I'm a marathon finisher!
i'll post a race report later but the highlights are i finished the 26.2 miles according to my Garmin in 4:23, official chip time was 4:27 but my garmin (and a couple of other guys who had them at the finish line) had the race distance around 26.6 miles. My legs are shattered after a very hilly course, but there is a smile on my face.
Where are we going?? And why am I in this handbasket??
right now. somewhere. somebody is working harder than you.

i was just reflecting about this yesterday before the race. it was one year ago this week when i put together my FIRST one mile jog post-op without walking (i was around 5 months post op). i am 17 months post-op now. i first considered a half in the fall, i ran it on turkey day, then decided soon after that that i would pull the trigger on the full.

Congratulations! That's an awesome time for your first marathon. All your hard work paid off.

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
