<p>I finished a freaking marathon!</p>
<p>I ran the <a href="http://www.usroadsports.com/Signature/Georgia/">2014 Publix Georgia Marathon</a> in Atlanta on March 23. I got up at 4:00 AM, drove to the <a href="http://www.itsmarta.com">MARTA</a> train station, and took the train to Centennial Park, where the race started and finished.</p>
<p>The weather was good for running a marathon. Temperatures were in the 50's, and the sky was covered with clouds. The forecast called for rain, but aside from a few sprinkles halfway through the race, we stayed dry.</p>
<p>I have previously run two half marathons with times around 2:10, so I was expecting my marathon time to be somewhere between four-and-a-half and five hours.</p>
<p>That was wildly optimistic.</p>
<p>The Georgia Marathon <a href="http://www.usroadsports.com/Signature/Georgia/PDF/2014_PGM_CourseMap.pdf">course</a> is very hilly. The course I run when training has more hills than the average marathon course, I think, but it didn’t prepare me for this course.</p>
<p>For the first ten miles, I kept to my goal pace of ten and a half minutes per mile. After mile 12, I had to walk up most of the uphill stretches, and there were a <em>lot</em> of uphill stretches. After mile 21, I couldn’t even run on the downhill stretches anymore. My legs would cramp whenever I tried to run. I wasn’t even sure I’d be able to walk those last five miles.</p>
<p>My final time was 5:41, about an hour longer than I expected. I think I did everything right in terms of preparation, nutrition, hydration, and pacing. I just hadn’t built up the endurance to run 26 miles of hills.</p>
<p>But hey, I finished a freaking marathon.</p>
<p>My FitBit says I took over 54,000 steps (including steps walking to/from the marathon). I suspect that will be my daily step record for a while.</p>
<p>On mile 20, some spectators were handing out cups with a brownish liquid. I assumed it was iced tea, but was delighted to find that it was cold beer. I’d like to nominate those people for the Presidential Medal of Freedom.</p>
