In October of 2008 I accomplished a HUGE goal.. The Baltimore Marathon. If anyone does not know a marathon consists of running 26.2 miles, nonstop. I started my training in March 2008, each week I would increase my mileage. The longest run, three weeks before the marathon was 18 miles.
The first 20 miles of the race were very easy. As they always say the race does not begin until mile 20.. and I agree!! By the end of the race I had blisters on my feet, raw rub marks on my chest and arms, and a fractured foot. Most importantly I crossed the finish line in 4 hours!! Accomplishing the Baltimore Marathon was a great milestone in my life and I cant wait to do the Marine Corp Marathon this year.
