Well, I did it.

Congratulations! That's a pretty good place for a first time - I wouldn't get anywhere near that place or time, unless I was given 3 day, 25 hours, and 21 minutes to complete it, or (preferably) something with an engine... So, Are you going to do another one? ;)

Well done! 3:25 is a great first time. I ran my second Marathon last year in a time of 3:55 - it was Kielder Marathon in the North of England. A beautiful run around the perimeter of a lake - that just happens to be the right size for a 26 mile run. A bit hilly, but the views were stunning. You should give it a go!

Very well done! Have a beer to calm your wounds. Have two.

Good for you. That is a great achievement.

Veni, Vidi, Vici! I will also state "Ventosa Viri Restabit" (This could mean 'Be Steadfast in the face of the Winter Storms', but if you remember that the V is pronounced as a W then you will see the sage advice offered for the competitors in the Roman Marathon) OK, Pedant Alert! The Rome Marathon? Surely Pheidippides was a Greek Runner? (For UKians old enough, it was done barefoot, as they had not heard of Snickers back then).

Congratulations on finishing and with a good time as well. I hope the wounds are not too bad. It's so inspiring that I might even get back on my bike if it wasn't for the weather here at the moment. :)

Your average speed is faster than my average speed when I run a 5K. :thumbsup: :((

How long do you estimate it took you to reach that level of athleticism?

Danke!

I started in 2009. In the last two years I trained more assiduously (three times a week).

Holy jebus. I ran a few months last year and have been running for about a month this year (had an injury that prevented intense exercise for a few months). By the sound of it, maybe I'll be able to do a marathon in a year or two. Thanks for the info. :thumbsup:

Well, as far as I know, you should never pause the training (if possible, of course).
Veni, vidi, vici.
Will try to remember that next time I have an opportunity to injure my back. :rolleyes:
