My First Marathon

So today I finally completed my first marathon.  I know, you guys are thinking what the heck?  He is only running two and a half miles a day.  Well the official time is 2 weeks, 2 days, 1 hour, 23 minutes and 46 seconds.  I have ran over the 26.2 miles of a marathon although it just took me a while to do.  I feel like whatever marathon governing body needs to mail me one of those 26.2 bumper stickers.  I have obviously paid my dues like every other marathoner out there.  And I bet I weigh as much as two of most marathoners, so in reality by weight I should get two stickers. 

My next marathon, governing body take note, should only take two weeks.  Shaving off an entire two days off of my time.  Where as come October I should theoretically be putting roughly a marathon down on the pavement every week.  We can all hope that day does come and my fat self can still run that.  By that time I hope to have my entire car covered in marathon stickers.

But realistically I haven't done anything over 3 miles in over a decade and my longest continuous run is only 6 miles back when I was training with cross country.  So September and October are going to be interesting months for me basically pushing my body to places it hasn't been in a long while.  However Second Chance is giving me this great opportunity to motivate myself and help animals in the process.
