Hi Abbie. I posted above on Nov 28, 2009 and I took your Nov 29, 2009 advice…and I finished the 2009 Athens Classic Marathon and just got back! It rained the 1st half, but I met my time goal. Climbing up the stadium stairs to those Olympic rings was PAINFUL! Ha. I also met some of the great Kenyan runners on my flight out of Athens. Thanks for your encouragement.
