26.2 miles
Oct. 19th, 2008 04:32 pmI 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.

Re: Congratulations!
