26.2 miles

[danceboy]

I had some goals going into this marathon. Goal 1 was to finish. Goal 2 was to not finish last. Goal 3 was to beat five hours. After that, things got hazy.

I accomplished all 3 of my goals. I took something like 4 hours and 50 minutes to run 26.2 miles (yes, I am that slow), but I did it. If you see me limping for the next week, well, yeah.

I'm thrilled that I managed it, and I'm in pain...

Edit: Official results are in; 4:50:52.

Thank you! My real goal going into this was to finish before they told me that they were closing the course, stop running. So yeah, I'm happy with it.

I'm even happy with it today, which I only find noteworthy because everyone told me I'd be depressed today, and I'm not. In pain, but not depressed...
