I Ran a Marathon

Well, I am a marathoner. (I think you can say that after only running one, right?) On Sunday, I finished my first marathon alongside the beautiful pacific ocean in Kauai. I finished in 6:07:05.5. It was a slower time than I anticipated, but the course was widely agreed to be brutally hilly and while it was awesome to have cloud cover, the clouds brought ridiculous amounts of rain. My shorts, shoes, etc were drenched from mile 4 on. It was a great experience and I was lucky enough to run most of it pain-free or at least pain-lite. Daniel also finished in 5:25:47.8. Want to hear the nuttiest part? We are already talking about doing a 2nd marathon at the Rock n Roll in Phoenix in January. Looks like we've caught the fever!

What's a second marathon once you've done one? ;)

Congrats on the accomplishment!

Completing 1 marathon totally makes you a marathoner - congrats! That course is a really hard one from what I've heard.

Yeah, and PHX will be flat, so I'm all into that. We both should qualify for Boston, right?
