So, the nickel version:
I finished.
In finished in under 5 hours (4:58!)
I ran the whole way.
I was not last.
I sprinted the last 100 yards, which made me almost barf.
But.
I did not barf.
I have been pampering my knee for several weeks, and it paid off. It didn't hurt much. Not as much as some other things. Or, I guess I could say that everything hurt as much as my knee by the time I was done.
My muscles are starting to feel better. It's my sunburned face that is the problem.
Will I ever do this again? I hope not. However, I have a funny feeling that, once recovered, I could forget the pain, rather like childbirth, and foolishly sign up for another one.
I am so jealous. That is SUCH a huge deal! I can barely run two blocks!
ReplyDeleteI'll padlock you up so you can't , Kate! Seriously, I'm majorly impressed. I am an absolute non-runner aside from the odd sprint for a bus. Many congratulations to you :)
ReplyDeleteThat is just incredible....battling to the finish line, trying not to barf. I'm really glad you didn't barf! And extremely impressed!!
