...on my bike. Since I could not run the 5K coz I hurt my foot, I volunteered to bike the marathon, zipping back and forth to help runners between water stations. So I figured I biked about 32 miles or so. Not bad for my first time on the bike this season, I guess.
OMG, it's 35-40 degrees, freezing rain and 25 mph wind gusts! My feet were entirely numb from the ankle down. But what a great event!
My hats off to those of you who run 1/2 and full marathons. That is an incredible achievement.
Who here has braggin' rights? List your first race (5K, 10K half or full), tell if you got the bug and how many other races you've done since.
I would also recommend anyone contemplating an event like that to volunteer at one. It's sure to grab you and motivate you like nothing else.
