Official Marathon Finisher!

Pain, elation, jubilation, hunger.  Just a few of the things I felt after 4 hours and 22 minutes of pounding the pavement at the 4th annual Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco yesterday.  That’s right folks, 4:22 at my first marathon.  I was very happy to finish and now I have a time to run against in the next one.  Yes, I said the next one.  At mile 23 I just wanted it over.  About 10 minutes after I crossed the finish line I was quietly wondering what marathon I would run next.  I think I might be hooked.

In the meantime, I have been resting, recovering and eating.  I am heading back to the east coast tomorrow and am not looking forward to the plane ride.  However, sitting down isn’t the real concern, it’s when I want to get up.  My quad and groin muscles are pretty sore so getting up has been problematic for the last day and a half.  I guess that teaches me, more squats and lunges during training.

So until I reach the east coast, this is the newest marathon finisher signing off.
