she's going back next year(qualified at Chicago last year). doing pt, got a couple toenails cut out and skipped a week of doing any running at all. plans on doing either Chicago or st. Louis again this fall.

35 minutes over is probably a disaster run for her, I bet. I had a disaster run of my own this weekend where I was about 11 minutes over my best time in a half-marathon. I've been running really well this year, but it got hot around Mile 10 and just melted me. I completely coasted in the last couple of miles and it was one of my worst times ever for a healthy run. Bleah.
Of course, seeing the guy with the heart attack at Mile 11 also sapped my desire to push myself in hot weather. It was disturbing.
