way to go on the marathon, thats alot of fuckin running

Grats.

Congratulations. Bucket list item complete

Nice congrats big accomplishment, I've never ran a marathon and have no desire to ever run one but I do a lot of running mostly 5ks and 1-2 miles almost everyday plus weights is more than enough for me.

Thank you for your service….Semper Fi.

I’m also surprised that this post received much positivity and to get to hear other’s running stories and future endeavors.

For those who haven’t done the full one, life is short and you have plenty of time if you decide to give it a go.

Also wanted to add that my official time was 5 hrs 0 minutes and 30 seconds (this is different than the timers posted time because the wheelchairs went first followed by the olympians then a few faster groups went before our group did) and my wife’s time was 5 hrs 20 minutes (I couldn’t run with her much because her run style is to run/walk/run/walk/run/walk and that kills my shins. My run style is to run non stop until my legs force me to take a break.…..yup so close to getting under 5, but I also slowed down to take pictures at the finish line and to get one with the timer.

Also I hit my “wall” around the 30k mark. Oddly it wasn’t my legs or back that was hurting but my 2 little toes on my right foot.

Yeah running a full one is a hell of an accomplishment IMO. Those half ones were bad enough. Well, the first one wasnt bad. The second one i ran in, the path was all sand so it sucked ass. Some uphill. But im still glad i did it for sure.
