MARATHON

last week i ran the boston marathon in bagram afghanistan let me tell u it
was an experience we started at 3am to the sound of a controlled
detenation(COOL) some how my friend and i started off in the front of the
marathon (some one must have thought we pros) to our surprise it was around
45-50 degrees for the 1st lap my hands were freezing and i could not see were
i was running pitch black the 2nd lap i saw the sunrise and became really
hungry then i had to use the bathroom (2) that took some time off my run and
my knees started hurting finally on the 3rd lap i could see clearly and my
hands totally frozen not hungry but eat alot of fruits (best tasting ever)
half way thru - the 3rd and final lap i was doubting myself and pain from my
knee but i endured adn finished the run of 26.5miles in 4:25.... i would have
to say it was an experince of a life time i think ifound a new passion

Welcome! Good on you for the

Welcome! Good on you for the marathon. Running is one of my least favorite things to do when it comes to physical activities, but I know I need to run more. I have so many opportunities to run in various marathon type events but I always pass them up. Maybe I should try it just for the heck of it... even if just once huh. Who knows, I might fall in love as well. Thanks for sharing your experience.
