

My 4:45 pacer, Melissa (she's a rock star!):

My support crew/paparazzi:

New running buddy:

My big finish:

Or maybe I have to pee really bad (actually, I think that's calf cramping):

Steve and Donna brought me a custom finisher's medal:

Bellagios Oasis. YUM!

Celebrated at home with an ice bath. Awesome!
