I did it! I’ve been running for about 4 years now consistently, averaging around one half marathon a year. This year after I completed a half in 1hr 48 minutes I decided to try my hand at a marathon given my sister had already signed up.

Goal was to finish and then ideally complete sub 4. My watch died 10 miles in, and two potty breaks but I was able to negative split, catch and pass the 3:50 pacer in the last 10k, despite the last of the racing having some uphill and a brutal cold probably 30/35mph headwinds.

My legs are easily the sorest they’ve ever been but I’m so proud.

Total time: 3:49:23, 8:45 min/mile average.
