1st Marathon

I put on my Inov-8 running shoes and decided to run half a marathon so I could give Eddie a time. Eddie is the trainer that I will have under the SUUNTO sponsorship. I had never run more than 12km in a single stretch before so I asked my wife to drive to the next town in 2 hours. I chose a google earth route that was 21.1 km. It took me 1h 45min. I got there but she was not there yet so I turned around and figured I should try to run a full marathon. My wife showed up soon afterward and gave me recovery drinks and gels. She followed me back and to make a long story short I ran, no walking, my first marathon in 3h 57min. I then ate a bunch of food. I am a bit sore from the marathon and can see why some people would choose to train for such a run. I also got a blister on one toe. I am not sure if I have mentioned this, but I will be a Dad any day now!
