So I have some good news, and some bad news. I will be positive and give you the good first. I did it! I finished by second full marathon this year. I ran the Saint George Marathon on the morning of Saturday October 4th. I ran the 26.2 miles in 3 hours 41 minutes and 1 second. Finishing is always good news, but now for the bad, I missed qualifying for Boston by two seconds. Yes, I know what you are thinking, anyone can push for two seconds. Well maybe I could have, but I thought I had it and therefore I did not feel the need to destroy by body any further. Needless to say I now would give my right foot for two seconds. I must add that it did rain the entire time that we ran. It has only rained during one other Saint George Marathon ever, but sometimes that is just how it goes. I developed some severe blisters on my right foot at about mile ten, due to the fact that my shoes and socks were full of water. I am not making excuses for myself, after all it was only two seconds, however I am looking for sympathy if you would like to send your condolences. I am done now with my sad story, but if you would like to check out my detailed results you can click on the link below.
It is not raining today, and probably won't again for a month so we are off to the park. Have a good day.
