Post Marathon Recap

So this is a little late.  And maybe I am still reflecting on the whole thing.  Running a marathon is basically everything I read about, and what everyone told me it would be. Challenging, Exhausting, Draining, Not going to Make it, Oh wait Im making it, Wow I did it, That was cool, but now I cant walk. It was tons of emotions and a lot of work.  Below is my stats.  I was so excited I didn't stop my watch. My actual time was 4 hours and 10 minutes.  I am very proud of that.


Now that it is months later, I think I will try another marathon.  After the Garden Spot Marathon, I was thinking definitely no! In fact I recently began running again.  I was wore out from training throughout the winter. The nice weather broke and I got busy working in the garden and outside. I think I can train a lot better than last time and get under 4 hours. Which would be awesome.

 

I would like to give a shout out to my family and friends for supporting me, running with me, and pushing me.  It was so cool to have my uncle and cousin jump in and run with me at mile 22 when I was feeling weak.  It was so cool to have everyone at the finish line when I cross.  I am blessed to have such  great people in my life :)
