It has come to my attention that a sweet and simple account of the marathon may be all that is wanted by most readers, and my long and gory details are too much. So here it is, you can skip the full account if this is enough info for you. If you've already read the full account, just blur out the other details and remember that this is take home message:
Hooray!!! We finished our first marathon! It was awesome, a beautiful course with awesome ocean views and mountain scenery. The weather was perfect, not too hot and just misty rain here and there. At one point we were going up some steep hills along the coast and the breeze was at our back pushing us up, it was great! Much to my surprise, and pleasure, my knee didn't hurt at all and we felt well trained and ready. It was long, and hard and around mile 18 we found ourselves wondering why anybody ever wants to do it again but we kept at it. We finished close to our goal and are so happy to be done!!!
During our training we ran together for our long runs every week and have decided to keep doing that just for fun. We've looked into a few half marathons on other surrounding island and found a few in February and March- should be fun!
