It was darn close to 6 hours, but I did it!!!!! Now, I can actually see doing 26.2 miles! I decided not to use the interval training setting on the Garmin this time and I jogged at a slower pace. Perhaps a little too slow?? Too late to start speed training now!
Some of us were standing around having a post race meal of Endurox (Thanks Kim, STR), cinnamon bread (Thanks Great Harvest) & rice crispies treats (Thanks Paige) and pointed out how this run was SO much better than the 18 miler we did weeks earlier. This cooler weather made a HUGE difference!
Personally, I was well hydrated and I had 2 packs of Sport Beans which I gobbled like no tomorrow. Looks like 3 packs of Sport Beans should hold me for Chicago. My right IT band was still a little tight, but thanks to the prescribed stretches & yoga I could push through with relative ease. My knees didn't bother me as much, either. :)
Next time, I'm going to pick up the pace a little & see what happens. Y'all, WE ARE MARATHONERS!!! \o/

Yea, Kim! You did great!
Great job, Kim. You looked good out there- You are indeed a marathoner!
You looked good out there Kim. I guess jelly beans suit you better than "old tuna" !
You will do great in Chicago!

George and I saw you at the end and commented on how good you looked. You didn't look like you were at the end of a 22 mile run. Can't wait until Chicago. Are you traveling with the group?
I Love this post, enjoyed reading it GREAT JOB.
I don't know if I already said this, but THANK YOU for the donation! I appreciate it so much. I will be sending out proper thank you's but wanted to let you know how thankful we (Lillian and I) are.
Is Will familiar with Chicago? My husband is coming and never been. So he may need "man directions". you know, guys process directions in a different manner.
See you Saturday!
