So, kinda I left you in suspense after the Long Beach Marathon Expo. I say “kinda” because part of me wasn’t sure I was going to do the full until the half/full split and I go the full route! I did the Full Monty Marathon and am glad to be done.
I’ll do a full recap later, but here is my day in a nutshell:
New Marathon PR – 3:55:07
Post run ice bath in the pool 
I PR-ed!!! I am a glass case of emotion, but mostly I’m tired.
So, I’m enjoyed a BBQ with the fam and will recap later.
![POLL: Do YOU wear underwear while running?
I'm updating the Race Packing List and don't have chonies on it under 'Race Gear' [everything you wear/carry for the race].
👟🩲❔️
There is a place to write in items you want to add to the list so it's not a huge deal, but I'm curious if I'm the weird one on this (as usual).
Question: DO YOU WEAR UNDERWEAR WHILE RUNNING?
➡️ I'll put a poll up in my stories in case you don't want to publicly share your underwear habits.

Wow! I never comment on your blog but I wanted to say congrats!! I honestly didn’t think you’d do the full. But you DID!! And PR’d!! Color me IMPRESSED and JEALOUS!!
Thank you Missy!
Soooo proud of you!!! Congratulations!
Congrats!! Clearly the margarita did the trick! 😉
Congrats!! That s awesome!!!
Congrats on the PR! Can’t wait to read the recap.
That’s awesome! Congrats. You go girl 😀
Congratulations! PR’ing in amongst all the palm trees ad sunshine! Lovely!
woo hoo! Awesome job. 🙂
I think this last minute “not ready” race proves that much of the marathon is mental for you. Your body can rock out a quick time if you don’t give yourself time to think your way out of it. I can so relate to this. I am so happy for you. What an amazing feeling!!!!
WOW congratulations! That’s so amazing, and you should be so proud of yourself.
Congrats- that’s a fabulous time! can’t wait to hear more details about the race.
Congrats dear! My friend ran it too, and she said she felt like JELLO afterwards. SO I went out and got her some Jell-O only to find that she meant her BODY felt like jello…hahaha. Fail…
That’s sweet!
Ha!
Congratulations! I can’t wait to hear how you pulled out that sub-4 — that’s my goal in November (if current injury does not stop me!)
I knew you could do it! Great job Mon!
Congrats, Monica!!! Love your ice bath. 🙂
You are such an inspiration to run – seeing your post about your PR is giving me an itch to start running long distances (never done that before)!
Holy sh**!!! 3:55, sooo happy for you. I know how much that means to you and you deserve it. Btw how awrsome are you that you decided to crank out a full marathon last minute. You are my idol
Congrats! I saw you today (I ran the half)! I was going to say hi, but (1) I didn’t want to yell at you across a few ppl and (2) you looking like you were on a mission to get to the porta potty line 😉 I’m so glad to hear you PR’d. This was only my second race, and I was a little disappointed. Don’t know how you managed the full. Congrats again!!!!
Ha! I really was on a mission for the porta potty line. I saw my friends Sheila and Sarah and was like, “I’ve got to pee, can’t talk!!!”
Bummed we didn’t meet though – next time!
CONGRATS!! Great job Monica! 🙂
Way to go Monica! You rock!
That’s fantastic! Congrats Monica!

That’s so supercool!!! You’ve got guts, girl! I’m not sure I could ever do a full!
Wow! Very impressed with you. You went out there and proved to yourself that you’re bad ass! Now I’m thinking maybe I might want to do something that scares me. I might be bad ass too and just don’t know it yet. Thanks for making me think it could be possible.
Congratulations on the PR. Way to go. Enjoy, relax and recover well!
