Even now I'm still filled with excitement! I was concerned about starting out a little too fast but everything turned out great. This is the first time I feel completely satisfied after finishing a race. I still had a little bit of extra energy to sprint at the end but my body was in complete shock when I slowed down. The feeling of finishing a marathon is so different from a 10k which is what I'm used to. I had a hard time walking the entire day, haha! Today I'm still a little sore, but it feels good :P I want to become an ultra marathon runner so this was a good start :DUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886780397115122595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35369689.post-90139843323504214972007-10-10T14:07:00.000-07:002007-10-10T14:07:00.000-07:00Ixel,You rock girl!
