Yeah, I'm still on cloud nine :D

Thanks, Pete! The trail running club that puts it on has been subtly trying to get me to sign up for one of their races ever since I've known them. It was so cool when I came around the corner before the finish line and I could hear them all cheering me in. I finished 86th out of 93, with an official time of 57:15. Not bad, considering I just started running five weeks ago and haven't done any training in the last two weeks.

Thanks, Cary!

I didn't get anything, either.

Official time was 57:15, and I didn't run the whole thing, alternated between running and walking. Hoping that I'll be able to run more in the next race in three weeks.

Yes, I did!

I knew I could do it, it was just whether I would be walking it or running it. I did a combination of both. Walked the first 20 minutes with my friends who came for NJ for it, and then alternated running and walking, using the Couch to 5K week two workout (9o seconds of running, two minutes of walking). I actually passed three people doing that and I was gaining on two more just before the finish.

Joe - it ended up being 3.3 miles. But in 5" of snow with snowshoes on my feet.

LOL. So easy for that to happen. Read up on how immortals learn skills and start them off right away, makes a huge difference on the difficulty level later in the game.

Oh, you have that effect on shows, too? I thought it was just me, lol.
