First Marathon!


Huntington Beach! Great course, great weather, great people. Awesome event! I started on track with my running plan. I ran a 10 minute mile until mile 20, then developed a blister on my right big toe and my knees started hurting. I slowed up and finished with a 11:10 pace at 4:52:26. Slower than I wanted, but I learned a lot about those last 6 miles. I haven't been over 20 miles but one time before (only to 24.5). I need to further develop the muscles that support my knees and work on my speed. I got a sweet medal and technical shirt and many great memories.

On to Oklahoma City in April!
