26.2! I ran the Ogden Marathon back in May. It was an incredible experience and I'm so glad I finally did one. My goal was to qualify for Boston, which means finishing under 3:35. I finished in 3:34... that is an 8:11 minute mile. It is a beautiful run. My friend Kirsten who I trained and run with got hurt at about mile 15 so I did the last 11 by myself. She finished about twelve minutes behind me, but she did finish. Miles 22-25 were by far the hardest, but I made it!! I was pretty sore for a few days and it took me a month to totally recover but it was fun and a huge accomplishment. When I finished I swore I'd never do it again, but that wore off fast :). I have some incredible friends who have offered to sponsor me in Boston in April. It is a once in a lifetime chance for me, so I'm gonna do it.
