** I DID IT !!**

I ran my first marathon!!! :) It was the hardest thing I have ever done mentally & physically!!! I did it in 5 hrs and around 11 minutes. I dont have my chip time yet. The last 6 miles was running directly into the wind (35 mph gusts) and uphill. I was dying!! I really thought it would never end during the last 2 miles. I can safely say that I will NEVER do one again. But, at least I can now say that "I've ran a marathon!" Thanks for all your motivational words. I'll tell you more about it on Tuesday!!
