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.

Congratulations!

It took me 5 hours and 58 minutes to run Boston, so I think you're pretty fast :)

Dude. You RAN for almost FIVE HOURS. That's intense in and of itself. Go you!

Congratulations!

Way to go! It's like nothing in the world!

I ran my first marathon in August and, after a month and a half of no motivation, now I'm looking for the next one.
