B o s t o n.
You. Own. My. Heart.
Am I disappointed with my time? YES.
Did I log WAY too many miles during the "taper" weeks? Ummmmm, YES. [76.5 miles from 4/11-4/16].
Do I know I played this right given my future plans for May 6th?
You
Bet

Awesome EMZ...you just dance to your own drummer and let the others catch up......good show!!!
YOU ARE AWESOME AND FREAKING ROCK!!
You are such an inspiration to all of us! I know you are disappointed in your time, but seriously, you did awesome!
Did you see my post about the gummy bear?? I got it in the mail last week and my boys loved it! :)
you know I am your biggest French Canadian fan.
I was waiting for this post.
I Love it.
You did amazing! I saw you come in as I was standing right at the end of the finish line! I love this city as well!
you know that you will have another shot at Boston, and another and...ok you get it and maybe I'll be there to say "allez EMZ!" and you will go "who is this crazy woman in the Duke t-shirt?"
That time is fantastic :)
You are going to rock the treadmill 24 hour gig!
I'll say it again.
You had a better time than 1 of every 4 runners (25%) that entered from ACROSS THE WORLD.
Yeah, I can see how you'd be disappointed! ;)
You're awesome! Congrats on what I think is a fabulous Boston time!
It cracks me up that you are disappointed with a 3:23, while I am still jumping up and down about breaking four hours and getting a 3:57 on Saturday. LOL. You are awesome! So glad it was a great race, and your time is awesome.
CONGRATS! I was at the giant meet-up but didn't get to say hi....sad!
you continue to amaze me. :)
Your time was awesome. I can't wait to see what you do at your 24 hour run.
Once you are done saving the world, you can BQ like a man and go back. You are fantastic.
Furthermore, I have emailed Sole. Now we see if they will be the ones to say YES. :)
That is an AWESOME 26.2 mile "victory lap"! Boston loves you right back. :)
You must have gone by us and we cheered for you as we cheered for EVERYONE! Good job!
3:23:59 is so so fast! Boston has not seen better days. Congrats.
But Boston was just a training run for that BIG TREADMILL RUN you've got soon, wasn't it? Well done! It was a great time regardless.
You are superwoman!
Way to go! Congrats on Boston...I think its pretty cool you rattled that off after the training week (month+) that you have had. Even more cool is your focus and drive for your run for Sojourner Center.
D
You are so awesome! I'm not sure I'm gonna hit 75 miles this month LOL. You rock!
It was awesome tracking you all morning. Congrats on a great race. You are a superhero.
Good job! I'm looking forward to some pictures. :-D
you. are. freaking. awesome.
Congratulations!
Wow what took you so long.... :) GIRL YOU ROCK!!! Amazing!
Adam and I googled your time yesterday and both had the same reaction: "that's the absolute perfect time - she's incredible"
the thought still holds.
you're. freaking. awesome.
Tell you what...just to give you something to look forward to. I am going to train my a@@ off for the next 364 days and race you at Boston next year. I am going to beat you like a red headed step-child.
EMZ, you are going DOWN.
There will be no chickage for The Manly Runner next year. Nope.
Gotta go, gonna start my 364 training plan.
You rock! Awesome job! I love Boston too--went to school there and we watched the marathon every year. I even got to volunteer for it one year. Glad you had a great time.
Way to go!!!! You rocked that thing!
Wow I only wish in my wildest dreams that I'd be disappointed with a 3:23! I'll never even qualify. Great job!
I'm still stuck on that
B.

50 on your TreadMILL!!
I still haven't cracked 3:30 in a road marathon and doubt I ever will so 3:23 is a dream not dissapointment. Great job. You are so going to breeze on May 6th!
Boston has a huge piece of my heart now too. You said it well. Might not have been a PR for you but I bet you had the best time of anyone out there. So glad we got to meet in person..
So studly ...
oh..I just noticed the picture..was it there before? cannot believe I missed it..but I am so happy to see that you are SMILING on the picture! I LOVE IT
Congrats lady! I was so focused on your upcoming crazy run that I nearly forgot you were running Boston!
That's AWESOME! I'm just impressed with the 23223 miles you run on the treadmill!!!

