Marathon


On Saturday, June 20th, I ran a marathon! Grandma's Marathon from Two Harbors, MN to Duluth, MN.


It was by far the most difficult thing I have done - both physically and mentally. I blew my goal of completing it is 5 hours out of the water (not in a good way) and finished around the 6 hour mark.


I learned that people run marathons for many different reasons, but MOST people who run them seem to be 30s or 40s and very fit!


At this point, I don't know if I will ever run another marathon, but I do know that I am extremely proud of myself for sticking to the training and discipline involved and meeting my goal of running a marathon before I turn 30!


Thanks to my family and to Jason for the support they all showed during "marathon weekend!"
