Thanks Cathy for starting this thread.....Thanks also to all of you for your great support.......Kathryn...nah, no PR as I am not sure I could beat my marathon PR I did when I was 40!
My goal was to run 3 marathons in my 50th year. I did that in 10.5 months. Holy Moly it is hard! Not the 1st 2 but this last one.....I knew in Dec as my training felt much harder that I might have trouble with the last one. Well the weather was nasty. Rainy and windy for much of the marathon. I was beat up a bit for the 1st 4 miles of downhill (this course always seems to get me). At about 7.5 miles the wind kicked up. I had awesome family support at 11, 15 and 19.5 miles. That is actually what kept me going. My sister and BF ran the last 7 miles with me. They were so great. I walked a lot those last 7 miles. But in my mind I knew I had to finish no matter what. My quads were screaming at the end. I know and Undulating STS/Shock Cardio rotation is calling me in a few weeks after I recover......I am hoping to do the Chicago marathon with some very good friends in 2010...
