Well I did it. I conquered marathon. It is weird, because now what do I do? I have been working towards this goal for almost a year now. I have done it, what is next?
It was a beautiful day for a run. I started off slow, I did a 13 minute pass for the first half. I figured I better keep it slow so I would have energy to finish. At about mile 17 I started to feel fatigue and hunger. I ate my almonds and raisins and slowed my pace. I was now doing a 15 minute pace. At mile 22 my left shin became extremely painful. So I had to stop running and power walk. I power walked the last 4 miles and was able to run into the finish line.
Waiting at the finish was Anette and Buddy yelling and screaming for me. That made it all worth while. Buddy came up to me as they gave me my medal and jumped all over me. It was fun.
It has taken me two days and a two hour massage to recuperate. I feel good now. I guess it is time to train for Triathlon!
