    Nice work on the race. I use the mountain goat thing a lot when I'm running downhill. Something about channeling a spirit animal helps. (But I live in Boulder and that's how we talk...)

    I'm thinking about doing another marathon sometime soon, probably next year, and will be sure to have plenty of grapes on hand. What a great idea! I've cut up bagels and eat lots of sports beans, but grapes sound like the perfect running fuel.

    the grapes were good, except at one aid station, they had seeds! I used to like oranges, until one day the acidity got to me.

    I guess they also had pb&j rollups, which would have been great, but I missed them :(
