Great job - way to push through it. I did my first marathon back in October and it sure is good to know that the distance is doable! It is great to see what the body and mind can overcome when you want it bad enough. Congrats on your finish!

Happy to report that I completed my first full marathon. It didn't turn out exactly as I hoped but I learned a lot about persistence and perseverance, both of which I will need to attain my overall goal...to complete an IM in '07.
The event itself was really well run. I never felt that mental overload I do at some large events. The course was well marked and safe, with good support in the way of food/drink, cheerleaders (including the cops) and lots of live music.
I was pretty familiar with the course, as I had done most of my training runs on portions of it. I am not sure if I will do another full marathon before my IM but if so, I would definitely consider doing WR again. Great overall experience!
