Happiness is obvious.
As a post script: I had no idea my primary care physician is one of the sponsors for this race. I know I haven't mentioned him before, but Dr. Bob (or as my wife and I call him "the voice of reason") fixed me up proper just before my first marathon. As is not uncommon among those training for a marathon, I got sick about two weeks before my race. Dr. Bob wasn't sure what I had, so he treated me with a shotgun approach (which I fully endorsed) and sure enough I was healed up pretty quick and even managed to taper properly. Thanks Dr. Bob, and I'm glad we got to chat today. I'll be back next year to help out however I can.
