Highlights from the Marathon

I have so much to say about this amazing experience, but have not processed enough to really be able to write.  SO… for your reading fun, these are my highlights:

1. I ran my own race with my goals in mind and finished in 4:27:29

2. I had a great first half – 2:08

3. I ran with my half marathon buddy, Jen, until mile 22

4. The hills… so much to say about the hills

5. The half marathon merge was NOT fun – lots of dodging and weaving

6. That last 6.2 were all mental

7. The medal is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen (it opens!!) 

8. I will make shifts training plan next time to incorporate more strength

9. My watch didn’t catch so I ran by feel

10. I WILL do another one (but not for a little while) 

More to come… But for now – I AM A MARATHONER (again)!!
