Nicole and I signed up for the Nike Women's Marathon back in February as we heard so many good things about the event and really wanted to run our first marathon together. So Nicole git pregnant and dropped out but I was still determined.
I trained quite a bit during the year and really had a good time. However the last weeks had been rather tricky - complicated by a first a back and then a knee injury plus jetlag traveling to Europe twice.
However it was enough I made to the finish line yesterday. The first 4 hours were really fun but the last hour was a lot of pain - but sometimes you have to get through it...
As many signs said yesterday:
Life is not a sprint it's a marathon.

Yes, indeed, life is a marathon. I have a plan to try one next year.

Hey TJ!
....sag bescheid, wenn Du den nächsten läufst - kann auch ruhig ein halber sein - die Twins lassen wohl nicht viel Zeit zum Trainieren...- oder wir machen mal bei Euch in der tollen Gegend einen Tria zusammen! Mady macht dann die Logistik und mentale Betreuung! Inga ;-)

I can say that a marathon is not for everybody. You are really a hero. I'm sure that I won't be able to run a marathon.

And now that you're done, you'll want to improve that time. I wanted to just finish one and be done, now I'm signed up for my 4th. Nice post.
