Definitely the best breakfast place in the 'burgh. What a nice treat after running the Pgh Half! This year the Pittsburgh Half Marathon was my sister's first half marathon - I'm hoping to do it with her next year!! :) You went to Pamela’s?!? Definitely the best breakfast place in the ‘burgh.

I was totally squished and my calves were seizing up. I rarely claustrophobic but I was 2 seconds away from climbing the fence!

I also ran the 1/2 marathon, and finished around when you did. After I met up with my mom (about 30 min later), we were trying to get back to the hotel we were staying at, but couldn't because the police had the area cordoned off for the bomb scare. So, I think it mainly affected people finishing at 3 hrs +. I don't think they ever rerouted the half -- I met a lot of people trying to figure out how to get to the finish (and I wanted to cry for them!), but they did reroute the full marathon. Only the race winners ran the original full marathon course :-) FYI -- The end WAS a disaster. Apparently, they were assuming that they would get a crush of people at the 3 hr mark, and were really surprised when a ton of people showed up at 2:30. I was stuck, smashed next to a bizzilion other people, for about 10-15 minutes before I could even get any water or food! Roni — You probably crossed the normal finish.

The end was a disaster... so I'm wondering if I was crossed the rerouted finish?? No idea.. I wasn't familiar enough with the city to tell.
