Hrm
Well I did it, I completed my first marathon today. 4:18:56. And now I’m a little tired. But now I have a time to beat. Yes, there will be a next time next month in St. Louis. But on a sadder note, a guy from out of town died after he completed the marathon and I think he was the same age as me. I really feel for his family. Things like this always make you take a moment to evaluate your life. I know I did. Sigh.

Congrats on finishing with a good time too
Although it is sad that some people have tragic endings to their dreams, you should not necessarily put yourself in their position. Remember that you completed the race and are good and healthy. As long as you are prepared for the race and listen to what your body is telling you, you shouldn’t be in that same position.
As terrible as it is, dont let it turn you off this fantastic sport of yours.
