I finished my first marathon!
It wasn't quite as satisfying as I'd hoped it to be because I had to walk a little at miles 23 and 24 but I'm a lot more pleased now than I was when I finished. There is definitely room for improvement. I'm hooked though and will be running more soon!
I will admit that it was tougher than I thought it was going to be. The first 13 miles just fly by and then the last 13 just increase in distance exponentially with each mile. I can't remember them but I do remember that I just kept telling my brain not to think and to keep running. I normally analyze how much further I have to go but all of my senses were so warped by then that I wasn't thinking straight and I just had to shut the whole mental factor down. Running that far is a mental struggle!
All in all, it was a fun weekend with Sidekick! We got to sit in a freezing cold creek to relax our muscles, sleep in a parking lot, walk around like we were nine months pregnant and had just got beat up, check out some cool outdoor stores, and eat a ton after our bodies finally realized that we'd spent 4.5 hours running and had depleted necessary stores (this realization took a few hours to come by).
I feel very accomplished yet there is still a burning flame yearning for more!
And I'm walking normal again. Sunday and Monday were both a trip.
Classes are swell, especially Systems Security. I'm really liking my major. Lots of new opportunities are presenting themselves and I'm excited for the future! It's not entirely comfortable but I'm confident I'll adjust. It's great to be back with Snickers! We've already had some crazy times and I'm looking forward to more!
Time for bed though, I've got an early training session tomorrow morning...
Have a great day :)

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. (If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend).
We need to get some more of those crazy times going... before it gets too cold!
