I did it! Completed my first marathon. It was so so hard but such an amazing feeling. I feel like I trained fairly well (only missed one training run in 18 weeks!) but was wishing I had done more squats and legs when my quads were burning!

All I wanted to do was finish - and I did - and my time was 4:36:31 which I was very happy with! The course was beautiful, although hilly and it was a small local race. I loved it!

Ice bath last night and trying to take it easy today!
