My results:
My time was 2 hours and 10min. I was hoping to be closer to 2 hours flat but I am pretty happy with my results. The last few weeks proved to be challenging to my training because I took on another commitment that required a lot of time. I think if I had had a few more long runs that I would have been closer to my goal time.
The race was really long. It's hard to stay motivated for so many miles, but it really helps that there are people cheering for you. It's kind of sad that each mile sign only comes every nine or so minutes and you are counting up to thirteen.
The last mile was the hardest, but as I was running it a woman came up beside me and we discussed the race a little. It's always nice when someone talks to you when you are running because it makes you realize that you are fine.
So overall it was a good experience. I do want to do again sometime, and even try the full marathon, but if I do I would want to train with someone. It's just really hard to train by yourself. They give you a smiley cookie at the end of the race!
