*Breakdown of my marathon

I forgot to post the breakdown of my marathon. Here it is...



It was 31 degrees at the start and it took me almost 4 minutes even to get there. I warmed up pretty quickly. Apparently there were almost 3700 runners!!!

Miles 1-6 went by REALLY fast! Talked to several other runners.
Miles 6-8 was on a bike trail adjacent to the Hwy. It was windy and cold! Still not feeling bad at all. Oh..and there is my aunt. Yay!
Miles 8-12 went pretty smoothly. Still feeling pretty good. I see that one of the runners is wearing a pig mask thing. Hmmm, dont try to understand...MUst keep going.
Miles 12 1/2 all the half marathoners are told to go right and all marathoners go straight. I am almost completely alone at this point. The whole group I was running with were half marathoners.
Mile 13. The air national guard has a water/gatorade stand. They were all chanting "hup hup hup, Lets go, good job" It was kinda neat.
Mile 14. There is my family. YAY!!! They are cheering me on. Still feel pretty good. RIght after I see my family, the 'elite' marathoners are coming my way about to finish!!!!! It astonishes me how fast they run. Not to mention, how effortless they ran. They looked really good too! Except for one guy. He had a white tank top on and apparently his nipples had been bleeding. It was disgusting!! He had blood running down to his legs!!! Ewwwwwwww (Must keep running, glad my nipples are intact!)
Mile 15-18. Start to feel a little fatigue. YAY! There is my hubby. He is standing by a lady and her baby. "wave at daddy, yay daddy" The daddy then proceed to say "F**K THIS" and gets in the car. (Must not quit, must keep going) Run by a zoo. Something is screaming...I suppose it was a bird or something. Kinda creepy.(MUst get past creepy zoo sound)
Mile 19. Run into a park. Some annoying radio lady is yelling into speakers. "You go white jacket!" (What a bitch, I hate her guts) I run by a lake. It was a beautiful blue and I wish I was laying in a hammock beside it. ( AM I EVER GONNA GET TO MILE 20??!!!!) Wish I was dead.
Mile 20. YAY! My family again! My sister runs with me around the loop. THere is a basket ball hoop set up and a man has a sign that says ' Make a basket and win a powerbar' IS HE KIDDING?!?! I'm pretty sure I cant lift my arms up. Hating his guts, as I pass him he says good job. Back through the park. (This is far as you've ever went, only 6 to go) The wind is at 35 mph now and running right into me.
Mile 21. Run back by the lake. Funny how it doesnt seem beautiful anymore. My thoughts were veering more to the idea of drowing myself in it. (I wish I were dead) Sooo windy!
Mile 22. Again with the annoying radio lady. (I wish she would fall off that trailer!)
Mile 23. YAY!! My hubby and in-laws. They ask how I'm doing. I reply...(I feel like death)
Mile 24. YAY!! There is my aunt and uncle. I yell at her (I dont know why anyone does this!!!) She replies, she doesnt either. And that she thinks I'm crazy.
Mile 25. (One mile to go....OMG this mile is neverending!!! DONT WALK, YOU CAN DO IT) (There is the corner, I'm almost there!!!)
The finish! I cross the line and proceed to stop and almost fall down. I recieve a medal and a red rose. I'm thinking to myself. (I've just ran 26.2 miles and all I get is the damn medal and rose!!!) Either way I did! I'm proud of myself, but tell everyone that I will NEVER do that again!!!

Thanks for all your support! I thought about you all! Sorry for the length!

My actual chip time was 5:11:19!!!
