These are way overdue!
I ran RNRAZ back in January and I never found a chance to post them until now!
I loved running in my new green Sparkle Skirt! :)
Isn't it cute?
I had a blast running my first marathon!
My overall time was 5:13.
I was shooting for 5 hours and I was trying so hard to stay in front of the 5 hour pace group (you can see me in front of them in the 2nd photo. They are holding the balloons.)
I lost them around mile 14. I was so defeated!
I would love to run this race again just to beat my time (and beat the 5 hour pace group!!!).
But the course is nothing spectacular.
Very flat. No scenic views. And it got a little hot near the end (they used hoses to spray us down at mile 23).
At least it's not freezing! ;) That's a plus!
A short recap to come soon!
Congratulations on your first marathon!!! That's a huge accomplishment and you must be super happy! I can see you got the marathon bug, you already plan your next one :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, I am so excited to start training for a new race. I may be jumping ahead too much but I am looking into running a 50k in October. I love going far! :)
DeleteYour skirt is adorable & congrats on your finish! You were pretty close to your goal! I have yet to run a full marathon, but it's definitely on my bucket list!
