¶ my first marathon
Posted 21 years, 2 months ago on October 17, 2004
Four hours, forty six minutes, fifty two seconds. Official results posted here. The last 10 miles of the race was brutal, as it got cold (low 50s), cloudy, and windy (sustained 20-25 mph headwinds) I ran a large part of the race with this really nice canadian lady. We had good conversation. She's sixty years old. crazy... Accomplishments:
Here's a chart of my training (miles completed). I definitely wasn't umm... rigorous near the end. week | sun mon tue wed thur fri sat 1 | x 5 4 7 x x 12.5 2 | x 2.5 2.5 7.5 5 x x 3 | 10 x 3 2.5 x x x 4 | 15 x 4 3 x x x 5 | 16 x x 2 x x x 6 | 18 x x x x x x 7 | 12 x x 10 x x x 8 | 20 x x x x x x 9 | 4 x x x x x 26.2Was it worth it? Totally. Would I do it again? Maybe, but not for a while. It'd be cool to do serious training and see if I could hit some milestones (e.g. beat P-Diddy, sub 4-hour run, etc.) but for now, I'm just gonna chill out for a while...

I'm now quite convinced that there's nothing you can't do once you put your mind to it, Albot. Good god, 42k! I hope Amandine made you a congratulatory apple pie a la mode with 15lbs worth o' pickin'.... Mmm. Amandine's baaaking.
