Well, after 8 weeks of training, the day finally came. I was nervous as hell, but I hit the ground running (pun most definitely intended) and ran 13.1 miles.
It was a challenge, and I was a little concerned about the end, but I finished. My official time was 2:43:43 which put me at a 12:30 pace. I was hoping to finish in 2:30:00, but once I hit mile 10 I knew that wasn’t going to happen. Then I just wanted to finish.
I’ll have some photos from the race soon (I hope) but for now, here is a picture Frank took of me about 10 minutes after finishing.
