My First Marathon

Excellent! Finishing your first marathon is a fine accomplishment for anyone. Congratulations!

I ran one marathon when I was in college, mostly just to see if I could do it. I was a miler in college, and was in very good shape, but had never run that far before. I finished in under 3 hours, and was very pleased with that. But once was enough. Unfortunately, I now have arthritis in both hips and sometimes walking is a problem, so my running days are over.