Congrats and EXCELLENT JOB sticking to the plan! You are going to kick some treadmill ass!
And I just want to come in under 5hrs for my first......Awesome job you truely are amazing:)
you are amazzzzzing!
Congrats! You freaking had Boston. Well done.
I am SO glad you are not disappointed! This "little" race was just another training run for you! And besides... you rocked it! You are my hero. What a great day!
so cool- congrats! :)
You ROCK! Hope you ate a red velvet cupcake for me today! :)
xo
You are amazing!
I love your priorities. Brilliant!
Amazing job...more of that to come!
Right back at you my friend. Cannot wait to read all about it! And for 2012 I am on team EMZ! Please that K guy is going down...way down
wewt wewt! i think your 50 miler just days before is a total legit excuse (if you even want to call a killer time at boston an excuse).
grrrrrreat!
what a perfect picture.
you continue to amaze...seriously.
pretty sure boston doesn't want you to ever leave.
3:23 holy smokes thats fast woman.
u can blame your disappointing time on me and that last five of the fifty... ;)
have fun out there chica.
And you looked great! Plus...3:23: I'd kill for that time. Yeah...no kidding. ;)
Eureka moment...6:47 am
You scored a treadmill and a sponsor didn't you? How else could you be happy about not putting up your best number.....and the taper of huge miles and still running the marathon in that time was the perfect hook!
Brilliant strategy ...cause I think I'm right!!
Have a great day.
Amazing you are.
Enough said.
Your PRs are
more than
just times
on a sheet
of paper.
Nice work Em. I'm way proud of you.
I hope to watch you and the 'manly grandpa' duke it out next year. I'm planning on getting a rear-view mirror attached to my hat so's I can see what's going on behind me.
tons of luv. Q
You're so speedy! :)
Great time EMZ!! I was cheerin for ya from Ohio! :)
love ya!
Z
Shawn. I. Wish. Huge sponsor---yes.
Treadmill--no
But I'm a hopeless believer. ;)
I totally "get" your disappointment, but surely when you look at the total picture of what you are doing, and what you have done, you are PROUD, right?
Congrats EMZ!
Super time with all those miles in your legs! Congratulations! You are in great shape.
no injuries. That's all that matters. It's just a time and for you to pull that off with the crowds and hills, I would say that was a success.
Congrats Emz!!
BOSTON! - good job!
woo-hoo!
goooo girrl. Go Boston!
Congrats to YOU;=) and thx for letting us all ride your wave...
woo-hoo!
also btw...the pic of you & Jess-blonde ponytail on her post is too cute;-)
You may not be happy with your time but you are still my running hero!
No matter what YOU think about your time, we still think you are kick ass! :)
YOU still are fast on a slow day.
you rock,sister!!!!!
you eat treadmills for breakfast,remember??
:D
Worshipful sigh. You're my hero.

GO EMZ!!
Great job, you freakin rock so hard, every day.

WOOT! Rockstar! You're amazing!
That's crazy! Congratulations!
Congratulations! I wish my time was close to that. You did GREAT!
Just awesome girl! That's all I can say!
Well done, Emz! That was a lot of miles to throw into the mix right before a marathon :) I love it that the focus on this one is not on the time but on the experience.
You look amazing as always! I think you should have just sported a shirt that said, "I already ran 76.5 miles this week suckas! And that was my taper!" Haha, jk, you are just a rock star. Simple.As.That. ;)
How do you do it?!?!? Can I please have your disappointing time??? :) Congrats women, can't wait to hear more!!!
You are beyond amazing!
I think you still did an amazing job!!! It was great to meet you in Boston! (Michael - Jim's wife)

I see a smile on your face, so YAY!!!!
Man, you are fast. I love Boston too - what a race!
Congrats, EMZ! you are amazing!
Hey I am waiting for the stories!!!
Saw a nice pic of you and Jim over at his blog. If I did not have my 2kids to take care of I'd be there May 6th to be your French speaking cheerleader and at 2 am when you are really tired we would take a pic of us wearing blue shirts...you know the kind I like.
