First marathon!

Jan 17, 2012

OK, so my time was really, really slow. I mean mall walkers were passing me, and I was running when they did it. But I still finished!  My only goal was to finish ahead of the sag wagon, and it was a least a mile or two behind me when I crossed the finish line.

The advantage of having such a slow finish time (OK, here it is: 6:54:13. Aaaaagh.) is that it should be REALLY easy to set a new PR next time. :)  

So now I know I can run a marathon. Next time my goal is to beat the mall walkers!  No disrespect to the mall walkers -- those folks are hardcore! They were 70+ years old and just trucking along without hesitation, even at the end. I hope I can do that when I'm that age.
