I ran a marathon! 26.2 miles. When I started running a year and half ago I couldn’t even fathom that amount of miles. Even a half marathon seemed like a huge feat. Having this new benchmark to train with feels exciting. I could have pushed harder, done better, but I’m not at all upset with my performance. I’m looking forward to the next one, seeing where I can go and grow from here. I did this with my best friend which was awesome. At one point they were like “want to run a marathon with me” and I was like “...........yes.” And here we are on the other side of a whole ass marathon. Wow. Now that my legs are finally working properly again, I’m so proud of myself. Of both of us. That shit was NOT easy. But it was rewarding and a lot of fun. The running community is a really supportive one and it feels so refreshing. Portland was very chill and also very eventful. Here is a photo dump about it all.
