Notes
Wineglass, another 4th Place and 2:54
One of those days that makes me feel pretty damn sad but also pretty damn happy at the same time. Which is a good description of running and marathons.
I'm happy with a 4th Place finish, a 2:54, and that I was willing and ready to take a swing today. This was my 21st marathon and 7th sub-3. Finishing within 1 second of a PR on a bad day is a good sign for where I'm at. I am so proud of this training cycle, @raneri.john put me in an incredible spot and it was my strongest segment ever.
But at the same time I'm pretty f*cking sad (and that's okay!). I took a swing and it wasn't my day. I crossed the finish line and cried. Because I wanted more and I'm capable of more. I cried because my body said no, full body aches kicked in and I had to fight for every step to the finish. I'm allowed to be sad about that, at least for a little while.
@mckirdytrained asked me if I would have done anything different and I said no. No regrets.
So I'll drink some beers and be happy and sad, and love my people hard. Because this wouldn't have been possible without them ❤️
