First marathon finished!! We kept the pace at a solid 10:18 to 10:30 most of the way (sometimes faster), but started taking more walk breaks when Ken's hip acted up.

Those last six miles were like a whole different world, but surprisingly fun. The hardest bit for me was between 17 and 20. Those three miles felt longer than the rest of the marathon. Once I got to 20, though, I just kept plugging away. Lots of walking the last mile because I had *nothing* left in the tanks (but my spirits were high), and I managed to kick it to the end for the last .2. My calf was almost entirely pain free for the entire race.

I also finished as Baba O'Riley was playing on my iPod, which was as perfect a finish as I could ask for. Thank you all for you support and encouragement!!

    Glad your calf didn't bother you. That last mile had another hill in it; I wouldn't have been limping, not just walking. Was glad you could kick it to the end in the last .2. A strong finish is a great thing! You've inspired a lot of people to keep at it!

    Congratulations!

    So glad I wasn't the only one walking at the end, only to put on a good show for the last 0.2. Had to make it look good for the cameras! Congrats!
