I DID IT!! 26.2 miles...actually 26.84 miles according to my Garmin. Does that mean the course was long? Nope, it means that over the course of 26.2 miles, if you weave around people and don't take the shortest distance between two points at every turn, you can add a full 6/10 of a mile on to your race. I would dearly have loved to run 6/10 of a mile less...
**How pathetic is it that I am finally geting back to this post a full two months later......**
It changes the feelings and thoughts when you've had a couple of months to dwell on/think about about them...and for the pain to go away! It's hard to write about it now actually. It was wonderful and painful and emotional and I was desperately glad to be done at the end. It did take a couple of days before I said I wanted to do it again...
