There's a 12 miler on the schedule for tomorrow...hopefully it'll happen. My throat has not been feeling well at all and if I can't breathe without having the scratchiest throat ever I'm thinkin running will be even worse. (look at those reasoning skills!!)
So I ran my first marathon ever on Aug 20 and I thought I'd share some pictures from the bliss.
I got up to Park City earlier in the evening to make sure that I had everything ready to go for the run! I laid everything out all nice and neat so I wouldn't have any confusion in the morning. Just looking at this picture makes me excited!
Enter mile 18 or 19 of the marathon. Not really a good sign when the race people spray paint a GIANT blue frowny face on the bottom of the biggest hill ever. It never seemed to end, and it was about an 18% grade. I tried to jog up it, but I felt like I was joggin in place so I said screw it and just hiked up the thing. It was ridiculous!I want to do another marathon...just looking at the pictures of this one I am flooded with emotion. Feelings that good should be replaced immediately. I've toyed around with running the SOJO marathon on October 15, registration fees are super cheap and its flat so I could get myself a better time than the PC Marathon...but I'm also thinking I should take this time to train harder to find another race at the beginning of 2012.
