my first marathon

I ran my first marathon, the kentucky derby marathon in Louisville in 4 hours and 16 minutes!

i HAD three goals - don’t stop running (no walking no matter what, not even to drink water), finish the marathon - all 26.2 miles, and finish under four hours and 30 minutes, absolutely no slower than 5 hours. So i accomplished all my goals and then some!

i feel so great about this accomplishment - something i’ve wanted to do all my life. I’ve been so sore - but the pain is so worth it.

i’m sick now- have a cold and i’m a mess, but i cling to the satisfaction that i ran a marathon and lived to tell about it. Thank you God for getting me through.
