Marathon!

I’ve always wanted to say I’ve run a marathon but I’ve never really wanted to actually train for one. Last summer I finally decided I was ready to do it! So I picked a local, flat, spring race and started training in December. Overall I was lucky with the winter weather and also found the training to be manageable. Time consuming but not exhausting. 

To add to the fun Elaine decided to come and run her first half marathon the same day. We had humid but great weather and both beat our goal times. I finished in 4:47:17 and even picked up first in my age group. The last 3 miles were tough but overall it was it a terrible experience! I was pretty sore for a few days but am now ready for the next adventure! 

We celebrated the next day with wine, pizza, games and the lake!
