I did it – I qualified for The Boston Marathon! I’m SO excited, and I just can’t hide it (I’m about to lose control and I think I like it)!
Running a marathon is no easy feat (this was my 1st) – but the feeling of accomplishment after crossing the finish line is like nothing else I’ve ever experienced (finishing my 70.3 felt pretty cool, too but as a lifelong runner, there’s just something about running a marathon).
I’m pretty sore today and look forward to taking the day (and week off)! I plan on treating myself to a massage, pedicure, wine, happy hour, friends and fun – all the things I didn’t do while I was training 🙂
Race report to follow but I wanted to let everyone know that I BQ’ed and I really appreciated your blog support and words of encouragement – thank you, thank you, thank you!
