The best part of today, in addition to finishing the marathon, was the wonderful support I received from friends who came to watch the race and sent e-mails and text messages. I didn't know it would matter so much, but it did. Also a special thanks to Sonia, my triathlete friend who stopped by to run miles 19-22 with me and kept me going through that tough stretch, when I was very tempted to give in to the urge to walk.
I want to say more, but right now I'm not good for much but sleeping. My bed beckons.
Hurray for runners!

That is a FANTASTIC time! Especially for your first marathon. Especially considering how HOT it was.
I wasn't feeling great and by mile 15 really hit a wall so I ended up finishing in 5:23. Oh well, at least I finished, I guess! =)
Congrats! That is fantastic time and especially for your first marathon, running in the heat! YAY!
