Post I DID IT!!! 26.2 miles: 4hrs. 20 min.

Yesterday I ran the LA Marathon.

I am sooo proud of myself. 4 hours and 19 minutes and 37 seconds.

Yeah, the people from Kenya were home sleep by then, but so what

It was rough, but it's OVER!!!!

DELTABRAT, congratulations! One of my goals is to run the NYC marathon. *sigh* One day..... Anyway, how long did you train before running this marathon? Is this your first one? Once again, congratulations! Talk about hard work and endurance paying off!

Secondly, I only run if chased.

Congrats. you go.

Way to go Deltabrat! That's something I know I could never do! I ran track in high school and vowed never to run again unless I had to!
Congrats on all your hard work!!!

LMAO! Congratulations, soror! I am sooo proud of you!! I think the last time I ran was my sprint to Wendy's! You inspire me! I went to the gym for the first time in a long time last night, and I am sooooooooooooo sore, I'm surprised I can type! I'm on my way back to the gym right now to sit in the sauna for about a week. You go, soror!!
OOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOOOP!!!
