Notes
First marathon attempted, first marathon completed. I'll use the word completed. Haha. Everything was groovy until mile 17, then poop hit the fan. My splits were as such, 6 mile: 43:12, half: 1:34:06, 20 mile: 2:40:55, Marathon: 3:58:19. My right arch started hurting soo bad and then I changed my running form ever so slightly, that my left knee began to hurt really bad as well. Then I adjusted my running form because of my knee, and my left hip began to hurt. That's when I said "screw it" and I gave up worrying about my finish time and I just worried about finishing the race. I wound up walking a major portion of the marathon. It was really humbling to have to walk in a race, it was my first time ever walking in a race. Argh... Over all I'm really happy that I ran this marathon. I don't know if I'll ever do one again though ;-)
