i wanted to...

but i didn't.

I wanted to quit.

I wanted to walk to the end

I wanted to find a ditch and throw up

I wanted to 'accidentally' step in front of a car, just enough to get clipped by a side mirror and get out of RUNNING THIS MARATHON

But I kept going. 14 miles. Never been that far before. I went slooowwwwww. It took me 2:54:34. It hurt. My ITB was acting up, my arches started hurting and that's never happened before, so I was freaking out. I was SHUFFLING, not really running. But gosh darnit, I finished it.

Next week, I have to do it again, plus two.

WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS?
