Whew. I’m done tuckered out.

blf

I finished my first marathon yesterday and I’m tired. Bone tired.  

I finished in 4:05 which is a bummer because I wanted to hit that 4:00 hour mark. I’m trying to console myself knowing I was the 4th in my age group (there were only 20-ish of us) and 31th overall for women in the marathon (there were 140 or so of us ladies).

Phew.

    That is amazing! I can't even run. I tried this weekend, and had to walk every 30-60 seconds!

    Congrats!

    Congratulations!! You know I love running, but I have zero desire to do a marathon because of all the training time involved! You really are a superwoman to tackle this on top of a full-time job and being a single mom. ANY marathon time is an achievement most people never see! Great job!

    (Another common runner trait is being too damned hard on ourselves!)
