Here are a couple of pictures from the marathon I recently ran. The first picture is at the start when it was cold hence the ear band, gloves, and sleeves down. At the finish I was rather hot and had removed the ear band and gloves and pushed up my sleeves. That was about all I could do to acclimate to the weather. When you run as slow as me there can be pretty big changes in the weather from the start to the finish. Running a marathon isn’t as hard as most people believe but it ain’t easy either. It is more of a mental challenge than a physical one.
I would like to say bravo for finishing the marathon. There are many people out there that talk about doing it but never do, and you have completed 5 in your lifetime.
I will have to write about what people say they are going to do but never do it. It takes will power.
Congrats! That is an amazing accomplishment. I have 2 buddies that finished the NYC marathon 2 weeks ago.
Thanks.
