Last weekend I ran the Richmond Suntrust Marathon. I was standing back with the 3:40 pace team when the marathon started.
I stayed with the 3:40 pace team running an 8:30 mile for 13 miles...
I was still able to walk, then jog, then walk, then run until I finished the 26.2 miles with a time of 4 hours 36 minutes or a (10:35 per mile pace).
Running the marathon was probably the hardest thing I have ever done, I ran 745 miles in training and although I did not get a sub 4 hour time like I wanted, I was happy that I was able to finish. Out of the nearly 4,000 runners who signed up about 3,000 finished and I finished in 1,686th place.
