Milwaukee Marathon is done! What a run!
Finish Time: 4h 00m 36sWOW-it's finally done! The "full report" will be at a later date. But, in short, what a well run, fun event for my 1st full marathon! There were NO problems, from shuttle ride up to the start to the engraving of the medal, even the weather cooperated (cloudy
