I completed the Suntrust Marathon today in 5 hours and 40 minutes. This was the goal to finish as my training got derailed with a bout with the flu, throwing my back out shooting basketball, and not running any long runs past 18.2 miles.
I hurt now and lost three pounds and actually am looking forward to visiting an orthopedic doctor to correct the pain in my ankle that comes to me around 12 mile mark. The 19-26.2 miles was the hardest and I am so thankful to my wife and running partner for encouraging me to run through the challenge that hindered my training.
