Surfside

I finished the Surfside Marathon in 4:11:06. It is not my worst marathon time and not my best. The wind was tougher than I imagined it would be. At thirteen miles I was under 2 hours but I started to have some cramping in my legs. From that point on I slowed it down and ran comfortably. I walked some in the last four miles.

Over all it was a good experience. It was kind of weird to run a marathon so close to home. This was the first marathon I’ve run without Andrea in attendance so that was weird too. I saw Barbara (whom I’d never met) before the race and said “hi”. I saw Edwin, and Mark working the race for BARRA. I talked to Jason too.
