After fighting through nagging injury and constantly changing work shifts to get to this point, hog4life toes the line this weekend for his marathon.

Dec

hog4life

Rocket City Marathon

Huntsville, AL

1st Marathon

Hope you have a great day tomorrow -- despite the weather...despite life getting in the way of your training cycle. Take it easy and run to what your body delivers....halfway is about at the 20mi mark.

Thanks everyone. Expo was good, scored a bunch of running clothes, but there was not a size 9.5 in the building!

Just a quick check in, time was 5:36. I crossed the half in 2:14, then the wheels fell off. I finished with a smile though, so all was good.

You crazy person! You just ran a marathon! Congrats.

(Sorry the wheels fell off. Did you learn enough to know why? I know you must be disappointed so I just hope you can feel accomplished!)

I pretty sure there are several things that contributed to it, and I'll point this all out in the RR.

After being very sore and stiff last night, I feel remarkably well this morning. I'm heading out of town for an over night err with the wife; I'll work on the race report in a few days.

Thank you for the kind words!
