Forums >Look What I Can Do!>Rowed my first marathon
Master of the Side Eye
I have been struggling with PF for 18 months so I have not been able to run. After not being as active as I should last year (consistently), I picked up indoor rowing in January. In February I got a Concept2 rower at home. In March I rowed at least 10K for 25 days of the month as part of an online challenge. But this is the best - I ended my "marathon virginity" by rowing my first marathon on Friday.
TRUST THE PROCESS
Congratulations! How long did it take? I can't even imagine doing that.
Out there running since dinosaurs roamed the earth
I am slow and took liberal breaks, so it took me 4 hr 6 min.

Pretty sore. I am fairly new to rowing. However, I was able to mow the yard the next day (ouch!) so it could have been tons worse. Everything hurt. I don't think a single spot was left unscathed.
haha sounds like my kind of sport. Pain is my game
