OMG, I did it!!!

Felt great for the first 30kms. Then the bear stayed chasing me. The marathon really, really doesn’t begin till the last 10kms. My first marathon (42M), I wanted to walk so badly at some points in the last 10kms but never did. This marathon was the anniversary celebration of my starting to run, one year ago. I had an absolute blast. Hated every step between 32 and 40kms. But as soon as I crossed that 40kms mark, felt like I had wings on my feet. Pace didn’t increase much but I could smell the finish line and found new energy from the crowd, my family and knowing that the possibility of my stretch goal (sub 4) was juuuuuuust up ahead, round that finish bend.

Feel on top of the world! Time? 3:59:18!!!

When are we doing this again? 😀
