Notes
Rockford Marathon 2015
Ran my first full marathon (26.22 miles) this morning in Rockford, IL at 6 am. The weather was cool, sunny, and a bit breezy, pretty friendly for running. The course was relatively flat with some gentle hills. Instead of running a faster pace and walking intervals, I started running at a slower pace and ran the whole race (except while eating or drinking). Had to stop 3 times to use the restrooms. The last 3.5 miles were brutal as I was thoroughly worn out. Immediately after the race, I got dizzy; a bit later I threw up. They gave me some water and a plain bagel to nibble on, and I came around pretty quickly. I was even able to eat lunch before leaving Rockford. ~ Would I run another one? Ask me in a month, and I might have an answer for that.
