I did my first in October.

I trained faithfully

The last 6 miles still kicked my butt. But the first 20 was literally a breeze.

It was like two seperate races.

Don’t get too excited and go out too fast. Pacing is crucial!

I say hold it. It'll motivate you to finish the race faster.

I remember bypassing the port-a-potties at the entrance of Indy motor speedway.

I did the Ft Worth Marathon in 2005. I was limping the last 6 miles.

Same...hit a wall at 18.33 miles and struggled the rest of the way.

It’s an amazing mental exercise.

Yep, the "wall". I told my son it's where physical meets mental.

That just means you need to run another one. Now you know what you're doing.

I think with training I could handle a century in the middle of a half Ironman.
