Marathon
Yesterday I completed my first full marathon, all 26.2 miles. Talk about feeling accomplished. Honestly the best feeling in the world. I had no expectations going in, just to feel exhausted by the end, but I was pleasantly surprised. I ending up doing very well and qualifying for the Boston marathon in April which I am already so excited for, it can't come soon enough. Most peopel think that running that much would make you feel terrible, but it actually did the exact opposite for me. I am so full of energy and I don't think I have ever been more proud of myself, it was a very uplifting experience. Finding out what you are capable of is so inspiring to me. Never in my life would I think that I would take on such a huge feat at such a young age, but I did I am beyond thrilled that I did it. I would recomend anyone who has dedication adn desire to do the same.

Oh My God Julie I am so proud of you.... LOL But hey congratulations on doing so well, i wish i was that ambitious
thats great.. this past summer i ran a local race near me, called the boilermaker and its 9 miles, nothing compared to a marathon, but it was the most i've ever ran and i know that feeling your talking about
yo julie 26 miles is damn far. Thats awesome that you enjoy it. Personally i would rather be the guy handing out the water as you scoot by. Im a great cheerer
im telling you i could never run 26 miles. i give you tons of credit though, i know just from running sprints playin sports i could never run 26 miles. thats awesome
Congratulations, Julie!!
Finishing a 26-mile race is quite an accomplishment.
Good luck in April with the Boston Marathon.
Wow that is soo amazing, I'm so excited for you. That is a big accomplishment, and you should be very proud because not many people can say that they have been qualified for that marathon!!
wow great job. i have a few friends who plan on running a marathon but i think 26 miles is a bit too much for me, ill stick with 5-10k
Wow, congrats. I cannot imagine running that distance. You should be proud of yourself, and good luck in Boston!
Way to go!
I run, but I've never run a marathon.
I used to long distance swim, however, so I can appreciate that mixture of exhaustion and satisfaction.
I don't even know what I'd did if I was able to finish a marathon.
Probably lie down on the ground for a long time afterward.
