Thanks for the training

I trained hard for my first marathon—which was yesterday—and it paid off. I was lucky to have great weather and to be in great health; I was nervous I would be sick because Covid and other viruses are going around! Plus allergies etc.

I can totally see how people catch the marathon bug. The training was hard but doable. The race was super fun. Miles 22-24 or so were a little rough; but running down that last downhill half-mile to the finish line, I felt like I was flying. I felt like I could do anything. Maybe I can do anything!
