My First Marathon
I never realized how far 26.2 miles was until this past Saturday. I am still aching two days later but I feel great knowing I was able to accomplish my goal. This race was not an official event with other runners. It was just me and my (recently calibrated) Nike+ iPod Nano. I will still be running the Five Points Marathon later this month. We’ll have to see how I do on time when I have to deal with hills.

Yahoo for my boy Ted! There has never been a doubt in my mind! Life’s a marathon, Ted, and sometimes an uphill climb is lots better than a downhill fall! Watch life’s hills!

Good luck with your race, I’ve always wanted to run one but I have this insane idea that I will break 3 hours when I do.

I believe I could break 4hours, spread over three or four days…is there a “day” limit. If so, i’m in!!
