Forget 18 miles.....I just did 20.
The first 10 miles was nothing but hills, but we were moving so slow that I wasn't struggling. I was feelin' pretty good, movin' right along until about mile 13. That's when I started zoning out, getting dizzy....getting tired. I needed salt in my system, so I downed a salt packet. Ew. Salt and snacks helped, but it was a STRUUUGLE. The last 2 miles were the hardest. My shoulders were sore, and everything from the hips down were a mess. But I MADE IT. I had my doubts about being able to do this marathon, but now I'm feeling more confident. I can do this. San Francisco Marathon, here I come.
