Thanks so much :) You helped inspire our marathon-ing activities!
At one point, you'd said that it must suck to not plan your walk breaks, but to have to take them because your legs just stop working at a certain point; empirically, it sucks pretty hard! There was a guy that was going at about our pace for maybe two thirds of the race: running slightly faster than us, but we'd pass him when he took his walk breaks. And he totally left us as we broke down towards the end.
So next time -- I think I'll make sure to keep a steadier pace at the beginning, maybe plan my breaks... and bring more packets of Sport Beans (http://jellybelly.com/msib21/PromoSites/SportsBeans/SportBeans.html) to eat along the way! (Sport Beans are delicious of a billion)
