Marathon Journal – Raceday!

1:00am. 2:00am. 3:00am. Cannot sleep well. On starting line at 6am. Feel good. Mile 19; don’t feel so good. Stitches (cramp) on right side of abdominals. Breathing through it, keeping pace. Mile 22. Hit the wall! Have to slow down. Disappointed realizing I cannot continue pace. I will not finish in 4:30. Know I will complete race. In last mile picking up pace again. Overwhelming feeling as finish line is in view. Finished unofficial 4:40! AWESOME, I did it!!
