Today I run, for the first time, the marathon. The marathon distance is 42.195 km. I finished it in 4:28 (i.e. a little under 4 hours and a half). Although I drank a lot of isotonic drinks and water (about 2 liters) during the course, at the end of the course I was weighting with 2.5kg less then at the start (perhaps lost water). Now my legs hurt and it’s a bit difficult to walk, but during the course I had no particular problems. Now I look forward to doing it again (with a better time?).

hey man i ran a marathon in 2000 when I was 21
I didn’t leave the bed for 2 days after that. I haven’t done another one. But I love half marathons. I’d love to get back into marathoning shape. Congrats man, you’re in the fittest 1% of earth’s human population right now. Something like that anyway.
