Posted this in another thread but thought I'd share here also:DONE!!! So glad to have knocked off the 'run another full marathon when I'm 40' from the bucket list. First 13.1 I felt great....finished that half in 2hrs 6 min. But around mile 16 my knees and right ankle decided to remind me that I'm 40 and have logged quite a few miles and they were barking hard. Final overall time was 4hrs 45 minutes.
Highlight was definitely having the kiddos and wife at the finish line!!
They even jumped in and ran the last little stretch with me
the signs they were holding... (my middle son in the red shirt is on a kick of making ridiculous faces when getting pictures taken)
And the medal. Really cool and heavy, it's some sort of metal and I dig the gold finish.
