My marathon experience.
Well, 3 more days I will have ran my first marathon. I am hoping for a 3:05 or faster but we will see. I will even post pictures afterwords if I get any.

Running has never been a forte here.
Cng - my chem teacher says that we should put in 3 extra hours of work per credit hour per week.
I'd sure like to run that 3 minute mile. I think it was a major event when they broke the 4 minute mile - it was a while ago - before steroids.
I was ready 3 weeks ago but for some reason, my body did not do what I know it can do. Oh well, I will have pictures to post soon. (Ended up with a 3:48:55.)
Thank you.
Is this the first and last or are there more marathons in your future?
I actually had to walk a bit of the last 8 miles unfortunately. My quads were burning, my back was stiff and sore. Also, my shoulders got stiff and my hands got numb. Everything was more or less fine up until my 16 or so then it fell apart.
I had a bunch of 16 to 18 mile long runs but only one 20 miler. I felt great in that 20 miler 3 weeks before the marathon but I was not used to though.
