FinishThe National Marathon: Check

I'm back. I'm sore. I'm hungry. One long nap and several mimosas later, I'm starting to feel a bit better.

Just a short update from the race. I finished strong despite having not run for the past 5 weeks. My body didn't seem to like the idea of running a marathon, but what can you do? I pulled through.

Unofficial time from my watch: 3:57:43.

More details to come later. Must rest on couch.
