I Am A Marathoner.

Just a really quick post tonight. I am a marathoner! And I have the medal to prove it. The time wasn't what I was quite hoping for but I did make my primary goal of finishing in an upright position. The time? 4:06:50 (unofficially from my own timing) the event? Well organized. The weather? Almost perfect. I've been a little disappointed this afternoon because of the time and because my stomach let me down. But when I think of all the times (and there were many in the past few months) where I almost changed events, I'm really happy that I went through with it. And I've been so touched by all the support I've received. I'll post a full race report when I get back to my computer.
